What is recorded here

Killeen (Site of) is a burial ground in Rath Lower, County Waterford, Ireland. A Scalé map from 1773 marked the place faintly as a Danish fort, while the 1927 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map identified it as a killeen. The site occupies pasture on a southwest-facing slope and has no visible ground-level trace.

Marked faintly as a 'Danish fort' on a Scalé map of 1773 (NLI: ms. 7217, 27), it is marked as a killeen only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated in pasture on a SW-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 20 October 2011
