Recorded monuments

• LF011-047 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In a hollow in pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 40m) enclosed by two substantial banks of earth and stone and two fosses. It was divided into roughly equal portions by a modern NW-SE roadway. A break in the bank at SW with an accompanying causeway probably marked the original entrance. The rath has since been levelled and is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
