Recorded monuments

• LI022-095 Moated site
  Description

  Enclosure described in 1942-3 as following; 'Only a portion of this structure now remains and it is not clear what the original shape of the monument The remains consist of a bank and fosse. The bank has two arms which meet one another at a point making an angle somewhat less than a right angle. The eastern arm is curved and the other is straight. This suggests that it may have been a D-shaped structure. The east arm is 160' [49m] long and the other 150' [46m]. The fosse is on the outside. It is situate in good low-land. The large field surrounding the monument is intersected by old fences, but it is not possible to say if they are ancient or not' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 227).

• LI022-099 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Enclosure described in 1942-3 as following; 'This consists of an oval platform which had an earthen bank on its edge. The latter is almost entirely gone except for a little distance on the south-west side. There are no traces of it on the north side. The southern end of the monument is completely obliterated. A cart track passes close by on this side and the material of the platform may have been taken for this. There is a step-down just north of the centre, making the northern half of the platform lower than the southern. This step may be accidental as the same feature runs all along the field. It is situate close to the last monument [LI022-095----] described above. The overall diameter is 150' [46m] east-west, and it is 180' [55m] north-south' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 227).
