What is recorded here

Not depicted on any OS map, this rath is visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 274-5), and is situated on the summit of a NW-SE ridge. It is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 35.6m NNW-SSE; 33m ENE-WSW) defined by a scarp (H 1.5-1.65m), with a slight fosse (Wth of top 6-6.6m; D 0.1m) NE-ESE which is visible as a wet area NW-NE. There is no identifiable original entrance, but the monument was planted with trees, now removed, and is overlain by a NW-SE avenue. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
