• LI030-093 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on break in N-facing slope. Roughly circular area (38.5m N-S; 35m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2.2m) ESE->NNW, with external fosse (D 0.95m; Wth 2.6m) ESE->S, and defined by a scarped edge (H 1.75m; Wth 3.8m) NNW->ESE. Causeway entrance (Wth 5.9m) at ESE. Interior, under pasture, slopes down to E. Just W-of-centre is deciduous tree around base of which is a dump of field-clearance stones. Field boundaries, shown abutting enclosure at SE and NW on 1924 OS 6-inch map, have been removed; this probably accounts for dumps of earthen material immediately outside enclosure to W and NW.

There are no records of a religious foundation here (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 366). Westropp (1904-5) noted tradition that majority of building fell 'in the gale on Little Christmas night, 1839'; in his time the remains consisted of '15 feet of the west end and 32 feet of the south wall, with a door, 4 feet wide, and a recess for a stoup. The foundations are 70 feet long, externally; the breadth not measurable. Other foundations run to the north and east, and form an enclosure, 115 feet by 60 feet, and extend for 50 feet to the north of the west fragments.'
