What is recorded here

The 40m earthen ringfort in Raheen Oughter is a children’s burial ground where the living once set boundaries for the dead. Its low bank has surrendered to bushes and field walls, leaving only a southern gap where the land still breathes. What looks like ruin may be a chamber where childhood returns to witness the world it left behind.

On a rise in undulating pastureland. Known locally as the liss, this circular rath (diam. 40m) is defined by a very poorly preserved bank (Wth at top 2m; overall Wth 4.1m; int. H ).2m; ext. H 0.7m) that is overgrown with bushes and surrounded by field walls except from S to SE. A children’s burial ground (GA105-176001-) is associated.
