In pasture on the summit of a hill. Hachured on both the first (1840) and Cassini (1916) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Classified as an enclosure in the RMP (1996). This is a heavily overgrown subcircular bivallate rath (diam. c. 45m). Where accessible (at S, NW and N) the enclosing elements consist of a round-topped inner earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; ext. H 1.8-2.1m; int. H 0.4m), the remains of an outer bank (at S only – Wth 2m; H 0.1m) and an intervening fosse (Wth 3.1-3.8m; ext. D 0.1m). At NNW, a short length (c. 1m) of upright stones in the inner bank suggests a revetment. While no trace of an original entrance was visible in the dense overgrowth, the OS 25-inch plan (1897) records opposing gaps in the inner bank (est. Wth c. 4m) and outer bank (est. Wth c. 7.5m) at SE. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Eve Campbell Date of upload: 7-10-2025
