Recorded monuments

• LI039-096 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture. Circular area (c. 30m N-S; c. 28m E-W) enclosed by three concentric earthen banks. Both inner bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 3.6m) and middle bank (int. H 1.75m; ext. H 2.05m) form complete circuit, and are separated by fosse (Wth 2.8m). Outer bank (int. H 1.8m; ext. H 0.45m) only evident W->ENE as it is overlain by field boundary W->SE. Both fosse between inner and middle bank, and between middle and outer bank (Wth 2.1m; D 0.35m) are evident for full circuit. Break (Wth 1.4m) in banks at N is used by cattle accessing interior. Enclosing element is covered by trees and bushes. Interior is level and under rough pasture but with clusters of dense overgrowth. Linked by tradition with 'Olom, mythical 2nd century king of Munster' (Seoighe 2000, 211), the site is known locally as Lissoleem or Lios Oluim (ibid.).The exceptional strength of site's defences lend credence to its identification as a royal fort.
