What is recorded here

One clochan in Cill Fhaoláin still holds its shape inside a larger ring, its corbelled stones meeting beneath flat slabs not far above the floor. It sits on the western slopes of the Brandon mountain range, tucked into the SE side of a valley bounded by Ballysitteragh and Knocknahoran. The chamber is small enough for a few people, yet its walls rise from a much wider ancient ground.

Roughly circular univallate rath KE043-158---- is situated on the W slopes of the Brandon mountain range, on the SE side of the valley which is bounded to N by Ballysitteragh mountain and to S by Knocknahoran.

The upper 3 courses of the walls are corbelled inwards and the chamber is roofed by large flat slabs at a height of 1.4m above the floor.
