In low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 3.5-4m; H 0.2-0.4m) that has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary from ESE-S-N. The original entrance is not recognisable. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted the presence of a wide, shallow, external fosse. The rath is densely overgrown with vegetation. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011 - LF019-088: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF019-088----. On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. Described in 1976 (SMR file) as a circular area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a bank and fosse. While the N half of the monument was incorported into two field boundaries, running along the NW and NE quadrants, some of the bank was evident. The fosse had been deepened as part of a field drain. The S half had been almost completely levelled and no visible surface trace now survives. An enclosure (LF09-088001-) lies immediately to the N of the field boundary along the NW quadrant. It relationship with the rath is unclear; it may be an annexe or later feature. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 10 February 2012 - LF019-088001: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLF019-088001-. Immediately to the NW of a rath (LF019-088----). A semicircular enclosure (c. 33m NE-SW; c. 23m NW-SE) defined by a partially denuded, low bank of earth and stone. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that there was formerly a shallow external fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable. The relationship between the rath and the enclosure is unclear; the latter may be an annexe or later feature.

On a low rise in moderately drained pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument was levelled in the 1940s or 1950s (local information). However, a report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that the outline of a bank with an external fosse could still be traced enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 30m). It is visible at ground level.

At the S end of a low N-S ridge in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that this raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) was enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. It is defined by a scarp (H 1-1.2m). The original entrance is not recognisable. Within the interior at W is an area of outcropping rock. Compiled by: Patrick F.

On a gentle S-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The rath has been partially levelled due to road-widening and land reclamation. Compiled by: Patrick F.
