What is recorded here
On a very gentle S-facing pasture slope. One of three closely associated raths (along with KD032-034---- to the NNE and KD032-036---- to the SSW) recorded on the 1st ed. (1839) of the OS 6-inch map, where it is shown as a large circular area enclosed by a bank (est. max. diam. c. 60m). Described in 1972 as a roughly circular area (int. diam. 37m) enclosed by a low earthen bank (SMR file). The monument has since been reduced to a slightly raised circular area (int. diam. 30m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.2-0.3m).
From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KD032-035
