What is recorded here

Situated on a level low-lying landscape. In July 2018 a drone-mounted camera operated by Páid Bates (Skypix Aerial Works) captured a perfect image of rath (WX032-045----) with another circular enclosure (diam. c. 35-40m) defined by a single fosse feature visible just to the SW, on the other side of a now removed field bank, the two drains of which are visible on the image. This enclosure has no visible entrance gap but the perimeter was incorporated the field bank NW-NE, and the field bank changed direction slightly here.
