Recorded monuments

• LF021-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle NE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 46.2m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4m; H 0.35m max.). From NNW-N-ENE the outer face of the bank has been partially destroyed due to the construction of a modern NW-SE field boundary. A report in 1977 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse, which has since been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is densely overgrown with vegetation but low heaps of stone, probably field-clearance debris, are distinguishable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF021-005 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a NNE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 37.1m) enclosed by a very wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 8.15m; H 0.2-1.1m) with a wide, deep, external fosse (Wth 5.3m; D 0.9m). From N-NE-ENE, where it is bordered by a modern WNW-ESE field boundary, the outer face of the bank has been steepened and the fosse is largely infilled. A break (Wth 3.45m) in the bank at ESE with an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
