What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that this rath was enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. It is largely levelled. Extant remains comprise a raised oval area (c. 37m NW-SE; c. 32m NE-SW) defined by a low scarp (H 0.1-0.2m). From SW-W-WNW it is truncated by a NW-SE field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
