1. Plenty Parc Rath is a roughly oval enclosure, measuring about 76m north-east to south-west by 63m and set above a stream confluence to the east. OS County series (Pembroke. XXIII.6 1889) shows the enclosure to have been defined by a west-facing rampart and ditch, having an entrance on the north, with scarps elsewhere above steep natural slopes. The earthworks are said to have been bulldozed in about 1961.

2. Three prehistoric enclosures, one revealed by aerial photography, the others mapped by the Ordnance Survey, overlook Cartlett Brook just west of Walton East. These sites are Plenty Park Rath (304486), West Rath (304487) and the West Rath II enclosure (404497). The sites are described in Driver, T. 2007.
