What is recorded here
Situated around the base of a knoll which is the summit of a N-S ridge and the location of rath (ME015-081----). This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims c. 95m E-W; c. 85m N-S) defined by a scarp (Wth 2.5-4.5m; H 1.2-1.4m) which is extant SSW-N-NE and morphs into a field bank ENE-SE but it is absent SE-SSW. An original entrance is not identified. Another fragment of an enclosure defined by an arc (Chord c. 40m NNW-SSE) of a low bank and fosse is attached to the S of the large enclosure and may be the remnant of a field system.
