The National Monuments Service's description
According to O’Kelly (1969, 147) in Garranstan townland, there is ‘one rath’. There is no enclosure indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map or the 1947 revision. A quarry, indicated by hachures on the 1947 revision, in the northern portion of the townland, may have been mistaken by O’Kelly as an enclosure. The location of a ‘rath’ in the townland is unknown.
