What is recorded here
Mounds and ditches marked human claims long before written record. They are not fantasy, but the remains of lived lives. Farms, temples, roads and buried chambers all showed that people shaped these lands repeatedly. Forgetting that turns history into nothing.
In level pastureland. Poorly preserved oval rath (35.5m WSW-ENE) defined by a bank from ESE
through W to N; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A field wall overlies the enclosing element from SW to NW and another cuts across the monument at NW and NE. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA105-099001-) in the W sector of the interior.
