What is recorded here

In pasture, on an E-facing slope. This rath is indicated on the 1846 and 1894 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) bisected by an E-W field boundary. It has been levelled and its outline is evident either as a slight rise or scarp along the SW, NW and NE arcs. Along the SE arc, a scarp (H 2.5m) survives. A fosse (Wth 2m at base) is visible ESE-S, outside of which is an outer bank (Wth 5.9m; ext. H 1.3m) ESE-SSE. An E-W field boundary bisects the interior. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (KE058-059001-) in the W sector. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
