What is recorded here

On a gentle SE-facing slope within a plantation of coniferous trees. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. From SSE-S-SW the enclosing elements and a portion of the interior had been removed. It was divided into three unequal portions by field boundaries. The original entrance was not recognisable. The area in the vicinity of the rath is densely overgrown with vegetation rendering access impossible. Although within the tree plantation, it is said to have survived relatively intact (local information). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
