The National Monuments Service's description
Reynolds (1975, 62) refers to an 'old village site' which was near the rath at Kilbreedy. The reference is attributed to Killanin and Duignan (1962, 277) but no reference to Kilbreedy appears there. There are two enclosures which may be the 'rath' referred to, a ringfort (TS052-041001-) in the northwestern portion of the townland and a large enclosure (TS052-047----) in the southwestern portion of the townland, bordering with Clareen townland. This possible settlement cluster remains unlocated within the townland.
