Recorded monuments

• MA103-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, straddling a terrace on a S-facing slope, which falls to an expanse of level, wettish pasture. Ground rises immediately to N. An old farm road, on a roughly E−W axis, clips the N edge of the site. There are excellent views to SE−W. This bivallate rath consists of a subcircular platform (31m N−S; 30m E−W) defined by a stony bank, outside which it is enclosed by a fosse with an external bank. The inner bank has a low internal face and appears less substantial than the external bank. The fosse is flat-based and well defined. The substantial external bank has drystone facing in parts on its inner face; on the S arc it has a high exterior slope enhanced by the natural fall of ground. The entrance is at ESE where there is a gap (Wth 1.7m) in the inner bank, traces of a stone-strewn causeway across the fosse and a corresponding low area (Wth 3.4m) in the external bank. There is also a low area/break (Wth 5m) in the inner bank at W. Loose moss-covered stones are strewn along the top and external slopes of both banks, as well as across the fosse. A low skirt (Wth 1.2-1.4m; H 0.2-0.3m) of tumbled material curves around the base of the external slope of outer bank on the S arc. In the SE quadrant of the interior a low sod-covered linear rise/scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.2-0.3m) extends on a NNE−SSW axis for 8m, turning to E for 2m at its NNE end. Stones protrude from its SSW end. The significance of this feature is uncertain. The rath interior is grassy; both banks are ringed with oak and hazel trees, with mossy undergrowth.

• MA103-015 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In a small walled field immediately to N of a ruined stone cottage, with a modern farmstead to NW. The N side of the field is bordered by a road. Ground rises gradually to N to an area of rough rocky land, and falls away gently to S and W to improved grassland. Not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; shown as a small circular hachured feature on the 1916 edition, with a farmstead immediately to S. Roughly circular earth and stone mound (diam. c. 4m; H 0.8-1m) defined on the E arc by rough kerb of large irregular-shaped stones and bounders. A scatter of smaller loose stones on the top of the mound may be field clearance stones. Ash trees grow around the perimeter. The nature of this mound is uncertain. It may be a form of barrow, a cairn or possibly a feature associated with the adjacent ruined vernacular farmstead. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 October 2022

• MA103-054 Megalithic structure
  Description

  Located on a low rise, in rough rock-strewn pasture surrounded by expanses of bog. Much of the surrounding land has been planted with conifers. Listed in the RMP (1996) as a possible wedge tomb based on local information, this monument was inspected by the Megalithic Survey in 1996, who determined it to be megalithic structure of unknown date and uncertain function. Roughly rectangular drystone-built structure, with two roughly parallel side walls (L c. 3-3.4m N−S) set c. 1.3m apart. The two walls each consist of a single course of large irregular-shaped boulders (max. H 0.7m). The entrance appears to have been at the S end where the gap between the two side walls narrows to 0.6m. Here drystone walling, consisting of rough courses of small horizontally laid stones, is built up on top of the foundation course of boulders on either side of the gap to support a large slab/lintel (H above ground 1.1m) which roofs the gap. The N end of the structure and the interior are obscured by a chaotic jumble of stones; these stones may be collapsed upper wall courses or field clearance or both. A hazel tree grow out of the interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 November 2022
