What is recorded here

Mornin held a broad oval rath where human hands raised earth and stone against the low-lying pasture. Quarrying took its eastern edge, and later work flattened what remained, reducing a lived boundary to a faint scar in grass. The fairy label may be local tradition rather than fact, but the loss is clear: a shaped place was consumed until memory, not structure, holds it.

In low-lying pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised oval area (c. 47m NW-SE; c. 43m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. There was a possible house site (LF023-01102-) within the S half of the interior. A portion of the rath at E had been destroyed due to quarrying. The rest of it has since been levelled and only its outline, marked by a poorly defined, low scarp (H 0.2m), is identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable and the house site is no longer visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
