According to O'Kelly (1969, 6) in relation to 'Ballyhendrican' townland, 'There is a small rath on the southern border'. There is no enclosure indicated on the 1st (1839) OS 6-inch map or the 1945-6 revision in this townland. It is possible that O'Kelly mistook a small circular quarry on the 1945-6 revision, indicated with hachures facing inward signifying a depression, and located in the W portion of the townland, near the S boundary, as an enclosure. The location of the 'rath' is unknown.

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.
