What is recorded here
In average pasture, located close to the northern boundary of the townland, at the E end of a low ridge. The location overlooks a narrow valley of wet ground to NE, the River Moy estuary to E, and undulating grassland to S.
This possible rath is named ‘Rathpark’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps, where it is shown as a circular ringfort-sized enclosure (diam. 25-30m). It has been levelled, and there is no visible trace at ground level. A rath (MA022-070----) is located in the valley c. 100m to NE.
