What is recorded here
Immediately to the NW of a rath (LF019-088----). A semicircular enclosure (c. 33m NE-SW; c. 23m NW-SE) defined by a partially denuded, low bank of earth and stone. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that there was formerly a shallow external fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable. The relationship between the rath and the enclosure is unclear; the latter may be an annexe or later feature.
