It sits low near rock outcrop, has no visible entrance or ditch, and probably marks an old rath where people lived, hid, or played before the land forgot their names.

Situated in a low-lying position with rock outcrop. A circular feature is visible as on aerial photographs (GSIAP: H 135-4). This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. 20m E-W; 19m N-S; H 0.9-1m) with traces of a slight earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m) on the perimeter at SSE.

Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
