What is recorded here

In pasture, on a gentle W-facing slope. A circular area (c. 36m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.9m) which has internal stone-facing along the SE arc. A possible external fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 0.65m) is evident NE-SE. A drystone wall (T 1m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 0.4m), which incorporates large boulders, skirts the fosse externally NE-SE. The bank is denuded in places. Some rocks and boulders from field clearance have been dumped along the bank W-NE, externally. The level interior is covered with trees and undergrowth. Another rath (KE058-039----) lies c. 200m to the E. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
