Recorded monuments

• LF008-018 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a terrace adjacent to a stream to the E. Depicted as a circular enclosure planted with trees and designated 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Described in 1986 (SMR file) as a small circular ringfort (diam. c. 22m) defined by the slight remains of a bank of earth and stone from S-W-NNW and by a steep irregular scarp from NNW-E-SSE. The monument was obscured and overgrown by a dense thicket of elder, hawthorn and blackthorns. On a revisit in 1998 the monument was still heavily overgrown and appeared to be more rectangular in plan (dims. 28m ENE-WSW; 16m NNW-SSE). No visible surface trace of the bank survived: it was reduced to a scarp. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 23 November 2012

• LF008-036 Standing stone
  Description

  Recorded as 'Standing stone' but not in Gothic script on the OS 6-inch 1st map (1836), suggesting that the feature was not an antiquity. Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 6 March 2012
