- MA102-032 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, located on a NE–SW undulation with ground falling for c. 10-15m to W to the banks of a stream. There are good views to N–E, with tracts of bog visible to NE; rising undulating ground restricts views to S and SW. There is a railway track c. 20m to N. Roughly oval or D-shaped platform (34.4m NE–SW; 25m NW–SE) defined by a scarp and enclosed by an external fosse. The scarp (ext. H 1.25m at S, 1.8m at NNE) is most pronounced (ext. H 2.9m) at W–NW where it appears almost linear and coincides with the high, steep natural slope. A section (L c. 14m) of the scarp and a portion of the SE quadrant of the interior have been quarried out at SE, evident now as a grassed over depression. The fosse (Wth 3-3.5m) is well defined only at N where it cuts the spine of the rise on which the rath is located; elsewhere it is apparent only as a slight depression, marked by nettles and weeds. The interior is level, with a slight slump in the NE quadrant. The surface exhibits ephemeral traces of cultivation ridges on NNE–SSW axis. Grass and thistle cover, with hawthorn bushes on the scarp. Several animal burrows are evident in the scarp. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 September 2022
- MA102-033 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, in the N corner of a modern field, located in gently rolling terrain. A broad expanse of bog, much of it under forestry, lies c. 200m to N. Views are restricted by the hilly landscape and high field fences. Slightly raised, circular area (29.6m N–S; 31.6m E–W) defined by a bank and enclosed by an external fosse. The bank (Wth c. 4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.4m, at W) has a low internal rim and a well defined external slope, highest (ext. H 0.8m) at E. The fosse is visible as a shallow depression (Wth 3.5-4m), marked by denser vegetation, and is overlain at NW and NE by straight field fences. The rath interior is level. The entrance may have been at SE where there is a broad slump (Wth c. 4m) in the bank, although there is no clearly defined break in the fosse. The interior and bank are planted with mature conifers and the interior has a rather soft, wettish and peaty consistency underfoot. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 September 2022
