In the 1940s a big rath 'surrounded by a double fence' was recorded 'about 300 yards to the north west of Lissyviggeen school' and on the edge of the large two-storey house [Fort William Ho.] of the O'Keeffe family (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). While there are no visible remains of this rath, the present owners of Fort William Ho. have a strong family tradition that there was a rath on the top of the ridge immediately to the NE of the house and consequently that area is not cultivated.
