What is recorded here

In rolling pasture, located on a rise. There is a stream/drain c. 230m to E. This monument, which was probably a rath, is shown on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. 20-25m), named ‘Lisheenpastia’. It has been levelled. A low, flat-topped rise (c. 16m N–S; c. 12m E–W) is evident at the location, defined by a broadly slumped slope, with the most pronounced fall of ground on the W side. According to local tradition, it was used as a children’s burial ground (MA038-018002-). There is another possible rath (MA038-019001-) and children’s burial ground (MA018-019002-) 180m to SSE, and a possible rath (MA038-020----) is located c. 190m to SE.
