What is recorded here

In gently SSE-sloping boggy pasture, above The Cliffs of Moher c. 85m to the NNW. Identified in 1998 by Markus Casey. This subcircular rath (int. dims. 41m NW-SE; 39.5m NE-SW) is defined by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.25m; av. Wth 3.1m) and a shallow outer fosse (ext. D 0.1m; Wth 2.5m). The SW sector of the rath may be slightly truncated where a high field wall – the townland boundary between Kineilty and Slievenageeragh - runs NW-SE, with no traces of the rath’s enclosing element visible on the SW (Kineilty) side of this wall. The interior is featureless apart from a low grassed-over earthen rise in the centre of the site and is clear of excess vegetation.   Compiled by Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott   Date of upload: 6-10-2025
