Indicated

In rough pasture, located on a NE−SW ridge. There are good views to N where ground falls gradually to a broad shallow stream valley of damp pasture. A ruined vernacular stone-built house and a shed are located immediately to SW of the rath, and a road on an E−W axis skirts the S edge of the rath. Roughly circular platform (28.5m E−W; 22.5m N−S) defined by a scarp (H 1.8m at N & S; Wth slope 2.8m). The scarp has been modified at NE−E where an old N-S lane skirted the rath, and portions of the scarp have been dug away at S and SW, giving the rath a ragged edge on that side. The interior slopes from SW down to NE. There is no clearly defined entrance –it may have been at NE where there is a low area in the scarp. The interior is grassy; the perimeter is ringed with hawthorn trees. There is a rath (MA071-108----) 120m to SW. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 19 August 2021
