Carrigan (ibid. 324-5) mentions, ‘another rath [KK027-059002-] in the townland, in a large field at the cross-roads of Rathculbin, called Bawnarawha, or the Rath field. This rath is known to the old people as the “Rellig,” that is, the churchyard, and though its interior now presents no appearances of a churchyard, or of foundations of walls, there can be no question that it is the site of the ancient chapel of Rathculbin’. It is possible that this is the enclosure (KK027-090----) which was identified as a cropmark on satellite imagery (OS Ortho, imagery date 2004-2006; DigitalGlobe, imagery date 2011-2013) is the same as the ‘Reillig’, it is located c. 160m WSW of the cross-roads of Rathculbin, on the N side of the Mallardstown-Newtown church road and c. 30m E of the farmyard which contains the remains of a ruined late 16th/early 17th-century house (KK027-025----).
