What is recorded here
Indicated is a ruined circular rath on a south-facing Galway slope, its twenty-seven-metre boundary reduced to a shallow scarp in grassland. A buried chamber remains hidden inside the flat circle, waiting for rain or memory to reveal its shape. The fort has lost most of its wall, yet it still marks the edge between ordinary field and forgotten life.
On a S-facing slope in grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 27.8m) defined by a scarp. Within the interior is a CBG (GA059-007----)
