What is recorded here

Visible as what looked like recently removed field banks NE of rath (RO016-062001-) that covered c. 1 ha (c. 2.5 acres) on aerial photographs (GSIAP: M, 662-3), and which are partly marked on the 1837 and 1914 eds of the OS 6-inch map. If this is what it was the banks are likely to be modern as they conform to the surviving field banks. No features are visible at ground level.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record RO017-062002
