What is recorded here

Thirty-four metres of raised earth still hold their shape on the Longford slope, though a road now cuts cleanly through what may have been a home. The scarp rises nearly three metres in places, dropping into a shallow fosse wide enough for several people to wade through before climbing the other side. Another rath waits twelve metres west, suggesting this was never a lonely experiment but a small neighbourhood of fortified lives.

On a terrace on a NE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 34m) is defined from SE-S-NE by a scarp (H 1.8-2.8m) with a wide, shallow, external fosse (Wth 7m; D 0.3-0.7m) from S-SSW-SW and from NW-N-NE. A NNW-SSE running road cuts through the rath from NE-E-SE. A report in 1975 (SMR file) suggested that the original entrance may have been at SW. Another rath (LF 011-002----) lies c. 12m to the W.
