What is recorded here

In pasture, located on the top of a rise, which provides good views over the surrounding undulating terrain of mixed pasture and bog. Slightly raised circular area (25.6m N–S; 25m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) of earth and stone. The bank is best preserved at N where it has been protected from erosion by an ENE–WSW field/property boundary, which abuts the external face of the bank. Elsewhere the bank is rather low and degraded. Remnants of a rough stone kerb are evident on the inner face of the bank at W. The interior is level, with traces of cultivation ridges on a NW–SE axis. There is an opening into a souterrain (MA038-022002-) in the SW quadrant, and a slight surface depression to W of centre may also be indicative of the souterrain. The boundary fences of residential properties lie immediately to E and S of the rath. There is another rath (MA038-024----) 130m to SSE. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 24 July 2019
