What is recorded here
Ten metres from the rath, a six-metre ditch circles the ridge like a forgotten compass mark. It hides from ordinary eyes and appears only when modern survey tools scrape the grass clean. The land belonged to Corbally House, where people walked past that small circle for generations without knowing it was still drawing itself beneath their feet.
Situated on a WNW-ESE section of a low ridge and c. 10m NW of rath (ME028-069----) on land that was once part of the demesne of Corbally House. A small circular feature (diam. c. 6m) defined by a slight fosse SE-W-NW is visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018.
