Recorded monuments

• MA082-027 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, straddles an E–W rise in gently undulating terrain. This circular rath (33m N–S; c. 34m E–W) is centrally bisected by a N-S property fence. To E of the fence the rath has been levelled, and its original outline is discernible only as a slight curving undulation. To W of the fence, the rath survives as a slightly raised D-shaped area (33m N–S; 18m E–W to fence) defined by a curving earthen scarp (H 0.8m at W, 1.2m at N), which retains remnants of a broad internal lip. Outside the scarp is a shallow fosse (Wth 3m), bordered externally at S–W by a low stony rise (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.2-0.35m; ext. H 0.2-0.3m) that may be remnants of an external bank. At NNW an E–W field fence merges with the rath, truncating the fosse and external bank. The N–S fence, which defines the straight E side of the extant W half of the rath, is bordered on its W side by a parallel field ditch cutting through the rath interior. The interior ground surface in the W half is uneven, broken in parts by stones. There is a roughly circular depression (diam. c. 3m) at NW, and another shallow depression (max. dims. c. 7m) at SW. The entrance to the rath appears most likely to have been on the levelled E half. On the W half, hazel and hawthorn grow on the bank, and brambles encroach on the interior; the levelled E half is grass covered. There is a rath (MA082-025----) 280m to W and a possible cashel (MA082-044----) 180m to SSW. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 February 2018

• MA082-044 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In pasture, located on a slight rise in gently undulating terrain. This ringfort, possibly the remnants of a cashel is not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. The remains consists of a roughly circular area (c. 26m N–S; c. 29m E–W) crossed roughly centrally by a N–S field fence. To W of the fence, the enclosure has been levelled, its outline discernible only as slight grass-covered surface undulation. To E of the fence, a slightly raised semi-circular area (26m N–S; 13.5m E–W) is defined by a low, partly sod-covered stony rise (Wth c. 3.4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m), probably remnants of a wall; the interior is stony and covered in blackthorn scrub. There is a rath (MA082-027----) c. 190m to N.
