What is recorded here
Cahermore holds a broken oval of earth and stone at the edge of a small pasture spur. The bank has surrendered much of its shape, yet it still marks a place where people stood apart from the ordinary field. Maybe a family lived there, raised children, and vanished into the wider world. The grass has eaten the truth, but the ring remains large enough to imagine inside.
At SW end of a small spur in pastureland. Poorly preserved oval rath (20.2m E-W; 13.8m N-S) defined by a degraded bank of earth and stone.
