What is recorded here
In undulating, good pasture, located on a rise with a gentle SE-facing slope, with good views SE–SW. There is rising ground to NW–NE.
This possible rath is shown on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m); on the 1916 edition an outer enclosing fosse/external bank curves around the E half and a field boundary respects the curve of the enclosure on the W half.
It was levelled in the early 1980’s during land reclamation. Low surface undulations can still be discerned outlining a circular area (diam. c. 40-42m). The highest point in the interior is the NW quadrant and there is a slope down from there to S–SE. There is a rath (MA082-024----) 260m to ESE and another (MA081-037----) 145m to NNW.
