• MA071-040 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a rise overlooking a stream 20m to N. There is a disused railway track 50m to SE. Raised oval area (26.3m E−W; 22.9m N−S) defined by a scarp (H 0.8m at S, 2.4m at N; Wth slope 1.6m at S, 5m at N). The scarp has been levelled at NE−E (Wth 8m), is low and uneven on the SE arc and has been disturbed at W where a field fence that abutted it was removed. It is best preserved and retains a pronounced external slope at NW−NE, where it is enhanced by the natural fall of ground. The rath is rather dilapidated; field boundaries which abutted the rath at SE, SW and N have been removed and field clearance debris is dumped on the rath. Another rath (MA071-039----) is located on the opposite side of the stream, 100m to W. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 July 2021

• MA071-041 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a low ridge at break of slope on the SW side. There is a stream 120m to SE. A large oval embanked enclosure (35-40m N−S; 25-30m E−W), probably a rath, is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. It has been levelled. The location is now crossed by field fences and it is overlain by farm buildings at its N end. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 July 2021

• MA071-042 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a ridge overlooking a stream 80m to S. This rath was fully excavated (92E0152) in 1992-3 in advance of the construction of the N5 Swinford by-pass (Walsh 1995, 7-8). Prior to excavation, the rath was evident as an oval area (35m N−S; 30m E−W) defined by an earthen bank. The bank was levelled in the 1970’s and very little of it remained. Excavation revealed that the bank had an external fosse (Wth 2.9-4.7m at top; D 1.1-1.8m). The foundations of three circular structures (int. diam. 3.6-4.6m), interpreted as houses (MA071-042001-; MA071-042002-; MA071-042003-), were uncovered in the W half of the interior. An iron-smelting pit-furnace (MA071-0142004-) was found in the S half of the rath interior, with associated finds of furnace bottoms and smelted, unforged iron. Artefacts recovered included iron nails, hooks and a knife, a bronze stick pin, a fragment of a polished lignite bracelet, a stone bead and a yellow glass bead, and an assemblage of flint and chert implements. Animal bones were also recovered. While many of the artefacts fit comfortably in the early medieval era, the charcoal samples taken from the house foundation trenches produced radiocarbon dates placed firmly in the Iron Age period: House 1 191 cal. BC–cal. AD 2 House 2 200 cal. BC–cal. AD 140 House 3 192 cal. BC–cal. AD 58 (Walsh, G. 1995) Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 July 2021

• MA071-042001 House - Iron Age
  Description

  Located in the W half of a rath (MA071-042----). This house was discovered and fully excavated in 1992-3 during excavation (92E0152) of the rath in advance of the construction of the N5 Swinford by-pass (Walsh 1995, 7-8). It consisted of a circular structure (int. diam. 3.5-4m) defined by a foundation trench. No occupation surface survived but charcoal found in the foundation trench appeared to represent the burnt remains of structural timbers. Radiocarbon analysis of the charcoal produced an Iron Age date: 191 cal. BC–cal. AD 2. Two similar circular houses (MA071-042002-; MA071-042003-) were located immediately to S. (Walsh 1995, 7-8).

• MA071-042002 House - Iron Age
  Description

  Located in the W half of a rath (MA071-042----). This house was fully excavated in 1992-3 during excavation (92E0152) of the rath in advance of the construction of the N5 Swinford by-pass (Walsh 1995, 7-8). It consisted of a circular structure (diam. c. 3.5) defined by a foundation trench. No occupation surface survived but charcoal found in the foundation trench appeared to represent the burnt remains of structural timbers. Radiocarbon analysis of the charcoal produced an Iron Age date: 200 cal. BC–cal. AD 140. Two similar circular houses (MA071-042001-; MA071-042003-) were located immediately to N and E, respectively. (Walsh 1995, 7-8). Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 July 2021

• MA071-042003 House - Iron Age
  Description

  Located in the W half of a rath (MA071-042----). This house was discovered and fully excavated in 1992-3 during excavation (92E0152) of the rath in advance of the construction of the N5 Swinford by-pass (Walsh 1995, 7-8). It consisted of a small circular structure (diam. c. 3.5) defined by a foundation trench. No occupation surface survived but charcoal found in the foundation trench, appeared to represent the burnt remains of structural timbers. Radiocarbon analysis of the charcoal produced an Iron Age date: 92 cal. BC–cal. AD 58. Two similar circular houses (MA071-042001-; MA071-042002-) were located immediately to N and W, respectively.
