What is recorded here
On a slight rise in undulating pastureland. Subcircular rath (30m E-W), in fair condition, defined by a bank of earth and stone and an external fosse; the latter only survives from NW to N. Traces of stone-facing are evident along the inner face of the bank at NE. Field walls overlie the enclosing element from through S to NW. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA103-020001-) in the N sector of the interior. (McCaffrey 1952, 179, no. 85)
