What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on a SW-facing slope with views to Mangerton Mountain. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) is visible on an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2122-3) taken in 1989. It is not visible at ground level due to dense overgrowth of ferns; the ground in the area of the possible rath is uneven. A low bank was evident along the W arc during a subsequent site inspection (Quinn 2002).
