Recorded monuments

• LF020-013 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low ridge in pasture. Depicted as a large circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that this slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 42m) was enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. It has been largely levelled and is defined by a broad, low scarp (H 0.3m). The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF020-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low rise in pasture. Depicted as a subcircular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. On the 1914 ed. a laneway to its NE had been extended to the SW and would have cut through its SE quadrant. Traces survive to the NW of the laneway and as a slightly raised area (Murphy 1998, 5). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 16 February 2012

• LF020-015 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a SE-facing slope. Not marked on any ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded that apart from a very slight rise, no trace of this monument survived. The W half was occupied by a modern dwelling-house. Murphy (2002, 139) undertook archaeological testing here in 1998, in advance of a proposed residential development, and concluded that 'all traces of the ringfort seem to have been destroyed.'

• LF020-016 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On wet, low-lying ground. A report in 1986 (SMR file) recorded a slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 22m), part of which was enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The monument is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF020-027 Mound
  Description

  On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as an oval enclosure with the designation ‘Fort’ on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On the OS 25-inch plan (surveyed 1911), it is shown as a small subrectangular earthwork (overall dims. c. 30m NNE–SSW; c. 25m NW–SE). No entrance feature is indicated. The monument is overgrown with ash trees, hawthorn and briars and it has been severely defaced as a result of quarrying. It appears to be a mound and is now defined by bank of earth and gravel (Wth c. 4.5m; H 1.8m), crescent shaped in plan, curving from NNW-E-S (int. dim. N-S 9m). Both faces of the bank as well as the interior have been extensively quarried out. Slight traces of a fosse are evident from ENE-E-S. Compiled by: Patrick F.
