What is recorded here

On a low hillock in rolling pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised subcircular area (c. 45m NW-SE; c. 44m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with an external fosse. The original entrance may have been either at NNE or NNW. At the centre of the interior was an area of outcropping rock. The rath is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F.
