• LI019-018 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on gentle N-facing hill slope. Oval area (28m N-S; 21.2m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1.8m) best preserved at NNW but lowers at S (ext. H 0.4m). Bank, heavily masked by overgrowth, has several large stones lying edge-to-edge for c. 5m SW->W. In general bank has suffered erosion from cattle accessing interior. Break in bank (Wth 2m) at SSE. Flat interior is under rough pasture, and used as a shelter area for cattle. Loose stones scattered along verge probably derive from stone facing on bank.
