Enclosure

What is recorded here

According to O'Kelly (1969, 52) in the townland of Castlemarket there is 'a rath in a field called the Ráithín lia, the little grey rath, where ancient silver coins were unearthed'. This monument (also listed as KK001-008----) is unlocated within the townland. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 10 August 2015
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath) known as Ráithín lia, or the little grey rath, in the townland of Castlemarket, is likely of early-medieval origin. It is associated with the discovery of ancient silver coins and may be linked to local folklore surrounding hidden treasure or otherworldly beings.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
