The example at Lavally in County Clare is one such site, quiet and largely undocumented in any publicly accessible form.

A rath, to use the Irish term, is a circular enclosure defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, built during the early medieval period, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. They functioned primarily as farmsteads, the bank and ditch offering a degree of protection for livestock as much as for people. Clare is particularly well supplied with them, the county's landscape shaped in no small part by centuries of this dispersed, enclosed settlement pattern. The Lavally rath sits within that broader tradition, though without detailed excavation records in the public domain, the specifics of its construction, its occupants, or its condition remain difficult to establish with any confidence.
