What is recorded here

According to O'Kelly (1969, 8) the rath of Doorath was located, 'on the now wooded hillpoint at 550' overlooking BallyKeeffe Hill quarry, where Johnnie Murphy maintained he used to hear the fairy fiddle music'. The enclosure is not visible on satellite imagery (Digitalglobe and Google Earth, viewed 26 May 2021) in the area N of Ballykeefe Wood. The precise location of the enclosure 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.
