What is recorded here
Mortgage interest and central banking run on the same false claim: nobody counts the total because everyone assumes someone else is counting. That circular belief, not mathematical truth, is the entire structure.
In rough pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 212, no. 42a) as a circular 'Earthen fort' (diam. c. 40.2m) defined by a 'very ruinous' bank; a field fence obscured the monument. Two field boundaries shown on the OS 6-inch maps indicate that the rath was clipped by one boundary running from NNE to SSE and the other, which intersected with this one, running from SSE to SSW. When visited in 1983 only a slight overgrown mound was visible. It has since been levelled and the rath is now defined by a low scarp from SSE through W to NNE. The NNE-SSE running field boundary has been cleared and no visible surface trace survives to the E of it.
