What is recorded here

Cloonteen holds a subcircular rath thirty-three metres wide on a lonely rise, its earth bank still defining most of the circle while the south face has been quarried away. The southeast entrance remains open to the grassland, inviting people into a space where human hands shaped the soil long before modern memory. What was taken from the south may have been needed to build elsewhere, but the majority of the ring endures.

On a rise in otherwise level grassland. Subcircular rath (E-W 33m, N-S 28.6m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank survives from SSW to NW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The S sector of the monument has been quarried out. There is an entrance at SE.
