What is recorded here
Kilcock Lower holds a univallate rath immediately south of Lynch's house, where a bank of earth and stone still encloses pastureland. Inside the northern sector sits a smaller mound, measuring 1.8 by 2.4 metres, perhaps marking a buried chamber or forgotten shrine. The distinction between a common mound and a defended rath remains blurred, inviting wonder about whether people lived there, worshipped there or simply shaped the land for reasons now lost.
Situated immediately S of Lynch's house on pastureland, univallate rath KE005-028---- is enclosed by a bank of earth and stone morphology.
On the interior side of the N sector is a small mound (KE005-028002-), 1.8m x 2.4m externally.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 286. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
