What is recorded here
Located on the gentle E-facing slope of the broad Hill of Ward or Tlachta. A remote sensing survey (14R0059) in the field E of the Tlachta earthwork (ME030-001----) identified a number of linear features some of which are interpreted as a roadway (TLE2) connecting the visible rath with the settlement cluster (ME030-34----) which is c. 700m to its E. The routes centre on a pond (TLE4), around which are three or four rectangular enclosures or fields (dims 63m x 36m to 93m x 55m), some of which may have associated house platforms.
