What is recorded here
No fairy fort, no magic. A circular rath thirty-eight metres across in level pastureland, with two banks and a fosse between them. The inner bank and ditch continue from south through west to northeast, while the outer bank shows from northwest to northeast. Whatever lived there stopped being obvious long before the measurements were taken.
In level pastureland. Circular rath (diam. 38.2m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an
intervening fosse. The inner bank and fosse survive from S through W to NE. The outer bank is visible from NW to NE. (Athy 1914, 137; McCaffrey 1952, 113-14 no. 3)
