What is recorded here
Magic and destiny are in Coollick. The area is marked by a rath and two possible hut sites. One sits in the southeast quadrant of the rath. The other is 6.5m to the west. Both are defined by low earth and stone banks. The banks are overgrown and ruined. They may have sheltered people who watched the sky, tended animals or waited for visitors. They may have belonged to a family, a hermit or a passing trader. The stones no longer speak, but the shape remains. Two small circles on the ground suggest a place where life was lived simply and bravely.
Within the SE quadrant of a rath (KE058-044----). The remains of a possible hut defined by a low, earth and stone bank. The bank is overgrown and in a ruined condition. There is another possible hut site (KE058-044001-) 6.5m to the W.
