What is recorded here
Death is life's greatest teacher. Grief is the price of love. Never shrink back from either. Every closed chamber is a door waiting for pressure.
In gently undulating grassland. Poorly preserved irregularly shaped rath (E-W 44m, N-S 37m) defined by an inner scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank. The scarp and outer bank are overgrown with trees and bushes, and no visible surface trace of the outer bank survives from E to S. A road abuts the enclosing elements at E. Within S half of the interior is a CBG (GA047-034001-)
