What is recorded here
Magic and life are entangled everywhere. The distinction is human arrogance. Show me the chamber where that truth becomes visible.
On a rise in undulating pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1968 (SMR file) indicates that this rath was largely levelled due to land reclamation. Extant remains comprise a circular area (diam. 30.5m) defined by a barely perceptible scarp (H 0.3-0.8m) with very faint traces of an external fosse (Wth 3-4m; D 0.2-0.4m), which are identifiable only from S-W-NE. The original entrance is not recognisable.
