Recorded monuments

• LF019-091 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a S-facing slope in low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 32m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2-3m; H 0.2m) with a partially infilled external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2m). There is no trace of either the bank or fosse at S. From ENE-S-SSW a modern NE-SW field boundary runs immediately outside the monument. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at ENE may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF019-107001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In poorly drained, low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 38m) enclosed from NE-S-SW by a partially denuded low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4-4.5m; H 0.4-0.5m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 1-1.1m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a fosse and noted that the original entrance may have been either at E or SW. Neither of these features is identifiable. Adjoining the rath at NW is a possible moated site (LF019-107002-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 4 February 2012

Fragmentary traces of an infilled fosse (Wth 2m; max. D 0.2m) are visible at NW and NE. At SW this has been replaced by a field drain. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at E may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 9 May 2012
