Location on a level area with a slight drop of ground at N, in lowlying, damp, rush-grown pasture, in the valley of the Heathfield River; overlooked in the middle distance at E and W by a series of low hills, with distant views of the sea at NNW. This rath consists of a broadly oval area (47m N−S; c. 40m E−W) defined by the levelled remnants of two banks (Wth 2-3m) with a broad, flat intervening fosse (Wth 6m). It is sited to take advantage of a natural drop in ground level, which is utilised to enhance the enclosing banks at NW−N. The rath has been partly levelled in the past so that the enclosing elements are low and poorly defined, and in parts distinguished merely by differential vegetation growth. A N−S field ditch (Wth 1.5-2m at top, 1m at base; D 0.6m) cuts across the E edge of the rath, clipping the external slope of the inner bank and cutting through the fosse. Rushes cover much of the interior, and dense gorse and scrub conceal the perimeter at NE−E. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 June 2017

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
