What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of the Verschoyles Hill. A ring- barrow shown on the 1843 OS 6-inch map as a hachured enclosure (diam. c. 37m). It was described by Ua Broin (1957, 43) as a low rath, enclosing a very small circle somewhat higher than the outer one and close to the S side of the latter. The site was ploughed and planted with trees in 1965 (Healy 1975, 1-19). This area is referred to in the OS Letters (1837) as 'Lauree' or 'Lathair na Riogh' on Saggart Hill (O'Flanagan 1927, 22).
