- KD022-014 Ringfort - rath
Description
Near the top of a short, gentle, NE-facing slope in mixed pasture and tillage. A sub-circular area (int. diam. 20.8m E-W; 17.5m N-S) is defined by a low, broad, inner earthen bank (int. H 0.2-0.5m; Wth 3.7m at W-7.9m at E; ext. H 0.4-1.4m) E-S-N, which is reduced to a low scarp elsewhere, by a shallow fosse (D 0.5m; Wth 3m) E-S-N, which has been infilled N-E, and by a second, broad outer bank (Wth 8m; ext H 1.9m) ESE-NW. A possible original entrance gap (Wth 2.5m) in the inner bank at WNW has a corresponding causeway across the fosse outside, but no corresponding gap in the outer bank, which may be explained by the outer bank's reuse as a townland boundary with Mountrice WSW-NW. The surviving banks are overgrown with hazel, some of which appears coppiced, and, together with the fosse and interior, are heavily poached by livestock. The interior also contains a badger sett. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 05 December 2011 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 16/1956).

Description
On a S-facing slope in improved pasture. Although not recorded on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map, the site is shown on the latest ed. (1939) as a raised, U-shaped area (est. max. dims. L c. 30m NE-SW; Wth c. 25m) NE-S-NNW, ‘open’ towards the NE and ‘Rathwalkin’ (KD022-021----) c. 300m to the NE, girdled by a fosse, the W-edge of which is shown extending NE past the W-edge of the raised area (est. traceable L c. 60m). There was no visible surface trace in 1986 (SMR file). Visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGN 16). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 06 December 2011
