• MA063-017001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a low rise, providing good views over the surrounding rolling grassland. It lies close to the W boundary of the townland; the Roscommon border, which follows the course of a river, is 800m to E. Broadly oval area (35.8m N−S; 31.5m E−W) defined by an earthen bank. The bank (Wth 5.5m at SW, 4.5m at NE; int. H 0.45 at SW, 0.4m at NE; ext. H 1.6 at SW, 1.7 at NE), which is composed of sandy gravelly soil, is broadly slumped, with a very low internal rim. According to local information, the bank had an internal stone facing, which was robbed out to build field fences. The W half of the interior is level. There is a gently slope down from the centre towards the E, where there is a gap (Wth 4m) in the bank , which may be the location of an original entrance. There are two unconnected souterrain passages in the interior, one at SW (MA063-017002-) and the other at NW (MA063-017003-); they are indicated as ‘Caves’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, but are not shown on the 1920 edition. They appear to represent two souterrains, but it is possible that they are two discrete sections of one souterrain. Grass cover, with a few hawthorn trees on the perimeter.

• MA063-017002 Souterrain
  Description

  Located in the S half of a rath (MA063-017001-). An access hole, now blocked, at ground surface on the inner edge of the rath bank at SW opens into a souterrain passage of drystone construction with lintel roofing. The passage extends to NE through the rath interior for at least 7.5m. According to local information, it slopes upwards from SW to NE, and ends at a blockage. This is one of two apparently unconnected souterrains in the interior of the rath; another souterrain passage (MA063-017003-) is located c. 20m to NW.

• MA063-017003 Souterrain
  Description

  Located in the NW quadrant of a rath (MA063-017001-). An opening at ground surface is evident close to the rath bank at NW. The opening, caused by the displacement of roofing lintels, reveals a short length of souterrain passage or chamber (Wth 1m; L c. 4m NW−SE) with drystone walls and lintel roofing. The passage slopes down from the opening, ending at the NW end in a wall, which appears to underlie the rath bank. This back wall has rounded corners that merge seamlessly with the side walls. This is one of two apparently unconnected souterrains in the rath; another souterrain passage (MA063-017002-) is located c. 15m to SSE. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 7 July 2020
