What is recorded here

A structure with a cross indicating a church is the only feature marked at Raharrowbeg on the Strafford map of c. 1636, but William McHugh Kelly owned over 600 acres at Ballagh and Raharrowbeg in 1641 (Simington 1949, 115, Athlone (215)). The castle is marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in a broad basin. This is a subrectangular grass-covered mound (dims of top 10.2m E-W; 3.4m N-S; dims of base 17m E-W; 8.4m N-S; H 0.65-1.25m) within rath (RO045-130001-). Standing stone (RO045-130003-) is just to the S. (Graham 1988, 27-8) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
