Recorded monuments

• LF018-001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  At the N end of a low ridge in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been levelled. However, the outline of the enclosing elements, apparently a bank with an external fosse, may be traced extending in an arc from NW-N-SE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF018-015001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a high prominent hill in rolling countryside. A raised circular area (diam. 40.9m) enclosed from SW-N-NNE by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.2m; H 1.1m max.) that is incorporated into a field boundary. Elsewhere the bank has been levelled but its outline is still identifiable. A shallow external fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.25m) survives from SW-W-WNW. The original entrance is not recognisable. Within the WNW sector of the interior is a depression, which probably marks the location of a souterrain (LF018-015002-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 17 January 2012
