What is recorded here

Geophysical survey within Rath na Rí and W of the Forradh (ME031-033010-) identified at least six arcs of geophysical anomalies (Newman 1977, 88, figs 24, 25), but the evidence is too tenuous at the moment to conclusively identify all the individual monuments. This is described as a possible concentration of three or four pits in a limited area (diam. c. 20m) indicated by positive magnetic anomalies (ibid. 332). Location: (691848, 759685) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 2 November 2021

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
