What is recorded here

On the summit of a low hill that overlooks a turlough to the W. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (31m NE-SW; 28.9m NW-SE) defined by three grassed-over banks of earth and stone and a fosse. The inner bank survives all round. The fosse and middle bank are visible from SE through W to NE. The third bank is evident further downslope; it extends from the middle bank at SW and is visible through W to N. A causewayed entrance gap (Wth 2.4m) at SSE may be original.
