• CO087-046 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In tillage. Circular enclosure (diam. 28m) excavated 1989 by Ann-Marie Lennon in advance of partial destruction by Sandoz factory. Defined by low dump-construction bank (H 0.6m); U-shaped fosse (D 2.1m); bank spread covered by much of interior. Entrance to SSE with causeway; metalled surface through bank; re-cut paired postholes external to entrance. Interior partially excavated; remains of 11 structures recovered. Structures 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10 were circular (diams. 4.5m-5.6m) defined by earth-cut trenches (Wth 0.1m-0.4m; D 0.1m-0.27m) containing occassional post and stake settings. Structures 2 and 3 were contiguous, may have functioned as figure-of-eight structure. Structures 5, 6, 8 and probably 11 smaller, similar in construction, round or arc-shaped (diams. 2.4m-2.8m). Structure 1, early in sequence, subrectangular (L 6.5m; Wth 4.6m), paired posts just inside and outside S wall line. No evidence for hearths; at least two structural phases; structures 2 and 6 partly covered by charred destruction deposit. Three souterrains (CO087-102-, CO087-103-, CO087-104-) also present, cutting structures. Finds from site included animal and fish bone, shellfish, polished stone bead, fragments of shale bracelets, perforated hone stones and stone disc (Lennon forthcoming).

Concentric to and 1m inside W section of inner bank, trench (L 18m; Wth 1.8m; D 0.45m); excavator suggest that primary function 'was to hold a slot beam' for 'uprights....forming a palisade'.

House 1: diam. c. 5m; stake built except for one segment of slots, apparently for upright contiguous planks; occasional post-pits also along line. No trace of entrance or hearth. House 2: diam. c. 6m, construction mostly of double line stakes; entrance to SE (Wth 0.8m) flanked by twin post pipes. Scatter of post-holes, pits and stake-holes also in interior.
