  Description

  In pasture, close to the summit of a small rise. A roughly circular area (diam. c. 20m), outlined by a ring of rushes, may indicate the vestiges of the bank of a rath. The concave interior has a souterrain (KE059-003001-) in it. The rath is indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. A possible 'cursing stone' (KE059-003002-) is immediately to the NW. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
