What is recorded here

On a low rise in pasture. Not indicated on any OS 6-inch map but a kink in a field boundary on the 1914 ed. may mirror the outline of its NNW sector. This rath has been largely levelled. Extant remains comprise a raised subcircular area (34m E-W; 31m N-S) defined from E-S-W by a low scarp (H 0.5-0.7m). Elsewhere the scarp has been substantially modified and incorporated into a field boundary. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
