What is recorded here
No visible wall remains at Coolcorcoran, yet a 1971 aerial photograph revealed a circular enclosure about twenty metres across beside the cemetery. The disappeared rath may have stood there long enough to shape the land before pasture and forgetting erased it from ordinary sight.
In level pasture, to the E of a cemetery. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), with a possible external fosse N-E, is visible in an aerial photograph (CUCAP, BGK 2) taken in 1971.
