H 0.2-0.9m), which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.2m) NE-SSE, separated by a fosse (Wth of top 5.7-7.3m; Wth of base 2.6-4m; D 0.6-0.9m) from an earthen bank and hedge (Wth 3.8-6m; H 0.9-1.1m). There is an outer fosse (Wth of top 4.8-6.2m; Wth of base 3-4m; D 0.2-0.4m) NW-E-S which is expanded into ponds at E and S-W. There is an entrance through the inner (Wth 3.5m) and outer (Wth 4m) banks at SW, while an E-W field bank and townland boundary that bisected the site has been removed. Rath (RO023-179----) is c. 190m to the NE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
