What is recorded here

On a gentle E-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. 27m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone at N. At NE and E the defining element was a scarp and at S and W the enclosing element had been levelled. The original entrance was not recognisable. The rath has since been completely levelled and it is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 23 November 2011
