What is recorded here

In improved pasture, located on a low rise. This possible rath is shown on the 1838 and 1919 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) incorporated at SW–N into later field boundaries, with the townland boundary coinciding with the NW arc. It has been levelled and there is no visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 December 2021

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
