What is recorded here
Cahercrea East holds a worn oval bank, forty metres long and thirty wide, tilted on an east-facing slope where a field boundary now cuts through its northern edge. The rath has lost much of its shape, yet the remaining curve suggests a place set apart for living, hiding, or remembering long before the boundary drew its line. What is missing has not stopped the land from keeping the outline.
On an E-facing slope. Poorly preserved oval rath (c. 40m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a bank. A field boundary cuts through the monument at NW and NE.
