Clooncraff Fort/Cluain Creamh (meadow of the wild garlic). This circular univallate rath would appear to be situated in the centre of a large sub-circular enclosure (KE016-004----) which is clearly outlined on the 1841-42 OS map. This rath is cut to the S and NE by fieldbanks. The enclosing bank is fairly overgrown and is 5m wide. It rises to a maximum external height of 1.6m and 1.6m above the interior. A slight external fosse can be noted from the N to NE, where it is c 3m wide. Immediately to the N of this rath lies a quarry.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 612. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
