• MA102-006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a prominent rise with extensive views in all directions over the surrounding undulating terrain. This well preserved bivallate rath consists of an oval platform (28m NW–SE; 23.5m NE–SW) defined by a scarp (H 1.4m), enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.7m at SW, 2.3m at NE) with an external bank (Wth 1.6m at SW, 2m at NW; int. H 1.1m at SW, 0.45m at NE; ext. H 1.2m at SW, 0.65m at NE). The fosse is evident as a shallow depression marked by a growth of rushes. The low and flat-topped external bank is incorporated at SSE–WNW into a field fence, which respects the curve of the enclosure. The interior has a slightly domed profile, comprising a roughly central flattish area (diam. c. 6m) from which the ground slopes outwards on all sides, with a drop in height from the centre to the perimeter of c. 1m. There is an entrance gap (Wth 3m) at the SE with a causeway across the fosse. According to local tradition, there is a souterrain (MA102-006001-) in the interior. Grass cover, with rushes, gorse, brambles and hawthorn trees around the perimeter. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 September 2022

• MA102-025 Enclosure
  Description

  Located at the edge of a pasture field, immediately adjacent to a farmyard. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 25-30m), abutted at E by two buildings, is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; on the 1916 edition it is indicated only as a S−NW curve in a boundary wall adjacent to a farmstead. A slight semicircular undulation, curving S–W and coinciding with a natural contour, preserves the western arc of the enclosure. The E half appears to have been largely destroyed by the construction of farm buildings. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 26 September 2022

• MA102-026 Enclosure
  Description

  A roughly circular enclosure (diam. 25-30m), marked ‘Pound’, incorporated on the W arc into the townland boundary, is shown on an estate map (NLI Ms. No. 2713) drawn up in 1811 for Sir Robert Lynch-Blosse. It is not indicated on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps, although the semi-circular arc in the townland boundary is shown. The enclosure is defined at SE–N by the townland boundary which consists of an earthen bank (Wth c. 1.4m; H 1.4m) with a field ditch (Wth 1.2m) on the inner edge of the arc. The enclosing element at NE−E has been levelled to a slight curving undulation. The level interior is not noticeably raised. There is a gate in the bank at SW leading to a farm road which skirts the W side of the enclosure. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 26 September 2022
