What is recorded here
Shown on the OS 25-inch map as a D-shaped area (est. diam. c. 45m E-W) with a straight W side (est. L c. 44m N-S) enclosed by a broad bank (est. Wth c. 8m) and a wide outer fosse (est. Wth c. 7m). The monument is annotated ‘Molly Dillon’s Rath’ on a copy of the OS 6-inch map by Fitzgerald (1912-14c, 263). Upon inspection in 1972, the monument was found to have been levelled, a slight depression marking where it once stood (SMR file). The monument is visible as a cropmark on one of Dr. Gillian Barrett’s aerial photos (GB89.AF.36) which also shows the cropmark of a possible associated field system (KD032-042001-).
