What is recorded here

On a slight rise in an undulating landscape. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 48.2m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth of base 4.6-5.4m; Wth of top 1m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4-1.8m) and a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 5.2-6.5m; Wth of base 2m; D 0.5-0.7m) S-W-NE, but the perimeter is circumscribed by a field bank and hedge NW-NE. The monument is truncated by a NE-SW field wall and townland boundary with Grange at SE and the perimeter is visible as a low scarp here. However, NW of the townland boundary the ground had been cleared back (Wth 12m) and the material added to the centre forming a low D-shaped and grass-covered platform (dims 22m NE-SW; 12m NW-SE; H 0.2m normally to 0.8m at SE). There is an entrance (Wth 3.4m) at S which is probably modern. Rath (RO044-073----) is c. 190m to the SW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
