What is recorded here

Half a million years of rain and grass have not erased the fort, though a bungalow and road have cut through its skin. The earthen bank still stands nearly two metres high on the south-facing slope, enclosing a circle wide enough for a small village or a single proud family. Dense thorns now choke the southern interior, hiding whatever lived there before the house appeared. The fort does not disappear; it shares its space with the people who build upon it.

In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular area (c. 50m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.9m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.9m) ENE-NNW. The bank is levelled NNW-NE to accommodate a bungalow and garden. The bank is also levelled along the NE and SW arcs where it is crossed by a NE-SW road which crosses the interior slightly off centre to the NW. The portion of the interior S of the road is impenetrable due to dense overgrowth. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2m) at E. A second house has been built c. 10m to the E of the rath.
