What is recorded here

Enclosure in Rahard stands on an east-facing crest where a small stream begins, holding a raised rath at the northeast corner of a wide rectangular platform. The platform may have served as a bailey or annexe for the rath, while a relict field bank still cuts across both, marking older boundaries that outlasted their makers.
Located at the E-facing crest of a slope and at the headwaters of a small E-W stream. The raised rath (ME009-036----), which could be described as a motte, is at the NE angle of a rectangular grass-covered platform (dims c. 40-70m m ENE-WSW; c. 70m NNW-SSE) defined by scarps and fosses. This could serve as an annexe for the rath or as a bailey. It is crossed by an ENE-WSW relict field bank that also crosses the interior of the rath and extends off to the WSW of this enclosure.
