What is recorded here
Mnemo recorded a circular enclosure, perhaps twenty metres across, inside Castlefarm. The earth has swallowed the rath, leaving no ridge for hands to touch. What remains is a hidden room in the landscape, waiting for someone to stop measuring and listen.
In a farmyard. The possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1897 OS 6-inch map.
