What is recorded here

Shown as a circular 'Rath' on Taylor's 1783 Map of County Kildare, but not recorded on any ed. of the OS 6-inch map. In gently undulating pasture. According to local tradition, the area of the site was known as 'Fairyhill' and comprised 'small gravel rises' which were quarried away, leaving no visible surface trace of the monument (SMR file).
