What is recorded here

In pasture, on the NW-facing slopes of Knocknabro. This rath is indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1846 and 1894 OS 6-inch maps. Field-clearance rubble, obscured by overgrowth, is piled haphazardly in this area. A short stretch of a N-S earthen bank (Wth 4.25m; H at W 0.6m; H at E 0.7m), covered with overgrowth, may be part of the enclosing element of the rath.
