What is recorded here

Three earthen banks still circle Scart, their shallow fosses cutting a narrow ring on the western slope. A stream now gnaws the northeast edge, stealing marble by marble from what human hands raised against the hill. The interior rises slightly at the west, as if someone leveled the ground for a home or a shrine before the mountains filled the horizon.

In pasture, on a W-facing slope with views NW to the Slieve Mish Mountains. A circular area (23m E-W; 22.5m N-S) defined by three earthen banks with intervening fosses. The inner bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.1m) is evident S-SSW, WSW-WNW and N-E. The innermost intervening fosse (Wth 2.7m) is visible all round. The middle bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1.1m) and the outermost intervening fosse (Wth 2.8m) are evident SW-N. The outer bank (Wth 5.9m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.8m) is evident SE-SW and WNW-N and the distance between it and the middle bank SE-SW is up to 12m. The level interior is raised at W to compensate for the hillslope. A stream is eroding the rath along the NE arc. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
