- GA104-065 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a gentle N-facing slope in pastureland. This well-preserved rath is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. There is a causewayed entrance gap at S. The townland boundary wall overlies the outer bank from SW to NNE. No visible surface trace of the internal stone-facing noted by McCaffrey (1952, 245, no. 150) on the inner bank survives. This site of a souterrain (GA104-065001-) is evident in the NW quadrant of the interior and in the S sector a subdivision that is subrectangular (L 20.2m; Wth 16.1m) in plan.
