What is recorded here

On a gentle W-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 25m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 1.5-3m; int. H 0.1-0.7m; ext. H 0.4-1m) NW-E-SW and a scarp (H 0.5m) elsewhere. The bank is revetted internally and externally by upright stones and is surmounted by the foundations of a drystone wall (Wth 1-1.5m). There are traces of an outer fosse (Wth of top 5m; D 0.3-0.4m) at NE, but there is no visible entrance. Rath (RO006-106----) is c. 70m to the E, and cashel (RO006-104----) is c. 200m to the W.
