- MA062-027 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, located on a rise, overlooking an expanse of grassland and bog. The ground falls away gently to N for c. 250m toward the River Moy. A tributary stream of the Moy is located 270m to E. The fields to W of the rath are planted with forestry. Raised, roughly circular area (23.6m N–S; 26m E–W) defined by an earthen scarp (Wth slope 1.3m at N, 3m at S; ext. H 1.5m at N, 2.2m at S). The scarp is well-defined. It has a broadly slumped slope at E–S, but elsewhere there is a rather vertical cut to the scarp, suggesting relatively recent modification. A small portion of the external slope has been dug away at N, and areas of erosion by farm stock are evident in parts, revealing that the rath is constructed of silty sandy soil. The interior has a slight slope from the centre to the SW. A slight linear feature, possibly the remnant of a bisecting field fence, extends through the centre of the interior on a NE-SW axis. The interior is grass-covered; hawthorn and brambles ring the perimeter, with gorse at E. An old farm trackway, flanked by field fences, clips the outer edge of the rath.

- MA062-028 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, located on level ground, with a fall of ground for c. 75m to E and NE towards a stream, which marks the townland boundary. There is a derelict farmstead in the adjoining field to NE and a modern cottage and garden immediately to SW. The NW−N edge of the rath is clipped by a road. This rath, which is known locally as ‘Listerlahan’, consist of a raised, roughly circular area (25m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by an earthen scarp (H 0.4m). At N−NE the scarp (H 2.2m) is significantly higher, enhanced by a natural fall of ground. At N a section of the scarp presents an almost vertical face where it drops to the road –this is clearly the result of modification during the road construction. An outer enclosing element, probably a fosse, is shown curving around the SW arc of the rath on the 1919 OS 6-inch map, but this is no longer evident. A semi-circular hollow (6.8m E-W; 5.6m N-S; D 0.6m) at the N edge of the interior immediatly adjacent to the enclosing scarp. According to local information, ‘an opening’ was visible once visible in the exterior slope of the scarp below this depression. This may be evidence of a souterrain (MA062-028001-). A roughly semi-circular area (7.5m E-W; 5m N-S) has been dug out of the scarp on the S side of the rath. The interior is grassy; hawthorn rings the perimeter.

- MA062-028001 Souterrain
Description
In a rath (MA062-028). According to local information, at one time ‘an opening’ was visible in the exterior slope of the scarp on the N side of the rath. Immediately above this location, there is a semi-circular hollow or sunken area (6.8m E-W; 5.6m N-S; D 0.6m) in the interior. This may mark the location of a souterrain.
