What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on the lower NW-facing slopes of The Paps of Dana. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as an oval enclosure (c. 70m NNE-SSW; c. 50m WNW-ENE) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map and as an intermittently enclosed area, truncated by a NW-SE road, on the 1894-5 OS 6-inch map. There is a possible souterrain (KE068-032001-) associated with this rath. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
