Recorded monuments

• LF006-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a SW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 26m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with an external fosse. The original entrance was probably at E. The monument has since been levelled but is clearly visible as a cropmark on an OSI aerial photograph (SMR file). Compiled by Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 5 December 2012
