What is recorded here
One small rath belongs to Scanlansland, yet no boundary appears where it should be. That absence turns the claim into a trap for the imagination: either the name shifted, the field changed, or the fort refused to be measured. A forgotten house may still stand beneath grass, waiting for someone honest enough to stop believing certainty and watch the land return what it withheld.
According to O'Kelly (1969, 42), there is 'one small rath' in Scanlansland townland. There is no indication of an enclosure in this townland on the 1st (1839) OS 6-inch map or subsequent 1947 revision. If O'Kelly's information is correct, the 'rath' is not located within the townland.
