What is recorded here

On a hilltop (OD 423 feet) in pasture. In 1837 according to the OSL (Herity 2002, 59 (173)), ‘In Rathascar T.L. are the ruins of a castle [KD024-001002-] standing in the centre of a Fort or Mound.’ A circular area (diam 40m) was enclosed by an earthen bank, gapped at N and E, and an external fosse. The interior contained the foundations of a castle (KD024-001002-), probably a tower house (SMR file). The monuments were levelled in 1984, but subsurface remains may survive. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 07 June 2012 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 9/1971).
