What is recorded here

In pasture, prominently sited on top of a steep-sided, N-S ridge. The rath straddles the E-W width of the ridge top. It consists of a raised, broadly oval area (diam. c. 35m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by a substantial gravelly, earthen bank (Wth c. 5m; int. H 1-1.4m; ext. H 2.5-3m) and enclosed by a fosse (Wth c. 3; D 0.7-1m), with remnants of a low, stony external bank (Wth 2-2.5m; ext. H 0.4-0.8m) best preserved at W-N. There is a broad break (Wth c. 8m) in the inner bank and fosse at ESE, most likely indicating the location of the original entrance. The perimeter of the rath is thickly ringed with hawthorn and hazel trees. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 August 2014
