Visit Notes

Monday, 3rd June 2002

I didn't actually go over to this rath but took the photo because it struck such an imposing figure on the skyline. Its banks look to be 1.5m tall and its diameter somewhere around 30m.

It seems to be in excellent condition and I think warrants a proper visit in the future if I'm passing.
