What is recorded here

In lowlying wet pasture, located at the base of the SW-facing slope of a hillock, on top of which a rath (MA080-037----) is located. There is another rath (MA080-025----) c. 130m to NW. A slight mound (3m NW-SE; c. 1m NE–SW) borders the E side of a straight NW−SE field drain (Wth 2m; D 1.2m). Angular stone fragments in black soil are visible in both section faces of the drain. It may be the remnants of a fulacht fia cut through by the drain. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 December 2021
