• MA022-062 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, located on a low rise bordered at SW by a flat expanse of wettish pasture. Slightly raised circular area (26.8m N–S; 25.8m E–W) defined by a low earthen scarp. Outside the scarp there is ephemeral evidence that that the rath may be enclosed by at least one fosse and external bank: a band (Wth 4-4.5m) of dense rushes and irises, which appears slightly sunken (D 0.25m) on the SW arc, encircles the rath, probably indicating a fosse; outside this at S–W there is a band (Wth 3.5-4.8m) of flat, grassy ground, outside which are more rushes (Wth 4-5m) and then gently rising ground. It is possible that the flat grassy strip represents a levelled external bank, however, it cannot be traced around the full circuit of the enclosure. The rath interior has a gently domed profile, with a slope down from the centre (height above ext. ground level 0.6m at S, 0.85m at N) towards the encircling scarp. The entrance may have been at S, where there is a poorly defined slump in the scarp and a corresponding rise (Wth 4-5m), possibly a causeway, traversing the band of rushes, and leading towards gently rising dry ground. The rath is rather degraded, and is dotted with clumps of gorse and brambles. There is a field drain, on a NE–SW axis, a few meters to N of the rath.

• MA022-078 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located in a small, shallow E-W stream valley, at the base of a gentle S-facing slope. A canalised stream/drain lies immediately to S of the rath and serves as the S boundary of the townland. On the opposite side of the stream, ground rises in a slightly steeper slope. Views are relatively open E–W along the valley, but restricted by the rising ground to N and S. Slightly raised, roughly circular area (21m E–W; 23m N–S) enclosed by a degraded earthen bank (Wth c. 3m at N, 3.6m at S; int. H c. 0.3m at N, 0.4m at S; ext. H 0.6m at N, 1.2m at S). The bank is fairly well defined on its external slope, especially on the S half, but it retains only a low internal lip, and in parts at ESE–SE and at W–NW is reduced to a low scarp. A band (Wth 2.5m) of rushes outside the bank at the NE arc may mark the line of an infilled fosse, but it cannot be traced around the complete circuit. The interior is level. There is a slight circular depression (diam. c. 2m) just S of centre. The original entrance appears to have been at E where there is a gap (Wth 2m). Grass cover, with a few hawthorn trees on the bank at S. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 3 May 2019
