- MA039-054 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on elevated ground in gently undulating terrain. This possible rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 30m). By the time of the 1930 edition, the enclosing bank at N–E is no longer shown, and the perimeter at W is incorporated into a later NNW–SSE field boundary. The enclosure has since been levelled. A shallow curve in the NNW-SSE field boundary reflects the W arc of the enclosure and may preserve remnants of the original enclosing bank; elsewhere the outline can be traced as a slight surface undulation. There is another possible rath (MA039-055) 60m to SE. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 February 2020
- MA039-055 Ringfort - rath
Description
In improved pasture, located on a low ridge, which provides views of the surrounding gently undulating terrain. This enclosure, which was probably a rath, is indicated on the 1838 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps as an oval embanked enclosure (diam. c. 35m NW–SE; c. 30m NE–SW). On the 1930 edition, a NE–SW field boundary is shown extending across the NW third of the enclosure. The enclosure has been levelled. The NE–SW field boundary is extant. There is no visible trace of the NW third of the enclosure to NW of the fence, apart from a slight rise in ground level immediately adjacent to the fence. To SE of the fence, the outline of a slightly raised semicircular area (22m NW–SE to fence; 31.6m NE–SW) is still evident, representing the SE two thirds of the enclosure. There is another possible rath (MA039-054) 60m to NW. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 February 2020
- MA039-056 Ringfort - rath
Description
Located on a N–S ridge, with a steep fall of ground to E, and a gradual slope to W. The rath is now tightly boxed into a small square field, accessed at the NE corner by a sunken farm track. Slightly raised circular area (30m N–S; 29m E–W0 defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m at W; 3.6m at E; int. H 0.5m at W, 0.45m at E; ext. H 1.8m at W, 1.6m at E). The bank incorporates stones, especially evident on the inner slope at NE–E. It is well preserved, with a steep external face. There is a low eroded section at SW. At S–SSW the external slope of the bank is incorporated into the line of a later E-W field fence. A N-S field fence lies immediately outside the bank at W and an E–W field fence is immediately outside the bank at N. At E a level gap of 8m intervenes between the rath and a N-S field fence, which cuts across the natural E-facing slope of the ridge. At NE a low area (W 1.5m) in the bank, partly blocked with stones, splays outwards (Wth 2.6m) beyond the line of the bank, where it is roughly faced with stones; this appears to be an entrance feature. The rath interior is level, except for a slight slope down in the NE quadrant. There is a shallow grassed-over subcircular depression (diam. 5m; D 0.4m) against the inner face of the bank at W.
