What is recorded here

Rathreagh More holds a thirty-metre earthen ring on a gentle slope, its broken bank still marking a boundary while cattle erase the rest. The name suggests fairies, but the shape suggests people: a shallow ditch, a level grassy centre, and a gap wide enough for an entrance. Whatever lived there stopped leaving sharp edges, yet the circle resisted forgetting. It is the kind of place where human hands and local story became indistinguishable before memory failed.

In pasture, on gentle SSE-facing slope, with marshy ground immediately to SSW. Roughly circular area (30.5m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank with an external fosse. Bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.7m) is incorporated into field boundary SSE->SSW, and is eroded by cattle NNE->ESE. Break in bank (Wth 2.1m) at SW. Fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m) evident SW->SE, though barely perceptible SW->NNW. Level interior under pasture. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011 See attached ASI aerial photograph ASIAP – taken on 04/03/2006.
