The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of the site of a possible souterrain in the townland of Brackhill has not been identified. Described by Macalister (1902, 51) recorded the following details; 'No rath-cave is now known to exist in Brackhill; but after several enquiries I found a tradition of such a structure having stood on the farm of a man named Cronin, at the extreme east of the townland. No trace, however, remains of it: the site has been ploughed up, and the stones are probably utilised for building and similar purposes'.
