What is recorded here
Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture within a rath (SL005-019---) visible 200m to the N. Slightly raised roughly rectangular area (dims. 16m N-S; 15m E-W) encloses by a broad flat-topped bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.1m; int. H 0.7m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From NE-SE the bank is almost entirely absent and the edge of the site is defined by a NNW-ESE orientated drystone wall with a laneway immediately to the E. The SW and NW corners of the bank have been almost entirely removed with only traces of the bank now visible. The original entrance is not recognisable. An ENE-WSW orientated drystone field wall crosses the S side of the interior and extends through the largely removed corner of the bank at SW.
