In level pasture, c. 30m to the N of a tributary of the Slaheny River and overlooking the valley of the Slaheny River to the E. This rath is indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. A trackway bisects it on the 1895 OS 6-inch map; this is now the NE-SW road connecting Glanlough to the Kilgarvan road. In the 1930s Capt. D. B. O'Connell noted that the road to Gurteens ran through this possible rath and that part of it could be seen as 'a half circle on the north side of the road, and part has fallen away with the cliff on the south side' (KAS). There are no visible remains of this rath. There is a possible souterrain (KE094-023001-) in its interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011

In a levelled rath (KE094-023----). According to local information, the entrance to an underground passage or tunnel, which extended in a NE direction, was closed up. The NE direction of the passage suggests that it is underneath the S half of the rath. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain and the area is densely covered with overgrowth. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

In rough pasture, on a N-facing slope, overlooking the Glashagoruv River to the N. Indicated as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 18m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map and on the 1895 OS 6-inch map the enclosing element survives SSE-NE incorporated into the field boundary system. The remains comprise an arc of rough drystone wall (L 22m; T 1.2m; ext. H 1.5m) NW-NE. The interior, which slopes down to the N, is on the same level as the top of the drystone wall. Loose stones from the outer flank of the wall are scattered on the tree-covered downslope. The cashel has been damaged and some of it levelled during land reclamation.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
