Recorded monuments

• LF014-083 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a WNW-facing slope on low-lying ground. Depicted as a roughly circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is clipped at SSW by a WNS-ESE running roadway. Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 23 November 2011

• LF014-086 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low rise in pasture. A raised subcircular area (diam. 23.7m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.8m; H 0.4m max.) with a narrow, shallow, external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.25m) from NNE–S–W. A NE–SW running field boundary cuts the monument at NNE and W and while the enclosing elements to the NW of it have been levelled, their outlines are still evident. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a low outer bank; it has also been levelled but its outline (Wth 2.9m) is also still visible. A break (Wth 3.3m) in the bank at ESE with traces of an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 23 November 2011
