What is recorded here

In pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) with a curving field boundary, which may be the remains of an outer bank, respecting it S-NW. This may be one of two raths (see KE065-017----) mentioned in the 1940s as being in the same field and 'about 200 yards [183m] apart' in Kelly's farm (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). One rath was described as being 'very big' with 'two earthen circular rings' and the other was a 'single ring fort' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry).
