Recorded monuments
- MA040-023 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, straddles a pronounced undulation or rise, providing good views, especially extensive to NW−N, but restricted by rising ground to SW. Raised circular area (diam. 22-25m) defined by an earthen scarp. The scarp (H 1.5m at E, 1.8m at NW; ext. Wth slope 4m at NW, c. 3m at E) is well defined. It is lowest on the N arc, and has been eroded in parts here by farm stock. The interior slopes from the centre down towards the perimeter, particularly in the NE quadrant, mirroring the natural undulations of the rise on which the rath is located. The interior is largely obscured by gorse and brambles. A number of field clearance boulders are scattered through the interior. There is a rath (MA040-024----) 140m to E, and another (MA040-021001-) 200m to NW, both visible from this one. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 May 2020
- MA040-025 Enclosure
Description
In pasture, located on a low rise. This enclosure is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an oval ringfort-like embanked enclosure (c. 30m N-S; 20-25m E−W), slightly truncated on its E edge by a N−S road; on the 1922 edition an arc of hachuring (c. 40m N−S), curving SW−NW, is shown. This enclosure has been levelled. At the location there is a slightly raised subrectangular area (c. 40m N−S; c. 20m E-W) of rough ground, disturbed in appearance and stony underfoot, bordered at E by a N−S road, at N by an E−W field fence, and at S and W by a broad, poorly defined slope. There is a rath (MA040-024----) 250m to SSE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 May 2020
