What is recorded here

On the E-facing slope of a hill in pasture. Higher up the hill is an area of blanket bog. A report in 1977 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone. There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance was not recognisable. A possible house site (LF019-067002-) was noted in the NW quadrant of the interior. When revisited in 1998 the rath was densely overgrown with vegetation rendering inspection impossible.
