What is recorded here

No fairies are recorded there, though the false name still leads people to expect a trap or a gift. The earth itself makes the boundary: a shallow circular bank, concave inside, with a possible entrance at the south and a buried passage or hut shadow in the northwest. Cattle and conifers have softened it, but the shape remains clear enough to walk around and imagine the lives that turned it into a home.

In pasture, on the break of a W-facing slope. A circular area (31m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (ext. H 1.5m) which has a gentle inward slope. The bank, which is planted with coniferous trees, is slightly damaged in places by cattle. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2.5m) at S. A depression, covered by overgrowth, along the SE arc may be the remains of a shallow fosse. The interior is concave. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (KE058-099001-) and a possible hut site (KE058-099002-) in the NW quadrant. This is probably the rath mentioned in the 1840s as being a 'little N.W. of Ballynamaanagh House' (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 5).
