What is recorded here

In level, low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 19.2m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.7m; H 0.5m max.), an intervening fosse (Wth 4.1m; D 1.1m) and a wide low outer bank (Wth 7.2m; H 0.5m). The rath is divided into unequal portions by a ENE–WSW field bank and drain. The smaller portion, to the SSE, has been levelled and only its outline is identifiable. A break (Wth 3.25m) in the banks at ENE with an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 18 January 2012
