Caherereganagh/Cathair Chraobhach: This site is incorrectly positioned on the first edition of the OS map, where it is indicated as a circular enclosure. It is located on a ledge of high ground, W of the Coomnahorna river, overlooking Darrynane Bay to SW. The site survives as an ill-defined, subcircular mound which is covered in dense vegetation. Measuring 12.6m N-S x 12m E-W in diameter, it rises 1.5m above surrounding ground level. It is composed of earth, gravel, a substantial quantity of small stone and some large boulders. Some of the latter may represent field clearance. An inconspicuous opening on the mound's NE side, marked by a roofing lintel, leads into a Man-made underground passage passage (KE106-067001-), titled 'Cave' on the OS maps, that appears to extend to W. The passage is blocked by an accumulation of modern domestic debris. Cork University Press (1996), no. 715.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KE106-067
