Recorded monuments

• MA092-087 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on the top of a ridge at the break of slope on the SSW side, with good views over undulating terrain. There is an expanse of flat, damp pasture at the base of the slope S–SW. This possible rath is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; a semicircular hachured area curving SE−NW is shown on the 1917 edition. The remains consist of a slightly raised, roughly circular area (36.4m NNW–SSE) defined SE–N by a scrap (H 2.3m at S, 1.4m at W). The scarp is replaced by later field fences at N–E, but it can be traced as a low undulation E–SE. Past quarrying into the ridge slope at S has truncated a section of the scarp at S–SSW. The interior is level, grassy and featureless. The scarp is ringed with hawthorn and scrub. There was a vernacular farmstead immediately to NE; a modern farmstead is located immediately to SW.

• MA093-104 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In pasture, located at the base of a SE-facing ridge slope, on level ground bordering an area of wet, boggy ground. There is a pool or spring 5m to SE adjacent to a field fence. A low, sod-covered roughly oval mound (c. 8m NNE–SSW; 5m WNW–ESE; H c. 0.4m) with a slight depression at NW. The mound is composed of shattered stone in black, charcoal-rich, peaty soil. It grades imperceptibly into the surround ground and its full original extent is unclear. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 June 2022
