What is recorded here

On a rise in Shangarry, a circular rath stands with two banks and a central ditch, preserving a shape that human hands forced from the earth centuries before modern memory. The inner bank still rises through bushes while the outer edge has surrendered to leveling, leaving a ghost of its former depth. A hidden passage waits in the western sector, inviting wonder about who dug it and what darkness they kept beneath the soil.

On a rise in otherwise level pastureland. When visited in March 1983 this fairly well-preserved circular rath (diam. c. 25m) was defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank was clearly visible though its perimeter was overgrown with bushes. The fosse and outer bank survived only from W to NNW. A gap in the inner bank at N appeared to be original. There was a Man-made underground passage (GA106-152001-) in the W sector of the interior. On a revisit in December 2013 it was noted that the outer bank had been levelled.
