- MA081-046001: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA081-046001-. In pasture on a low rise, with areas of wettish ground to NE and NW and a stream valley c. 100m to SE. The townland boundary coincides with the N−S course of the stream. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Broadly oval area (38m N-S; 35.6m E-W) defined SSW−NNW by gravelly earthen scarp (Wth c. 4m; ext. H 1.45m) with a slightly raised rim (int. H 0.35m); at N−SE the scarp has been levelled but is still discernible as a slight surface undulation; at SE−S it is incorporated into a defunct field bank that respects the curve of the enclosure. A short section (L 7m) of scarp at SW is topped with a partly sod-covered jumble of stones (Wth 1.5m; H 0.2m). A spine of raised ground (23m N-S; 17.4m E-W; H 1.3 at E, 1.6 at W) extends on a NNW-SSE axis through the centre of the interior. It has a narrow flatten top from which there is a marked slope to NW and W and a more gradual slope to E and SE. Traversing the centre of the raised spine, is a roughly N−S gapped single line of boulders, remnants of a defunct field boundary that originally continued beyond the enclosure. Towards the N end of the spine, immediately to E of the line of boulders, is a semi-circular or roughly L-shaped setting (c. 2m across) of partially sod-covered stones, open to NNE. The central raised spine encompasses most of the interior of the enclosure, leaving a relatively narrow berm-like strip of fairly level interior space between it and the enclosing scarp. Within this level strip at SE is a small circular feature (diam. 2m) defined by a low sod-covered stony rim (Wth 0.2-0.4m) of small stones. According to local information, this enclosure may have been used as a children’s burial ground (MA081-046002-). Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 December 2021

In a possible rath (MA081-046001-). There may have been a children’s burial ground at this enclosure (pers. comm. Leo Morahan). There are no obvious traces of gravemarkers or burials.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
