What is recorded here
No visible stone appears in the earth, yet a narrow depression and a long spur cut through the hilltop beside the rath. That missing structure may have been a covered passage, a hidden chamber or a forgotten entrance now lost under soil and roots. The woods still hold the shape of human intention even when the building itself has disappeared.
Situated at the summit of a hill and at the SW edge of a deciduous wood. Inside the inner bank of rath (ME002-002----) at NW is a depression (dims 6m NNE-SSW; c. 1.5m E-W; D c. 0.8m) with a spur (dims 5.5m WNW-ESE; c. 1.5m N-S) off the S end which might be a Man-made underground passage although no stone is evident.
