Recorded monuments

• LF019-063 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the W-facing slope of a high ridge. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed from NE-ENE-E by a low bank of earth and stone. From E-S-SSW the circuit and morphology of the bank had been altered where it had been incorporated into a NE-SW field boundary. Elsewhere the defining element was a low scarp (H 0.4m). There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance was not recognisable. The rath is densely overgrown with scrub rendering inspection impossible. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
