• MA063-032 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough stony pasture, located on a rocky rise, which provides good views in all directions, especially to N. This enclosure, possibly a cashel, consists of a roughly circular area (int.: 23.1m N−S; 24m E−W) defined by a drystone wall. It has been incorporated in to a later system of field walls, and now spans almost the full E-W width of a modern rectangular field. The enclosing wall (Wth 0.6-1m; int. H 1m) is narrow and roughly constructed of medium sized stones, with some large boulders in the basal layers; it resembles nearby field walls in construction and size. It appears, when viewed from the exterior, to sit on a broad sod-covered plinth of stones, which projects beyond the exterior edge of the wall. This may be the remnants of an original enclosing stone wall/bank, with a possible original width of c. 2m. On the N arc the plinth has a pronounced external scarp (H c. 1.6m) merging with the natural slope. At S−SE the scarp lower and is defined by a low kerb of large stones. It is possible that this stony plinth incorporates an accumulation of field clearance stones. There is no clearly entrance gap; current access is through a narrow, tumbled break at NNW. The interior has a rough, uneven surface, which reflects the natural contours of the rise; it is highest at N, sloping down from there to the W, with a more pronounced slope to NE and E. A small area of rock outcropping breaks the surface in the centre. The interior is planted with conifers. There is an old quarry pit (8-10m across) a few meters downslope to N of the enclosure.

• MA063-058 Enclosure
  Description

  In rocky pasture, encompassing a slight natural rise. There is rising ground to S and SW, and a gradual fall of ground to N and NE. This enclosure is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is shown on the 1920 edition as a roughly D-shaped enclosure incorporated in to the S end of a rectangular field. Slightly raised roughly D-shaped area (int. 26m NNE−SSW; 34.6m WNW−ESE) defined at NW−NE by a curving drystone wall and at E, S and W by straight drystone walls. The curving portion of the wall does not have a smooth regular arc, but is undulating or kinked. The enclosing walls (Wth 1-1.4m; int. H 0.5m at NNE, 1.4m at SSW; ext. H 0.8 at W, 1.6m at SSW) are constructed of medium sized stone rubble, and are similar in size and form to adjacent field walls. There is a break (Wth 2.2m) at ESE and another (Wth 0.7m) at WMW. The interior has a slight slope down to N, and has an uneven surface, dotted with a few sod-covered boulders. A large heap of field clearance stones is piled against the exterior of the enclosure at NE. It is difficult to be certain about the nature/date of this enclosure. It is not shown on the 1838 map, and the current enclosing walls appear to be no earlier than other field walls in the area, i.e. probably 19th century in date, but it is possible that they have subsumed the remains of an early subcircular or oval enclosure. Another enclosure (MA063-032----) is located c. 125m to SW. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 October 2020
