What is recorded here
Wolfhill holds a forgotten ringfort, listed only as an unlocated rath within the townland. That absence is the interesting part. A whole structure may have vanished under grass, plough or time while people still walked beside it. The land keeps more than survey markers admit.
Unlocated rath within townland mentioned in the History of the Queens County (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 184).
