What is recorded here

Indicated is a hidden rath on a Mayo rise, marked only by a faint scarp and a stream at its base. It appeared on the 1838 map as a circular embankment, then vanished from later maps, suggesting people stopped seeing or valuing its boundary. The land may have swallowed the memory of the enclosure while the slope and water kept the shape alive.

In pasture, encompassing the top of a prominent rise, with a stream at the base of the slope to NE. This rath is shown as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. 20-25m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. The barely discernible outline of an oval enclosure (c. 20m E–W; c. 25m N–S) is defined by traces of a scarp at NE−S, merging with the natural slope. A field boundary on an E−W axis crosses the N end. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 August 2021
