On a low but prominent hill in pasture, overlooking Killeen Lough c. 320m to the SW. Depicted on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a rectangular enclosure named ‘Castle’ and ‘Bawn’ (LF010-029002-). The monument has been levelled and, apart from large quantities of loose stone on the hill from SW–W–N, no visible surface trace survives. A rectangular area (6.3m NE–SW; 2.2m NW–SE), which is c. 0.2m lower than the external ground level, was noted c. 6m to the SE of the highest point of the hill. Its NE and NW sides are well defined but only the outline of the SE and SW sides are identifiable. It is unclear whether this feature is associated with the castle or bawn or whether it is the result of quarrying. Compiled by: Patrick F.

On a SSW-facing slope in pasture. A raised subcircular area (46m E-W; 42m N-S) enclosed from ENE-E-SE and at SW and NW by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5-5.7m; H 0.5-0.6m). Elsewhere the defining element is a scarp (H 0.7-1.9m). An external fosse (Wth 5.7-7.7m; D 0.5-0.6m) is evident from WNW-NW and from ENE-E-S. A break (Wth 4.5m) in the bank at ESE marks the original entrance. The rath is divided into unequal portions by a NE-SW field boundary. Compiled by: Patrick F.
