Recorded monuments

• KK010-016 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the crest of a ridge of hills between the Deen and Gloshia river valleys, in rolling pasture. There are fine views in all directions across and along both valleys and along the ridge of hills. When visited in 1987 it was described as a circular area (int. diam. c. 25m) enclosed by slight earthen bank (overall Wth c. 3m; int. H c. 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) and an external fosse (Wth c. 5m; D 0.1-0.2m), the latter only indicated by a shallow depression, with an original entrance (Wth c. 2m) at the SE. On the 1947 6-inch OS revision and 25-inch OS map it is indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) with an outer bank running from S-W-NW. By 2011 the monument appears to have been levelled (Goggle Earth imagery 4/21/2011). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 13 November 2018
