Recorded monuments

• MA038-027 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a low rise in undulating terrain. Raised circular area (23.6m E–W; 25.8m N–S) enclosed by a gravelly earthen bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2m, at NW). The bank is best preserved on the N arc, where protruding stones may be remnants of a rough internal kerb. The bank is lower and degraded at NE–SE, with a break (Wth 1.7m) at E; the original entrance may have been on this side. At S-NW the bank is reduced to a low, broadly-slumped scarp. The interior has a slight slope down to S. There is a NW-SE farm road immediately to N. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 24 July 2019

• MA038-028 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In wet to average pasture, located on a small knoll, which provides excellent views of the surrounding undulating landscape This rath is named ‘Rathtooreen’ on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch map. It consists of a circular area (diam. 23.5m) defined by remnants of a gravelly earthen bank. On the W half the bank survives as a low, sod-covered rise (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.4m), which appears to have served as a field boundary in the past, and is bordered on its outer edge at SW-NW by a narrow, shallow ditch (Wth 1.2m; ext. D 0.15m); the ditch appears to be a field ditch rather than an original fosse. At the N the external slope of the bank (ext. H 2.5m) is steeper than elsewhere, enhanced by the knoll slope. On the E half the bank has been levelled a low scarp with a slight internal rim. In the interior there is a slight slope down to E, where there is an entrance gap (Wth c. 2m), opening onto the more gradually sloping side of the knoll. Remnants of a field bank, visible as a low rise, traverse the interior on a NNW–SSW axis, in line with extant field boundaries that intersect with the rath at NNW and S.

• MA038-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a slight rise in an area of level ground surrounded by rolling terrain. The River Deel, which marks the S boundary of the townland, is 250m to SE. This enclosure, most likely a rath, is named ‘Rathduff’ on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It has been levelled, but it is still possible to trace the outline of a roughly circular, slightly raised area (c. 25m N–S; c. 22m E–W) defined by a broad, low scarp.
