What is recorded here

On a rise in undulating pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by fragmentary remains of a bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.4-2.2m; H 0.2-0.4m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse, which has since been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable. The ground level rises appreciably from the perimeter towards the centre of the interior. Deciduous trees are growing on the bank. Possibly a rath that was adapted and reused as a tree-ring in relatively modern times. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
