What is recorded here

Natural terracing and no archaeological features visible. A previous report describes the site as a rath consisting of a 'circular area (LA035-026001-) surrounded by a very low earthen bank with no trace of a possible fosse. The maximum height of the bank is 0.35m. The diameter is 31.5m. Two small, low banked earthen enclosures abutt the rath on the east and south-west. The larger of the two, on the east measures 24.0m by 11.40m and the bank height is 0.30m. The smaller enclosure measures 13.3mm by 8.50m and has a similar bank height. Projecting from the end of this enclosure is a further bank running off in a south-westerly direction for approximately 10m before it fades out; this is very low, being no more than 0.24m high. The land to the south-east, south and south-west of this complex is very uneven and much disturbed, so that while there might be more to the field system, it cannot be determined with any confidence' (Candon 1987, 30).
