What is recorded here

Half-hidden in grass on a west-facing drumlin slope in Annaghmacullen, the fort keeps its shape through neglect: a broad earthen bank, outer ditch, and a possible causeway at the entrance. It is the kind of place where people may have lived, herded, hidden or simply marked the land before memory thinned. Nearby banks and another rath suggest this was not a lonely mound but a small landscape of boundaries.

Located on the W-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 30m E-W; c. 25m N-S) sloping down steeply to W. It is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at E: Wth 7.5m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 2.5m) and an external fosse (at E: Wth 3.4m). There is an entrance and causeway, possibly original, at WNW. A NNW-SSE road bank just to the E curves around it NE-SE as does a NE-SW field bank at S. Rath (LE033-010----) is c. 150m to the NE.
