What is recorded here
Indicated is a levelled rath in County Mayo pasture, still marking a low rise that faces the confluence of the Pollagh, Glore and Gweestion Rivers. Its earth and stone edge curves slightly across grass, partly hidden by a field fence and one hawthorn at the southeast. The shape is small enough to walk around in minutes, yet it stands where the land opens to water and distance.
In pasture, located on a low rise with a gentle slope to W. Good views, especially to W towards the confluence of the Pollagh and Glore Rivers with the Gweestion River.
This rath is shown as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; a penannular, hachured area (diam. 25-30m), open to N, is shown on the 1931 edition.
It has been levelled. The semi-circular arc (diam. c. 24m) of a levelled scarp can be traced S–NW; it is most distinct at NW (H 0.6m) where it mergers with a field fence of earth and stone, which curves very slightly NNW–NNE. A single hawthorn tree stand on the perimeter at SE
