What is recorded here

Knockasarnet holds a horseshoe of burnt stone, seventeen metres wide and buried under dense green growth. The mound faces west on a marshy slope, waiting for water and heat rather than admiration. A rath sits seventy metres east, suggesting people lived nearby and used the pit for cooking, cleaning or ritual. The bog has taken most of the evidence, but the shape remains clear enough to imagine hands moving stones and steam rising into the air.

In rough marshy pasture, on a N-facing slope. A roughly horseshoe-shaped mound (c. 17m E-W; c. 15m N-S; H 1.1m) of burnt material protrudes above the surface of the surrounding bog and is almost totally obscured by dense overgrowth. The opening faces W. Some burnt material is exposed in the N portion of the mound. A rath (KE058-093----) lies c. 70m to the E.
