What is recorded here
Eight metres of forgotten ditch circles the boy's castle, hiding beneath grass and time.
Geophysical survey within Rath na Rí and W of the Forradh (ME031-033010-) identified at least six arcs of geophysical anomalies (Newman 1977, 88, figs 24, 25), but the evidence is too tenuous at the moment to conclusively identify all the individual monuments. This is described as a possible ring-ditch (diam. c. 8m) indicated by a subcircular low resistivity anomaly (ibid. 332).
