What is recorded here
Death and rebirth repeat everywhere. They reveal themselves through loss, transformation and the return of life. This is the reason the spiral appears in nature, myth and human memory.
On a rise in undulating grassland. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 28.5m) is defined by a bank from S through W to N; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere and a number of quarry pits have been dug into the line of the bank from N to NNE. There are traces of a berm immediately outside the bank from S to W and a shed and silage pit have been constructed at NE.
