- LE031-013 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated in a low-lying position in an undulating landscape with a small meandering NE-SW stream curving around it N-W c. 30-40m distant. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 32m N-S) that slopes down slightly to the NW. It is defined by a low scarp (H 0.35m) with evidence of a fosse defined by a band of dense scrub (Wth 2-3m). The original entrance is not identified. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 October 2019
- LE031-014 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on top of a drumlin. This is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) constrained by a N-S field bank at W and a NW-SE field bank at S on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’. It is represented as an equally constrained hachured feature on the 1945 revision. This was barely visible in 1991 (SMR file) as a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a band of thin vegetation on the site of the bank at N and E and by levelled hedgerows at S and W. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 October 2019
