• LF021-040 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the N slope of a low rise in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 30 November 2011

• LF021-041 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle NNE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 42.7m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4m; H 0.2-0.8m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.3m). From SW-N-ENE the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary, a modern drystone wall has been constructed along its outer face, and the fosse has been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable. The rath is densely overgrown with scrub rendering satisfactory inspection impossible. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 30 November 2011

• LF021-042 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle NNE-facing slope in pasture. A raised subcircular area (c. 38m NNW-SSE; c. 32m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.6m; H 0.4m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.1m), which is identifiable only at SW. The outer face of the bank has been steepened and incorporated into a field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. The rath is very densely overgrown with scrub rendering satisfactory inspection impossible. Another ringfort (LF021-043----) lies c. 50m to the SSE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 30 November 2011

• LF021-043 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low rise in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Forts' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded that only a short segment of the bank and slight traces of an external fosse survived in the SW quadrant, which had been cut from the rest of the monument by a NW-SE running field boundary. These features have since been levelled and the rath is not visible at ground level. Another rath (LF021-042----) lies c. 50m to the N. Compiled by: Patrick F.

• LF021-044001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle NNE-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a large circular enclosure on the 1837 OS 6-inch map and named 'New Row Fort'. An irregularly shaped raised area (58.7m NW-SE; 50.1m NE-SW) is enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone, which has been extensively modified and incorporated into a field boundary from NE-E-S. There is no trace of a fosse. The present entrance at WNW does not appear to be original. The interior is divided into unequal portions by the remains of a WNW-ESE drystone wall. The outline of a relatively modern, small, rectangular house is visible within the smaller portion to the SSW of the wall. Also within this portion is a large pond. Within the larger NNE portion are a series of field-clearance cairns. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a circular house site (LF021-044002-) in this area but it was not identified.
