What is recorded here

Indicated is a vanished rath on a Mayo ridge where a curving scarp still marks half its circle. The other half has been levelled into pasture, leaving only a faint undulation for the eye to catch. It stands among other lost enclosures, remembered more by absence than by stone.

In average pasture, adjacent to the townland boundaries at the NW corner of the townland, located on a ridge, with extensive views especially to SE and to W where there is a natural fall of ground. This rath is shown on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. 25-30m), incorporated into a field boundary on its NE arc. It has been levelled, but the NE half of its original circuit is preserved in a curving, overgrowth-covered scarp (H 1.2m), which now serving as a property fence. A barely discernible undulation curving S–NW is all that is evident of the SW half of the rath. There is a rath (MA038-082----) c. 90m to NNE, and a possible rath (MA038-084----) c. 150m to SSW.
