Recorded monuments

• LF023-093001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in low-lying pasture. A raised oval area (c. 35m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.5-0.8m). There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is divided into roughly equal portions by a NW-SE field boundary. At SE the scarp and a portion of the interior have been destroyed due to the construction of a NE-SW field boundary and drain. A possible house (LF023-093002-) lies in the NE quadrant.

• LF023-093002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Within the NE quadrant of a rath (LF023-093001-). This possible rectangular house (7.9m NW-SE; 7.1m NE-SW) is defined along the SE and NW sides by the fragmentary, grassed-over remains of drystone walls. The SW side is defined by the modern NW-SE field bank that divides the rath into two approximately equal parts. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 February 2012

• LF023-094 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On an E-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.6m; H 0.3m) with an external fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.3-0.4m). From S-N-NE the bank and fosse have been modified and incorporated into a partially levelled field boundary. A break (Wth 1m) in the bank at NE may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF023-098 Enclosure
  Description

  On a gentle rise in moderately drained pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the Grand Jury map (1813).
