What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a ridge. Slightly raised, circular area (30m E–W; 30.6m N–S) defined by a bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m at N, 0.3m at S; ext. H 1.2m at N, 1.9m at S) of earth and stone. The bank is best preserved on the W–SW. Stones protrude from the top and sides in parts on the S arc, and are more numerous on the N arc, where the bank has been incorporated into later field fences which respect the curve of the rath. The bank is noticeably lower at the E–ESE, possibly the location of an original entrance. There is a slight slope down from centre to S in the interior. The perimeter is ringed with hawthorn, blackthorn and brambles, with some encroachment on the grassy interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 31 May 2021
