Recorded monuments

• MA071-085 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In wettish pasture, located a few meters E of a N-flowing stream. A concrete wall lies a few meters N of the rath bordering the N5. Bohola village is located immediately to W. Raised circular area (32m N−S; 32m E−W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.35m at N; int. H 0.45m at N, 1.1m at E; ext. H 1.8 at N). The bank is cut vertically externally and is consistently high (1.8-2m) and relatively narrow (2.5-3m) around its circuit. Internally, the bank is highest on the E arc, and is very low on the W half, reduced almost to a scarp. A hint of a depression (Wth c. 2.5m) outside the bank, clearest at W, may indicate a fosse. There is a gap (Wth 1m) at NE, but it is not clear if this is an original entrance; several narrow gaps around the circuit have been eroded by cattle. The interior is fairly level, with a very slight slope down from centre to the NE quadrant. The bank is ringed with ash and sycamore trees, and there are a few blackthorn bushes in the interior.

• MA071-086 Enclosure
  Description

  Located in rough, rush-grown pasture, in the NW corner of a modern rectilinear field. A circular embanked enclosure (diam. 20-25m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, clipped at W by a N−S field boundary and incorporated into an E−W townland boundary on its N arc; it is not shown on later map editions. The enclosure had been levelled. A curving section of field fence (L c. 16m; Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m), outside which is a shallow fosse-like depression (Wth 2m; D 0.4m), may preserve the SSW–NNW arc of a circular enclosure. The fence is engulfed in overgrowth and difficult to examine, but it appears to be constructed of earth and stone. A very shallow curve is also evident in the intersecting E−W field boundary/townland boundary at N. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 August 2021
