What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. This is the easternmost of two conjoined raths (the other is SL008-144----) which abut each other on an E-W alignment. This rath consists of a slightly raised circular area (diam. 18m) enclosed by a broad, low earthen bank (Wth 7.1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m). The interior is slightly dished, and slopes down slightly to SSE. At W the enclosing bank abuts the external bank of the second rath (SL008-144----).
