What is recorded here

Urraghry Hill carries a circular rath about thirty metres across, marked by two overgrown banks and a narrow ditch. The grassland rolls around the stones, softening the edge of a place where people may have lived, hidden or watched the valley long before the hill took its present shape. The name invites fairy tale, but the earthwork speaks first: a made circle, still standing, still resisting forgetting.

On Urraghry Hill in undulating grassland. Circular rath (D c. 30m), in fair condition, defined by two very overgrown banks and an intervening fosse.
