What is recorded here

Overgrowth strangled the entrance, hiding a vast chamber where human breath may have echoed before the green took back the stone. The fort stands as a forgotten room, waiting for someone brave enough to push through the vines and discover what the land chose to keep secret.

In the 1940s a 'huge rath', which was 'impossible to explore due to overgrowth', was recorded at the summit of an earthen mound on the 'lands of Mrs. McCarthy' (ITA). It has not been precisely located. It may be one of the two raths (see KE066-061----) recorded in the 1840s as being in the S side of this townland (OSNB, Aghadoe, no. 1, 21). A Man-made underground passage (KE066-089001-) and a well (KE066-089002-) are associated with the rath.
