This is probably the rath known as 'Horgan's fort' which was inspected in the 1940s and which had a 'great souterrain [KE047-067001-] in the enclosing rings' (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club 1948, vol. 2, 797). Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

• KE047-078 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, towards the top of a rise. A trapezoidal area (28m E-W; 18m N-S), which tapers toward the W, is defined by a linear earthen bank (Wth 2.56m; int. H 0.36m; ext. H 0.63m) on the E side, by a linear scarp (H 1.55m) on the S and W sides and by a linear field boundary (L 34m) on the N side. The interior slopes slightly down to the E and the surface becomes uneven towards the W. The burial ground is covered with overgrowth. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a rectangular area (c. 70m E-W; c. 28m N-S) and on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a rectangular area (c. 40m E-W; c. 25m N-S). According to local information, unbaptised babies were buried here. This is probably the 'killeen' referred to by Crawford (1912, 235) as being '2 miles S.E. of Castlemain station' and in which was a 'defaced ogham pillar' (KE047-078001-).

• KE047-078001 Ogham stone
  Description

  According to Crawford (1912, 235), a defaced ogham pillar '4 ft. high...carved with a rude cross, in a circle' was situated 'in a killeen' [probably KE047-078----] 2 miles SE of Castlemaine station. Macalister (1902, 50) recorded that Windele discovered an inscription on the stone which read 'COVTET'. The 'greater part of the original surface' was destroyed by fire, leaving only the upper portion which 'displays a few broad and very shallow grooves, apparently artificial' (ibid.). There are no visible remains of this ogham stone. Another possible ogham stone (KE047-068----) is c. 750m to the S.
