• MA092-040 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In improved pasture, utilising a natural rise broken by limestone outcropping. The location affords extensive views, especially to S along a broad valley of flat bog and pasture. Ground rises gently to NE−E. Slightly raised, oval area (44.4m NW–SE; 34.8m NE–SW) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.65m at N, 1.25m at S), outside which it is enclosed by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3.2m at N, 2.7m at S) with an external bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.6m at N, 0.35m at S; ext. H 0.5m). Stone protrude from the inner bank, possibly remnants of stone facing. The less substantial external bank also exhibits evidence of possible internal stone facing, especially at SW–W. Remnants of a field bank (Wth 1.3m; H 0.3m) on a WNW–ENE axis traverses the interior roughly centrally in a gently sinuous curve, with a depression/quarry pit (4m NW–SE; 2m NE–SW; D 0.4m) abutting its S side towards its E end. A larger, deeply quarried pit (20m NW–SE; 8.5m NE–SW; D 1.5m), irregular in plan with stones and boulders protruding from its sides, cuts through the inner bank and extends into the interior at S. Another deep pit (max. dim. c. 10m) truncates the inner bank and the fosse at N. All these quarry pits are now grassed over. The location of the original entrance is unclear. There is a slumped section (Wth 3.6m) of the inner bank at NE; a low break (Wth 1.2) in both the inner and outer banks at SE; and a gap (Wth 3m) in the external bank at the SSE with stones protruding from the terminals. The latter is close to a quarry pit which has truncated the corresponding section of the inner bank. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 March 2022

• MA092-041 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In in pasture in the SE corner of the townland,, crowning a prominent rise, which affords good views over an undulating landscape of pasture and bog. Raised roughly circular area (31m N–S; c. 30-35m E–W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2m, at W; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.75m at W, 1.7m at E, 1.9m at S). The bank shows evidence of modification: the external face has been cut to the vertical and roughly faced with stones (largely tumbled now), and at S–SW and W–NW it has been incorporated into two later field fences. There is a break (Wth 1.4m) at the top of the bank at W, but no clearly defined entrance feature. According to local tradition, there is a souterrain (MA092-041001-) in the rath interior. The interior is engulfed in an impenetrable thicket of brambles, impeding inspection; the bank is thickly ringed with hawthorn and gorse.

• MA092-041001 Souterrain
  Description

• MA092-096 Earthwork
  Description

  In pasture, overlooking to S a flat expanse of bog and reclaimed pasture. Listed in the RMP (1997) as a possible earthwork on the basis of a roughly circular feature visible in an aerial photograph (GSI M 97 -8; Roll 213, pr. 31; SMR file). At this location is a low rounded hillock, domed in profile. Inspected in 1998, the crown of the hill could not be examined due to a dense covering of gorse and brambles. The nature of this feature is uncertain. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 May 2022
