Burial

What is recorded here

The rectangular grave in the SW quadrant of the rath is outlined by a low, well-built, dry-stone limestone wall. It is strewn with loose stone and sits close to the enclosing bank, a quiet marker of burial within the ancient earthwork. The wall still stands, holding the shape of the dead and the patience of the field.
