What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken earthen ring on a Clare ridge, facing Liscannor Bay and the Dealagh River. Its bank has lost much of its height, and no entrance remains clear. The land has kept the shape while taking back the meaning, leaving a circle wide enough for memory but no longer for certainty.

In pasture on the crest of an E-W ridge c. 110m N of the SW-flowing Dealagh River, with clear views to N and across Liscannor Bay to S. Hachured on both the first (1840) and Cassini (1916) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Classified as an enclosure in the RMP (1996). A subcircular rath (diams. 34m N-S; 32.7m E-W) is defined by a poorly preserved inner earthen bank (Wth 1.15m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.65-1.15m), with surviving traces of an outer fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.1m) visible from NW-N-NE. The bank has several gaps, none obviously an original entrance, and has been reduced to a scarp (ext. H 0.7m) at SE and SW. The level interior is featureless. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Eve Campbell Date of upload: 7-10-2025
