• LI018-007 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough pasture, on N-facing brow of E-W ridge; land immediately to S recently planted with coniferous trees. Monument, depicted as circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. According to local information enclosing element was dry-stone built and was levelled c. 1970 during land reclamation. Area now strewn with loose stones and dumps of field-clearance material. Short arc of dumped material (roughly in position of NW arch of enclosure) may include or overlie original enclosing walling. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LI018-008 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On S-facing brow of E-W ridge. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been almost completely destroyed by extensive drain excavation for forestry plantation- area now planted with young coniferous trees. Short arc of bank (L 5.2m; H c. 0.6m), densely overgrown with gorse and brambles, may be part of NW arc of enclosing element. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LI018-009 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, at E end of low hill. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, is now bisected by E-W field boundary. No visible surface trace of enclosure on S side of field boundary; this area has been reclaimed by insertion of drains for coniferous plantation. On N side of field boundary arc of partially levelled earthen bank (H c. 0.4m; Wth c. 2m) survives W->E, accentuated by lighter-coloured grass growing on it. This encloses D-shaped area (24m E-W; 18m N-S). Interior, raised slightly above level of surrounding area, has uneven and stony surface covered by tall grass and brambles. Short distance (c. 8m) N of enclosure land falls away steeply. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LI018-120 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level tillage. In ploughed field a ring of lightly coloured (yellow/brown) stony soil with band of darker soil along its outside edge can be made out enclosing circular area (28m N-S; 30m E-W). This pattern suggests remains of a ploughed-out circular enclosure in which the enclosing element consisted of a bank with an external fosse. From N->E, along line of lighter soil, a slight rise is evident (H c. 0.15m). Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
