What is recorded here

Kilcreevanty holds a subcircular rath near a ridge summit, flanked by bogland and the River Clare. Its low bank and external fosse remain visible, while a scarp encloses most of the circle and a modern causeway at the southeast may mark the original entrance. The fort stands at the edge of open water and wet earth, where human hands shaped a small defensible place in a hostile landscape.
