What is recorded here
Maulagh and Derrymacar, killorglin, Fossa and Kilgarvan are scattered across a small corner of Ireland. Some are townlands, some are villages, and some are landmarks within them. They belong to the same region, but they are not one place.
In pasture, c. 100m S of the Killorglin-Fossa road. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) is visible as a shadow site in an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2114) taken in 1989. This rath is not visible at ground level. In the 1930s Capt. D. B. O'Connell noted that the rath was overgrown by trees and laurels but that two 'rings' could still be traced (SMR file). This suggests that the rath was bivallate.
