The National Monuments Service's description
According to Doyle (1981), there is, ‘a field in Greenridge (near Brownstown and Sandfordscourt) called the “Rath field”. All this area is very flat and was once a marsh. There was once a rath there. It was removed about thirty years ago. It seems safe to assume that it was not a very big rath. This rath was near a stream’ (NMI files). The ‘rath’ is unlocated within the townland.
