Recorded monuments

• LF005-013 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a SE-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) described the monument as a raised subcircular area (c. 53m NNE-SSW; c. 47m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone with a wide deep external fosse and a possible original entrance at SE. It has since been almost completely destroyed by quarrying. All that survives is a very small portion of the interior (max. dim. 3m) which is enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 4.5-6m; H 0.1-0.6m) from NE-S-W. Because the bank is heavily overgrown with scrub it is unclear whether the original feature has been augmented by upcast from the quarry. A low, poorly defined rise marks the circuit of the remainder of the perimeter. The fosse is not visible at ground level and the present entrance is at SE. Compiled by: Patrick F.
