What is recorded here
On a steep NW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 40m) is enclosed from NNW-N-SE by a substantial bank of earth and stone, which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. At its external base is a stream, which marks the townland boundary between Cartronageeragh and Farranyoogan townlands. The rest of the rath has been levelled and only its outline is identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable.
