What is recorded here

This subrectangular structure (int. dims. 5.9m NW-SE; 3.8m NE-SW) has been built against the enclosing element of a possible rath (GA022-122----) at SW. It is defined by traces of a low bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.17m; ext. H 0.15m) most clearly evident along the N and S sides. It may be associated with the rath.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA022-122001

Explorer Tom Crocknaraw House claims it’s older than the concept of rent control. It used to be an orphanage called 'The Forty Boys', which sounds like a rock band. Go at sunset and see if the ghosts are dancing.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Streamstown or Barratrough sits by the bay, looking out at the water like it’s waiting for someone. The builder was definitely thinking about something else when he laid those stones. Go at sunset and thank me later.

Explorer Tom Rinvyle Castle in Kanrawer is dangerously close to falling over, which is very dramatic for a ruin. Miles Mc Tibbot had it, and he probably argued with the trees about space. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show without an audience.
