Recorded monuments

• MA050-013 Earthwork
  Description

  At the N end of a modern rectangular pasture field, located on an E–W ridge. This record was included in the RMP (1996) as ‘Earthwork –possible’ on the basis of a possible circular feature recorded in an aerial photo (GSI G 178 -9; Roll 215, pr. 12). The location is shown on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps as an area of rough or rocky ground, accessed from E by a trackway, and is marked with a trigonometrical spot height (213.4 feet). It is engulfed in dense overgrowth, and it has not been possible to determine the nature of the remains. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 June 2020

• MA050-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located at E end of an E–W spine of elevated ground, surrounded to N, E and S by tracts of bog intermixed with reclaimed grassland. To E, the lowlying bog stretches for c.600m to the River Moy. A derelict farmstead lies immediately to SE. A road skirts the rath at SW–NE. Raised circular area or platform (30m N–S; 31m E–W) defined by a substantial scarp (H 1.5m at SW, 2.6m at SE). At SW–NW the scarp is topped by a slightly raised earthen rim, suggesting an original bank of width c. 3-3.5m. A field fence merges with the scarp on its NW arc. At E the external slope of the scarp has been cut away slightly, and at SE–S it has been cut to the vertical and faced with drystone walling; these modifications are relatively recent in date, probably relating to the period of habitation of the adjacent farmstead. The interior is level. At the S there is a ramp-like slope in the scarp, which appears to have been either created or modified relatively recently, but may mark the site of an original entrance. A heap of field clearance debris is piled against the SW side of the rath. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 June 2020

• MA050-014001 Souterrain
