What is recorded here

On a low but prominent rise in otherwise low-lying pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation ‘Fort’ on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 28m) defined by a scarp with an external fosse and a low outer bank. The original entrance was not recognisable. The rath is not visible at ground level. A plantation of coniferous trees is established here. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 22 November 2011
