- MA080-046001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA080-046001-. In pasture, on top of a NE−SW ridge, close to the break of slope on the NW side where the ground falls steeply into a valley bordered on the opposite side by a high ridge. There are clear views of Croagh Patrick to W. To SE ground falls away more gradually, with extensive views over undulating pastureland. This well preserved rath consists of a circular raised area (47.3m NNW−SSE; 50.2m ENE−WSW) defined by a substantial earthen bank (Wth c. 5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 2.5m at NW, 1.45m at SE) with an external fosse (Wth 3-4m, base c. 2m, at NW). The inner face of the bank is quite well defined and incorporates stones at NW but is levelled to a broad low lip elsewhere around the circuit, giving the rath interior a slightly dished or saucer shaped profile. The external slope of the bank is high and pronounced, especially so on the NW arc. The fosse is evident as a broad but very shallow silted-up depression. The interior dips down slightly from centre to NE−E. It is crossed slightly N of centre by a NW−SE property fence, thickly covered in gorse. Remnants of cultivations ridges traverse the interior on a roughly E−W axis. The entrance may have been at E−ESE where the bank appears lower and there is a hint of a break in the fosse. A holy well named St. Patrick’s Well (MA080-046002-) is a 40m meters to SE. According to tradition, this rath was ‘called Lisnacrus, or the fort of the Cross’ because of its association with the holy well: ‘The country people say that stations used to be held, marked by wooden crosses, starting from the well and round the rath back to the well.’ (Knox 1902, 188-9).

- MA080-046002: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA080-046002-. In pasture, located on a gentle slope c. 40m SE of a rath (MA080-046001-). Named ‘St Patrick’s Well’ on the 1838 and 1919 OS 6-inch maps, this consist of a circular sod-covered earth and stone mound (diam. 6-7.5m; H 0.6m) with a shallow central hollow (diam. 0.8-1m; D 0.25m). Unusually, the well is not located at a spring but, according to tradition, utilised water gathered in the hollow of a bullaun stone (MA080-046003-). An account of this was recorded by Knox (1902, 188-9): ‘The well consists of a hollow in a large stone which is slightly below ground level, and has the appearance of being having been built around. The hollow is oval, 17 inches by 15 inches, and 7 inches deep [0.43m by 0.39m by 0.18m]. Although there is no spring, it is said that there is always water in it…The country people say that stations used to be held, marked by wooden crosses, starting from the well and round the rath back to the well.’ When inspected in 1998, there was no trace of the bullaun stone in the central hollow of the mound.

Part of a holy well (MA080-046002-) named St. Patrick’s Well on the 1838 and 1919 OS 6-inch maps. According to Knox (1902, 188-189), a bullaun stone formed an integral part of St Patrick’s Well. He noted that ‘The object of veneration is the water in an artificial hollow in a stone, not that of a natural spring.’ There was no visible trace of the bullaun stone when the well was inspected in 1998.

This record is based on a reference in Knox (1904, 174) to a possible chapel (site of) in Ballinamore Demesne in Carrowdangan townland, which may have been associated with a rath (MA080-046001-) and a holy well (MA080-046002-).

In pasture, at the base of the N-facing slope of a ridge. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 15m), outlined by a solid line and planted with trees, is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. There is no visible trace at ground level. A rath (MA080-046001-) is located on top of the ridge c. 50m to SSW, and there is a holy well (MA080-046002-) c. 70m to S.

In rough, scrubby woodland, adjacent to a spring in a natural basin of wet ground at the base of a steep NNW-facing ridge slope. The area is marked ‘Carrowdangan Wood’ on the 1919 OS 6-inch map. A roughly oval mound (c. 6m NW–SE; c. 4-5m NE–SW; H 0.3m) of firm dry ground amidst an expanse of soft, wet terrain. It is composed of heat-shattered stones and occasional charcoal fragments in dark soil. The exact limits of the mound are obscured by a large willow tree, whose roots have spread over the mound. A spring/drain lies immediately to E, and flows to NNE flanked on the E side by a field fence. A rath (MA080-046001-) crowns the ridge is c. 150m to S.

In pasture at the base of an E-facing slope. There is a stream/drain 6m to W, bordered by a road. A prominent, sod-covered circular rise (diam. 14.4m; H 0.8m) composed of aa concentration of stones in black, charcoal-rich soil. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 December 2021

In average pasture, located on a rise, with a band of wet, rush-grown ground c. 10m to E–SE. Raised circular area (35m N–S; 34.5m E–W) defined by a high scarp (Wth slope 3.4m at E, 4.6m at W; H 2.35m at E, 2.45m at W). A property fence on a NE–SW axis crosses the NW edge of the rath. On the NW side of this fence there is a parallel field ditch (Wth 1.8; D 0.45m). The rath interior is level, traversed by faint relict cultivation ridges on a NE–SW axis. A slumped section (Wth c. 3m) of scarp at SSW that may be the site of an original entrance. According to local tradition, there is a souterrain (MA091-003001-) in the rath.

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.
