What is recorded here

Indicated is a vanished Mayo rath, recorded only on an 1838 map and now hidden beneath pasture on a knoll above the Gweestion River. A curving field fence may still mark its western edge, while two other raths watch from nearby slopes. The land kept the shape long after people stopped naming it, turning a forgotten boundary into a living line of memory.

Located in pasture, on top of knoll with good views in all directions. The Gweestion River is 200m to NE. This possible rath is shown as circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. There are no visible remains. A field fence curving around the W slope of the knoll may preserve the original W arc of the enclosure. There are raths (MA 071-013----; MA071-014----) 140m to S and 200m to SE, respectively.
