What is recorded here

Situated on a slight E-facing slope in pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 19m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 5m; int. H 0.65m). Immediately outside the bank is a 4m wide level berm with an external bank (Wth 4.05m; int. H 0.75m) on its outer edge, and outside that an external fosse (Wth 4.8m; D 0.5m). The internal bank encloses the site on all sides. From NE-ENE, the external bank and the berm are absent. From WNW-ENE, the fosse is absent. The original entrance is not recognisable. A WSW-ENE orientated drystone field wall crosses the rath slightly to N of centre. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
