Recorded monuments
- KE058-087 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on a SSW-facing slope. A circular area (c. 40m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by an inner earthen bank (Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 1.25m) NW-SE and by a scarp SE-NW. An intervening fosse (Wth 1.6m) is visible NW-E. An outer bank is evident NW-E, incorporated into the field boundary system at N and ENE. The raised interior is level. There is a possible entrance through the inner bank at SE. The townland boundary, which curves to respect the rath, appears to be following the line of the intervening fosse along the W arc.

- KE058-142 Ringfort - rath
Description
In rough scrub land, on a SW-facing slope. A roughly circular area (diam. c. 44m) defined by an earthen bank SW-SE and by a scarp (H 2m) SE-SW. The interior slopes down to the SW and is covered in rough scrub. There are cattle gaps at E, SE and W. The outer face of the bank along the N arc and the area outside this was not inspected due to dense overgrowth. Indicated as a roughly rectangular field on the 1894 OS 6-inch map with field boundaries radiating from it at NE, SSE, SW and WNW. The field boundaries at SSE and SW have been removed.
