What is recorded here

Situated on moderate S-facing lower slopes of Keelogyboy Mountain in upland pasture. Raised circular area (dims. 20m N-S; 19m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.7m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From WSW-WNW a N-S orientated drystone field wall lies along the line of a removed portion of the rath bank. An E-W orientated drystone wall links to the N-S wall 4m to the NW of the rath and abuts the external side of the rath bank NNW-NNE. The area between the intersection of the two walls and the bank of the rath has been infilled with earth and stone. A break (Wth 1.6m) in the bank at S marks the position of the original entrance.
