• CO045-019 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture, 400m N of River Bride. Circular area (diam. c. 22m) defined by three, eroded, earthen banks (max. H 0.8m) SW->SE; with shallow intervening fosses and external fosse. Roadway skirts enclosure S->WNW; earthen field fence, planted with mature deciduous trees, encloses site WNW->ENE. Landowner bulldozed southern portion of defences prior to construction of farm buildings. Subsequently, two-week excavation was carried out to investigate break, to E (Wth 2.8m), in ringfort defences, inarea where it was proposed to build slurry pit. Trench (3m x 4m) opened across break, revealed gravel path, of recent date, running through it. No features or finds contemporary with occupation of fort were discovered. Section cut across ringforts defences revealed dump-construction triple bank and fosse arrangement; banks much denuded and fosses well silted-up.
