What is recorded here

Half a kilometre from another ringfort, this oval rath sits in level grassland within the former Clonbrock estate. Two banks and a ditch enclose forty-one metres of shadowed ground, while a possible gap at the northeast suggests an entrance rather than collapse. Trees now choke the interior and banks, turning a human dwelling into a fairy fort where forgotten lives still hide beneath the leaves.

In level grassland within the former Clonbrock estate. Oval rath (E-W 41m, N-S 36.5m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A gap at NE may be original. Both the interior and the enclosing elements are tree covered. A ringfort (GA060-046----) lies c. 250m to NW.
