What is recorded here
On a S-facing slope in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (69m N-S; 66m E-W) defined by a bank and external fosse; the latter is visible at W and N. The bank is overgrown with bramble and hawthorn and several gaps in it appear to be modern. A bullaun lies c. 100m to the E. (Holt 1912, 228; McCaffrey 1952, 130-31, no. 23)
