What is recorded here

Situated on level summit of an E-W orientated ridge in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c.22m) enclosed by a broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.85m; int. H 0.3-0.5m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 4.65m; D 0.3m). From W-SE the bank is mostly denuded and difficult to trace being better preserved and consistent elsewhere. From ENE-NW the fosse is absent. A NNE-WSW orientated field boundary bank lies along the line of the fosse ENE-SE. Field boundary banks link to the bank of the rath at ENE, NE and SE. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is densely overgrown with thorn bushes. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
