What is recorded here

In pasture, on a NE-facing slope. A circular area (36m NE-SW; 34m NW-SE) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.7m) E-NW and by a scarp (ext. H 1.5m) with an external lip (int. H 0.35m) NW-E. Trees grow along the bank. The SW half of the interior is level while the NE half slopes downwards. This may be the rath mentioned in the 1940s as being 'situated at Rathcommane' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry).
