What is recorded here

On the W-facing slope of a broad hill. D-shaped grass and rush-covered area (dims 29m E-W; 28m N-S) with straight sides at N and W defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-3m; int. H 0.2-0.5m; ext. H 0.5-1m) and fosse (Wth of top 4.6m; Wth of base 2.5m; ext. D 0.5m) on all sides except the N where there is a low scarp. There is no identifiable original entrance, but an outer bank (Wth c. 2.5m; ext. H 0.2m) SE-SW also circumscribes rath (RO028-090001-), which is immediately to the W. This monument may be an annexe to rath (RO028-090001-). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
