Recorded monuments

• MA073-006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located at the NW end of a low NW–SE ridge, utilising the break of slope at W–N. Views are good, especially to W–NW towards a stream which is 40m to NW. A private road lies immediately to W. Raised, roughly circular area (diam. c. 28-30m) defined E–SW by a low bank; at W–NE the bank has been levelled to a low curving undulation. The bank (Wth c. 3m at SW; int. H c. 0.1m; ext. H 2m at SW, 1.2m at ESE) retains a slight internal rim at E and S but is mainly reduced to a scarp. Stones protrude from the external face at SW. now largely obscured by hawthorn and brambles. The E edge of the enclosure is crossed by a field fence with parallel ditch on a NNE–SSW axis and another field fence on a roughly E−W axis, also with field ditch, cuts across the S edge.

• MA073-007 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, located at the top of a gentle S-facing slope, overlooking gently undulating pasture land and bog. There is rising ground to N. A circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 35m) is shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map, but not on later map editions. It has been levelled, but the outline of S half is still evident as a slightly raised arc (diam. c. 22m E–W) defined by a scarp (H 1m; Wth slope 2m at S) curving WSW–SE, truncated at W by a field fence on NW–SE axis. The interior is level but appears to have been raised on the S half to compensate for the natural slope. There is a hint of a depression (Wth c. 2m) outside the scarp at S, possibly indicating a fosse. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 June 2021
