What is recorded here

Indicated is a rough circular rath on a Mayo ridge, its ragged edge marked by hawthorn and a ruined stone house beside it. People may have lived there before roads and lanes cut into its scarp, watching the damp valley below while the land kept their shape.

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
