What is recorded here

In rolling pastureland, on a low rise with good views. Another ringfort (MA038-057) is visible on a knoll c. 200m to NW. This rath is named ‘Rathmoragha’ on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a slightly raised circular area (24.2m E-W; 25.6m N-S) defined by a bank (Wth 3m, int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.8m at S) of earth and stone. The bank is low and degraded, with sections at W and E reduced to a broad, low scarp. There is an E–W field fence immediately to N, and at NE a short length field fence on ENE–WSW axis cuts across the rath bank. There is another ringfort (MA038-057----) 195m to NW.
