The National Monuments Service's description
Caulfield (1870, 269) described an isolated group of people called 'Ranties' who lived on the eastern slopes of Sugarloaf Mountain in eight townlands bordering the sea. In one of these townlands, Tracashel, he recorded 'an ancient burial-place called Killeenah - the last resting place of the Ranties' (ibid.). This burial ground has not been precisely located.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
