Recorded monuments

• LF006-046 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level, poorly drained, rush-grown pasture, in the NE corner of a rectangular field at the junction of several modern field fences. Oval area (26m NW–SE; c. 18m NE–SW) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 1m; ext. H c. 2m at S) adapted to serve as a field boundary from NW–SE. Outside the bank from SE–W there is a field drain (Wth 1.7m; ext. D 0.6–0.7m) which respects the curve of the rath. It is possible that this utilises an existing fosse but no trace of the latter is evident elsewhere around the circuit. The bank at E is noticeably more substantial (Wth 3.5–4m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.4m) because soil scarped from the area immediately to the E of the rath was heaped on top during land reclamation in recent years. Field-clearance debris appears also to have been added to the bank at N. The interior is level. The bank is almost entirely engulfed in brambles and ringed by hawthorn bushes.

• LF006-047 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a SE-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. 24m) defined by a scarp (H 0.2-1m) with a shallow external fosse (D 0.2m) that is identifiable only at NE. The original entrance is not recognisable.

• LF006-050 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a S-facing slope. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been largely levelled due to the construction of a dwelling-house in the N sector. All that survives is a low bank of earth and stone, extending in an arc from NNE-E-ESE, which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. A report in 1978 (SMR file) recorded traces of an external fosse, which are no longer identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 5 December 2011

• LF006-051 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a SSE-facing slope within a large plantation of coniferous trees. A buffer zone extends around the monument and no planting occurs within in it. This roughly circular rath (int. diam. c. 46m) is defined by an earthen bank with an external fosse. The bank is best preserved at NW, elsewhere it is low and fragmentary and is not visible at NE and E. It is overgrown with thorn trees. The fosse is not visible from NW-N-E. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 14 February 2012

• LF006-052 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a SE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed from W-WNW-NNW by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4-5.7m; H 0.5-1.45m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 0.3-2m). A report in 1978 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse and noted that the original entrance may have been at E but these features are no longer visible. Some levelling of the scarp has occurred at E and adjacent to it; in this sector there is a raised triangular area (14m N-S; 13m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.6-1.5m). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 3 December 2011
