In pasture, on an E-facing slope, with views N to Farranfore. A circular area (35m N-S; 33.5m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 5.2m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 1.8m) of earth and stone, and by the remnants of an external fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.3m) NW-N and ESE-SW. Field-clearance debris, piled intermittently on the overgrown bank, and against the internal and external faces of the bank, may have distorted and obscured the original enclosing elements. The interior slopes down to the E. Breaks in the bank at SW (Wth 4.2m) and at NE (Wth 3.5m), respectively, allow machinery access to the interior. There is a possible fulacht fia (KE048-057002-) in the interior. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

In pasture, on an E-facing slope, with views N over Farranfore. Burnt material was noted in the interior of the rath (KE048-057001-) in 1986 (Castleisland District Archaeological Survey).

This rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1846 and 1897 OS 6-inch maps. It is now evident as the heavily overgrown and truncated remains of a trivallate rath. The enclosing elements survive mainly along the W arc. The inner bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.4m) is visible SW-NW. There is an intervening fosse (Wth 3.2m) SW-NW. A middle earthen bank (Wth 3.05m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2.6m), an outer fosse (Wth 1.7m) and an outer earthen bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.9m) are evident WSW-WNW. The level interior is inaccessible. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

In pasture, immediately to the S of a house. A circular area (27m E-W; 25.5m N-S) defined by a bank (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.3m) which is covered in overgrowth N-S. The interior slopes down to the E. Along the S arc, the bank slopes down externally to a concrete yard.

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.
