According to Keatinge (1958-9, 12), in conversation with a local smith, he was told 'if I wished to see a still greater sight in the way of raths, that he would in a few minutes bring me to one much more easily entered, and 'with finer rooms in it:' this last rath being situate at Heathview, near Glenbower', and continues that 'the smith and his neighbours say that the entrance to Heathview fort is not in the fort itself, but situate some yards off, near a dyke, and has stairs descending into it'. Unfortunately the author did not have the opportunity to investigate this claim. Apart from the ringwork in the S of the townland, there is only one other enclosure in the townland so the likelihood is that this may be the 'fort' alluded to above, this monument (TS078-019001-) has since been levelled.
