Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

In pasture, located on the W end of a knoll, with a fall of ground to N giving very good views in all directions. The Gweestion River is 140m to N. Roughly circular, raised area (diam. c. 22m NW–SE) defined by an earthen bank/scarp (Wth c. 3-3.5m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 1.55m at N, 1.4m at S) with a low internal lip. Two narrow linear gullies or trenches (Wth 0.6-0.8m; D 0.2m), set 2m apart, extend across the interior on a NNE–SSW axis; they appear to be relatively recent in date and their function is unclear. The rath is engulfed in blackthorn and brambles which makes examination difficult. There are raths (MA 071-012----; MA071-015----MA071-013----; MA071-015----; MA071-017----) 200m to NW, 190m to SW, 240m to S and 240m to E, respectively.
