What is recorded here
Indicated was a D-shaped rath, twenty metres across, trapped between a northern ridge and southern bog. It vanished before the 1930 map, erased by ploughs or patience, leaving only a flat pasture field where memory once stood.
In improved pasture, located on a low rise, overlooked by a high ridge to N. There are expanses of wet, boggy ground to S. It is located close to the SE boundary of the townland.
This possible rath is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped enclosure (diam. 20m) truncated on the straight side to S by an E–W field boundary. It is not shown on the 1930 edition. It has been levelled; there is no visible trace at ground level.
