What is recorded here

Recorded in the 1940's as a 'cathairín … about a quarter of a mile to the south-west of The City (The Cathair) and 200 yards from Cathairín an Ghrafaigh [KE068-034---], in William Creedon's land. The circular wall is in a good state of preservation, 6 feet [1.82m] wide, 5 feet [1.52m] H outside, 6 feet [1.82m] H inside; diameter inside 18.5 feet [5.63m]. From it can be seen a fort in Caisleach and another in Meall an Ghabha. The three are in a straight line' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). Its precise location is not known.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
