What is recorded here

Magic is not required to explain the loss. A farm fence cut through the middle of the ring, ploughs took the rest, and even the memory has become a shallow dish in the ground. What remains is a boundary that stopped belonging to itself the moment it became useful for something else.

In pasture, located on a slight elevation. Not indicated on the OS 6-inch maps. This rath has been levelled. An inspection in 1995 recorded a raised circular area (diam. 31.5m) bisected centrally by a field fence on a roughly E−W axis. The portion of the rath which lay to N of the field fence had already been levelled at that date, but the S half of the rath remained clearly defined by a low enclosing bank, reduced to a scarp on the SW arc. Subsequently further damage to the rath took place: the S half of the rath was fully levelled, and the E−W field fence was removed. The outline of the S half of the rath can still be traced as a slight rise in ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 June 2017
