What is recorded here
House in Carrowkibbock Upper sticks out from the rath’s inner bank, like a late guest squeezing onto an already full bench. You’d expect the whole fort to shuffle round and say, ‘Are you in now?’
In the NW quadrant of a rath (MA014-002001-). This house consists of a rectangular area (4.5m ENE-WSW; 3.2m NNW-SSE) defined by a low heather-clad, bank of peat, earth and stone, with a possible entrance at WSW. It projects into the rath interior from the inner face of enclosing bank at NNW.
From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MA014-002009
