Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 330) refers to, 'High Rath, a sub-division of Castle Eve, is so called from an ancient fort long since levelled', he goes on to say, 'There is here a field named "the Old Street," full of mounds and traces of foundations, which, the people all say, formed the extreme western limit of the city of Kells in the time of its greatness. High Rath is 1½ or 2 Irish miles distant from the present village of Kells'. 'Highrath' is indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map, the 1948 revision and on the 25-inch (1899) OS map as the name of a settlement cluster in the northern portion of Castle Eve townland. The precise location of earthworks described by Carrigan is unknown.
