The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a rath (GA016-064----). FitzPatrick (2019, 24) noted segments of field banks on LiDAR imagery in the field to the N and S of the rath, and also in the field adjoining it to the E (see GA016-062002-). Field boundaries extending off the rath are also visible on the imagery at SW and NW, and another one, running E-W, extends off it at S. These may be part of a field system associated with the rath.
