What is recorded here

Farranablake East holds a circular rath thirty-one metres wide, built with two banks and a ditch in level pastureland. Large slabs stand on edge inside the inner bank, suggesting people heaped earth over stone rather than fitting a decorative facade. The outer bank survives from south-southwest through west to north-northwest, while a three-metre gap at east may mark the original entrance.

In level pastureland with rock outcrop. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 31m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is composed of earth; large slabs set on edge along its inner face do not appear to have formed a facing or revetment but rather a stone core upon which earth was heaped (Cody 1989, 198, no. 48). The fosse is visible all round and the outer bank survives from SSW through W to NNW. A gap (Wth 3m) at E may be original.
