Recorded monuments
- CL016-117 Ringfort - rath
Description
On the summit of a hill in pasture with spectacular views to the S and SW. Hachured on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This rath, originally circular in plan, is now D-shaped as a result of the construction of a field boundary, which runs across it from NW to NE; no surface trace of it is visible to the N of the boundary. It is defined by a central platform ( 23.1m N-S; 19.5m N-S; av. H 0.25m), a very overgrown intervening fosse (base Wth 3m; av. Wth at top 5m) and an outer bank (av. Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.2m). A causewayed entrance gap (Wth 4m) is visible at E and a number of cattle gaps are also visible. The interior slopes to the S and is overgrown with nettles, rushes and reeds.

- CL016-120 Ringfort - rath
Description
On the SSE-facing slope of a ridge in a hilly pasture with marshy lower slopes. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A subcircular rath (int. dim. 24m E-W) defined by a well-preserved steep-sided round-topped earthen bank (Wth 6m at base; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.6m) from WSW to N to E. The townland boundary overlies it from SE to SW. A gap (Wth 2m) at NNW may be the original entrance. The interior is level. A faintly visible shallow depression (Wth 3m) around the bank may be the remains of a fosse. The bank is lower in height in the E sector where material from it may have been used in the construction of the adjacent Land Commission field boundary, which is aligned NNW-SSE.
