What is recorded here

In pasture, on a slight S-facing slope. The rath is inaccessible due to dense overgrowth. An overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.7m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.1m) are visible along the N arc where the overgrowth is less dense. The rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map abutted by a NNW-SSE field boundary at W. On the 1893 OS 6-inch map the field boundary at W is depicted as truncating the SW arc of the rath. A large bivallate rath, named 'Lismore' (KE039-088001-), lies c. 80m to the ENE.
