What is recorded here

It appeared faintly as a thirty-five-metre circular enclosure on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map, occupying a slight north-west to south-east ridge below Mewlaghadooey Hill. The earthworks no longer show in the pasture, although another rath stands one hundred metres to the north-west.
