What is recorded here

In improved pasture, located on top of a ridge, with very good views. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 20m), clipped on the outer edge of the bank at W by a NE−SW field boundary; shown on the 1930 edition as a subrectangular enclosure incorporated into a system of field boundaries. According to local information, this rath was of earthen construction and contained a Man-made underground passage (MA072-036001-); it was destroyed in the 1980’s. There is no visible trace at ground level. The outline of the rath is visible in current aerial views as a circular cropmark with a possible fosse and outer bank on the S arc.
