What is recorded here

Indicated is a worn earthen ring in Kerry pasture where a hidden spring still runs north to south through the middle. Cattle graze around its low banks, but the water remembers the old shape and keeps the fort alive beneath the grass.

In pasture, on a gentle SW-facing slope. An oval area (40m N-S; c. 33m E-W) defined by a low severely eroded earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m) N-S and by a more substantial earthen bank, which is incorporated into the field boundary, S-N. There are gaps at NNE (Wth 3m) and S (Wth 2.5m). The interior slopes down to the SW. According to local information, a natural spring flows from N to S through the rath. Some trees line the edge of the interior. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m), at the junction of four fields.
