What is recorded here

Some 150m to the SW of a cashel (GA097-063----). Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 34m) defined by a scarp. A field wall cuts through the monument at NE and SE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the E of it. Some exposed limestone flagstones within the interior may be the roof lintels of a possible souterrain (GA097-064001-) or else natural bedrock.
