What is recorded here
Moyglass holds a broken circular rath thirty-seven metres across, its earthen bank still standing one point two metres high despite trees and gaps. A later field wall leans against the outer face, trapping the old shape inside modern pasture. The north-facing slope suggests people once valued the light or shelter there, though time has erased most of their purpose.
On a N-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 37m) defined by a bank and external fosse; only slight shallow traces of the latter are visible. The bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m) is overgrown with trees and is breached by a number of gaps. A field wall has been built against its outer face from NE through S to NW. The interior is level but had been cleared.
