- LH012-065001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLH012-065001-. Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence 99E0485). Three sections of ditches (one on E side, one on W side and one in between two) were excavated. A geophysical survey showed that the eastern and western ditch were part of the same circular enclosure (with a diam. of 41m). The excavator suggested that the ditches may represent phases in the construction of a ringfort. A large number of finds were recovered including ring pins, iron knives, souterrain ware and medieval pottery, a polished stone axehead, iron hooks, an iron reaping hook, industrial slag and a large quantity of animal bone. Remains of a souterrain (LH012-065002-) were also uncovered. (Ó Drisceoil 2002, 244) Ó Drisceoil, C. 2002 Site 2, Whiterath in I.

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence 99E0485). Located beneath ringfort (LH012-065001-). U-shaped passage (L 28.1m; Wth c. 1m) with drystone walls and a lintelled roof. Majority of lintels were robbed probably sometime in the post-medieval period. Two levels with a chamber at the lower level. Finds recovered included Souterrain ware pottery, a bone bead necklace, a bronze panel with an enamel interlace decoration, iron slag and a large quantity of animal bone.

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence 99E0485). Two large pits were uncovered in close proximity to a ringfort (LH012-065001-) and souterrain (LH012-065002-). One was sub-circular in shape (max. diam. 1.10m; D 1.10m) and interpreted as a refuse pit. Finds recovered included a broken blue glass armlet, animal bone and industrial slag. The second pit was keyhole shaped (max. diam. 3.50m; D .90m) and contained a small quantity of animal bone. The excavator suggests that this pit may be interpreted as an unused corn-drying kiln.

A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner.
