What is recorded here
On rocky ground to NE of Rathbarry Castle (CO143-074002-). Central mound (diam. c. 8m; H 0.6m) surrounded by fosse (D 0.2m) with external bank (H 0.6m) from SW->SE. Much disturbance from SE->SW. Gap in bank at ESE. Identified as remains of circular tower associated with Rathbarry Castle by Gillman (1895, 5) but this is very unlikely.
From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CO143-075
