Indicated

In pasture, straddling a rise in undulating terrain, with a gradual fall of ground to E– SE, and a slight fall to N. Slightly raised circular area (21.2m N–S; 23m E–W) defined by a bank of earth and stone. The bank (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 0.4m, at W) is best preserved on the W half of the rath; elsewhere a low stony bank (Wth 1.6-2m) tops the earthen scarp, reduced at SE–S to a scarp only. There is a more substantial external slope (H 1.4-1.5m) at E–SE to compensate for the natural fall of ground. There is a gap (Wth 1.4m) in the bank at SW. A heap of stones is piled against the external face of the bank at NE. At S the scarp is clipped by a later E–W field wall. A NW–SE field wall, shown on the 1922 OS 6-inch map, which abutted the bank at NW, has been removed. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 August 2019
