• KE068-024 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the NW-facing slopes of Knocknabro. This rath is indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1846 and 1894 OS 6-inch maps. Field-clearance rubble, obscured by overgrowth, is piled haphazardly in this area. A short stretch of a N-S earthen bank (Wth 4.25m; H at W 0.6m; H at E 0.7m), covered with overgrowth, may be part of the enclosing element of the rath.

• KE068-026 Enclosure
  Description

  In rough pasture, on the NW-facing slopes of Knocknabro. An oval area (30.6m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.75m) W-E and by an intermittent lip on top of a scarp E-W. The bank is best preserved N-E, where a small drainage channel skirts the external face of the bank. Two large stones are incorporated into the bank at E. The interior is raised (H 1.2m) at S and is partially covered with overgrowth. Remains of cultivation ridges cross the interior in a N-S direction and there is a pile of loose stones at the centre. A hut site (KE068-026001-) abuts the internal face of the bank at W. This is the 'fort' recorded by Rev. W. Ferris (d. 1971) on Patrick Duggan's land (WFP).

  Description

  In rough hill pasture, on a hillock, on the lower N-facing slopes of Knocknabro. The remains of a circular hut (8.9m E-W; 7.8m N-S) defined by the lower courses of a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 1m; H 0.7m) which is cut (D 0.4m) into the upslope. A break (Wth 0.6m) at W may indicate the entrance. The interior is level and rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered mainly along the perimeter.
