What is recorded here

Indicated is a semicircular enclosure beside a rath in County Longford, its low earth bank still marking a boundary though the entrance has vanished. It may have been a later annexe, a kitchen yard, a trap for stock or a forgotten room in a larger life. The missing entrance invites imagination rather than certainty.
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. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 10 February 2012
