What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rahard West is a rath in County Kilkenny, Ireland. The Archaeological Survey of Ireland has not uploaded its information to The Historic Environment Viewer. The Archive Unit at The Custom House, Dublin 1 holds available research material and opens Fridays from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm. NMarchive@housing.gov.ie receives appointment requests. Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage owns that contact. The earth ring may have marked a home, a boundary or a excluded place. Its shape still excludes ordinary certainty.
