This one, a probable rath sitting in boggy pasture on a very gentle south-south-westerly slope in the Kerry townland of Carhoomeengar, does neither. It is entirely invisible at ground level. The only evidence of its existence is a circular enclosure, roughly twenty metres in diameter, that resolves into view only when seen from the air.

A rath is a ringfort, typically a circular area enclosed by one or more earthen banks and ditches, used during the early medieval period as a farmstead and a marker of social standing. Thousands survive across Ireland, though many have been lost to agriculture or erosion over the centuries. This particular example may have fared quietly badly. By the time fieldworkers recorded the raths of this townland in the 1940s, there were understood to be two of them here. The aerial photograph that reveals this circular enclosure suggests it is likely one of those two, its banks so reduced by the boggy ground and the slow work of time that nothing of it can be read from the surface any longer. The site exists now primarily as a photographic shadow, a faint outline preserved by the differential growth of vegetation or the subtle compression of the earth beneath.
