What is recorded here

In pasture, located on top of a low ridge, at the break of slope on the SE side. Good views, particularly extensive to S–SW and N. Another rath (MA092-003----) is located c. 150m to W along the spine of the same ridge. A slightly raised circular area (29.6m N–S; 29.5m E–W) defined NE–S by a scarp (H 1.8m; Wth slope 2m), and at SSW–NNE by a low bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.9m) which is adapted to serve as a field fence and is topped by a post and wire fence. The interior is level and grassy. The entrance may have been to NNE where there is a gap (Wth 2m) in the scarp. The perimeter is somewhat degraded by farm stock, and has a moderate covering of thorn bushes and gorse.
