An ancient road mentioned in Crichad an Chaoilli (Translation; Power 1932, 54) where it is included in description of territory of the Tuath O Fiannadhuigh 'from Baile Hi Ghormain westward to the road in Druim Raite. Exact location of Drom Raite uncertain but Power (ibid.,116) suggests it is Dromdowney and adds that 'the allusion to a ród here is highly interesting; evidently this is a different class of highway to that styled bóthar in Leathbhaile Hi Conchubhair'. Site could not be located.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
