A small early-medieval ringfort (rath) located on a high east-facing slope, likely dating to between the 5th and 10th centuries. No specific folklore is recorded for this site, though its name "Caherbullog" may derive from "cathair" (fort) and a personal or territorial name, suggesting local historical significance.
