What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope in pasture. A roughly square area (max. dims. c. 34m SW-NE) defined by broad banks (Wth >5m) visible on OSi MapGenie 2013-2018 and on Google Earth (imagery date: 18 March 2022). Westropp (1900, 427) lists a rath in Caherycahill townland that was named in an Inquisition of 1626 but was destroyed in 1900. This is potentially the site in question.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
