What is recorded here

Situated at the E side of the top of a NW-SE ridge. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8-3m; int. H 0.1m at NE, 0.65m at SW; ext. H 1.2m at NE; 0.6m at SW). The rath straddles a natural slope which results in a more pronounced external slope to the bank at NE. From ENE-S, the bank is truncated by a NE-SW field boundary. There is a break (Wth. 2m) in bank at S but it does not appear to be the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
