What is recorded here

In rough pastureland, almost in a hollow c. 80m to the S of a rath (GA105-080----). There is a pond c. 40m to the SSE. Aerial reconnaissance in November 1987 (ASGAP 375:74) revealed this small oval enclosure (21m N-S; 16.5m E-W) which is defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.9m) best preserved from NE through S to W. The interior slopes gently to the S and a circular stone-filled hollow (diam. 5m) is visible towards its centre.
