What is recorded here

In gently undulating average pasture, located on a rise. It is located close to the SW boundary of the townland. This rath is named ‘Cullahoof Fort’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a raised oval area (c. 25m NW–SE; c. 27.7mm NE–SW) defined by a scarp (Wth slope 2m; H 1.4m at SW). The scarp is well defined at NE and at S–SW, but elsewhere is low and degraded, with a broadly slumped external slope. At NE the scarp is topped with a grass-covered rise (L 4m; Wth 3.9m; H 0.75m) of earth and stones, which appear to be the result of disturbance or field clearance, rather than remnants of an original bank. There is a gentle slope down from NW to SE in the SE half of the interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 May 2019
