What is recorded here

According to O'Kelly (1969, 8) the rath of Doorath was located, 'on the now wooded hillpoint at 550' overlooking BallyKeeffe Hill quarry, where Johnnie Murphy maintained he used to hear the fairy fiddle music'. The enclosure is not visible on satellite imagery (Digitalglobe and Google Earth, viewed 26 May 2021) in the area N of Ballykeefe Wood. The precise location of the enclosure is unknown.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KK022-035
