What is recorded here
Half a farm road and a field boundary cut through the rath, yet the earth still holds its shape beneath ferns and pasture. The scarps are thin, the views restricted, and the name remains the lios, but the line is drawn across living land rather than buried in story.
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope with restricted views. A raised semicircular area (diam. 25m E-W) is enclosed by a scarp (Wth 0.7m; H 0.05-0.75m) E-W and by intermittent faint traces of a scarp W-E. A narrow overgrown farm road with equally overgrown stone walls bisects the rath N-S. An E-W field boundary at right angles to the road bisects the E half of the rath, which is partially obscured by ferns. According to local information, this rath is known as 'the lios'. A bullaun stone (CO127-057----) lies c. 100m to the E.
