A rath, the Irish term for a roughly circular earthen enclosure used as a farmstead during the early medieval period, once occupied an east-facing slope here. It is gone now, levelled at some point before or after the cartographers who recorded it moved on, leaving pasture where an earthwork once stood.

The only documentary evidence for the site comes from the 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, on which the enclosure appears as a hachured circle, the conventional marking used to indicate an earthen bank or raised boundary, with a diameter of approximately twenty-five metres. That is a modest size for a rath, consistent with a single-family farming enclosure of the kind that once numbered in the tens of thousands across Ireland. By the time any modern survey came to look for it on the ground, there was nothing to find. No bank, no ditch, no surface irregularity. The site has been fully levelled, absorbed into the working agricultural landscape around it.
