- LI038-052 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on gentle NW-facing slope. Circular area (31.6m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.65m; ext. H 2.65m) with external fosse (D 1.6m; Wth 1m), and with counterscarp bank (ext. H 0.6m) W->NW. Enclosing element is masked by dense overgrowth. Field boundaries which formerly skirted enclosure on N and E sides have recently been removed, but field boundaries still abut enclosure at W and SE. Gaps in bank at ENE (Wth 2.3m) and W (Wth 1.5m). Interior is covered by dense undergrowth and coniferous trees; at centre is fenced-off animal pen, no longer used.

- LI038-054 Cairn - unclassified
Description
On top of a hill, in an area covered by ferns, furze and briars but recently planted with coniferous trees. An oval cairn of loose stone (H c. 3m; 14.2m N-S; 9.8m E-W), rising in a series of steps along its SW arc. It rises to a roughly oval summit (2.8m N-S; 3.6m E-W). There is a series of depressions in the side of the cairn; these occur at NW (3.6m N-S; 4.5m E-W; D 1m), E (2.2m N-S; 2.4m E-W; D 0.6m), off-centre to E (1.6m N-S; 0.9m E-W; D 0.75m) and at SSE (1.8m N-S; 1.45m; D 0.9m). Recent clearance work by a mechanical digger has created a passageway skirting around the cairn SE->NW; this has created a band of earth and stone against the base of the cairn (Wth 3m).
