What is recorded here
Magic breathes through Killeenhugh’s broken ring, where a road cut the ancient earth and a hidden passage still waits beneath the southern grass. The fairies never left; they merely stopped building walls tall enough for human eyes to measure. What remains is not ruin but invitation, a thin membrane between ordinary pasture and the living dream beneath it.
In undulating pastureland. This very poorly preserved rath (estimated diam. 22m) is defined by a very low bank (Wth 1.6m; H 0.35m) from SE to SW with another short stretch at WNW. A road cuts through it from N to SE and no visible surface trace of it survives to the NE of the road. A NE-SW running field wall cuts through it at W. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA113-131001-) in the S sector of the interior.
