What is recorded here
Magic and myth are not the same. Arcadia is not fantasy, it is the recovery of life itself. The chamber is a place where the dead are remembered and the living are free to become who they are. This is not the end of insight, it is the beginning of embodiment.
In pasture, on top of a hillock, to the NW of farm buildings. This rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. The present remains consist of a semicircular area (c. 24m N-S; c. 24m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1m) SW-E and by farm buildings along the straight side at SE. The bank SW-W is skirted externally by a stone field boundary. An arc of bank NE-E has been disturbed externally. The interior slopes gently down to the SE. There is a stone-built structure outside the field boundary which skirts the bank along the SW arc.
