What is recorded here

In pasture, on the plateau of a low hill. This rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. It has been levelled though a vague trace of a slightly raised circular area (c. 36m N-S; c. 34m E-W) is visible. The interior slopes down to the SE. The landowner recalls that the rath had an outer fosse and he was told by his father that the rath was used as a children's burial ground (KE058-086001-).
