Recorded monuments

• LF013-035 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle NNW-facing slope in poorly drained, wet pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 31.7m) enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.6m; H 0.3-1.3m) with a wide, deep intervening fosse (Wth 5.4m; D 0.95m), an outer bank (Wth 6.9m; H 0.9m) and an outer fosse (Wth 4.1m; D 0.25m). The latter is identifiable only from ENE-E-SSE. The rath is divided into roughly equal portions by a modern NW-SE field boundary, which also marks the townland boundary. The portion to the SW (in Garvagh townland) has been levelled but its outline is still identifiable, that to the NE is divided into unequal portions by a modern ENE-WSW field boundary. The much-smaller portion, to the NW, has been levelled but again its outline is still evident. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 11 January 2012

• LF013-038 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  A short distance to the NW of the highest point of a prominent hill, affording panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. A raised oval area (64.7m NW-SE; 44.1m NE-SW) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 8.2m; H 0.7-1.4m) with a deep external fosse (Wth 3.1m; D 1.5m). The outer face of the bank has been steepened and faced with drystone masonry in relatively modern times. From NW-N-ENE there is a garden at the external base of the bank and the fosse has been infilled. A report in 1975 (SMR file) suggested that the original entrance may have been at NW but this is no longer identifiable. Cultivation ridges are evident in the interior. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 11 January 2012

• LF013-039 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  A short distance to the NNW of the highest point of a prominent hill. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 26m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. The inner face of the bank had been faced with drystone masonry at NE and SW. There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance may have been at NE. It has been levelled and is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
