• MA102-005 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Adjacent to the SW boundary of the townland, in gently undulating pasture interspersed with areas of wettish ground; good but not extensive views. Shown on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. 25-30m). It is named ‘Lisaniska’ on an 1811 estate map (NLI Ms. No. 2713) drawn up for Sir Robert Lynch-Blosse. This enclosure was levelled during land reclamation in the 1970’s. The outline of a circular area (diam. c. 31m) can still be discerned. It is defined by a low undulation representing a levelled bank, outside which is a slight depression (Wth 2.5m) indicating an infilled fosse. A field fence on a NW–SE axis clips the NE edge of the enclosure. There is a rath (MA102-006----) 260m to SE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 September 2022

• MA102-007 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In improved pasture, located on a rise, in undulating terrain with good view, most extensive to NE over an expanse of pasture and bog. This rath is shown on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps as a bivallate enclosure (diam. 25-30m) named ‘Lismoreeva’. It was levelled prior to 1984 (OPW field notes, 1984). The outline of the enclosure can still be discerned as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 40-45m) marked by differential vegetation growth. It encompasses the broad, level top of a prominent natural undulation, and was enhanced by the fall of ground to N. It is overlooked by a rath (MA102-008----) located on rising ground c. 120m to NW, and there is an enclosure (MA102-009----) c. 135m to SE.

• MA102-008 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a gentle, NE-facing elevation. Named ‘Lisnahoowa’ on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps, this rath consists of a circular platform (31.4m N-S; 31m E–W) defined by a substantial earthen bank with an external fosse. The bank (Wth c. 5.5m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1m. at NE) is very low internally, degraded almost to a scarp in parts. The outer edge of the bank at SW–NW has a narrow raised rim (Wth 1.5m; H 0.3m) which stands proud of the rest of the bank top; this appears to be a relatively recent modification resulting from incorporation of the W half of the rath into a field boundary. The fosse is largely infilled, visible only as a slight depression (Wth 2.5m) most clearly seen at NW–N and SE–S. The interior has a slight slope down from centre to E. Several narrow breaks in the bank have been eroded by farm stock, including one (Wth 1.6m) at NW with a rough causeway (probably modern) over the fosse. A large gap (Wth 6m) at E may be the site of the original entrance. The perimeter is thickly ringed with blackthorn, hawthorn and hazel trees, with some encroachment on the interior. Clumps of brambles also occur in the interior. At time of visit, the bank was largely denuded of sod and was broken down in several places by cattle. Field fences which abutted the rath at N and S have been removed. It is overlooked by a rath (MA102-007----), now levelled, located on rising ground 120m to SW, and there is a possible rath (MA102-009----) 125m to SSE.

• MA102-009 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, straddling a natural rise, with good views. Named ‘Lisbaun’ on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps, this probable rath consists of a slightly raised circular area (28.5m E–W; 26.5m N–S) defined by an earthen bank. The bank (Wth 3.5-3.8m; int. H 0.5m at S, 0.8m at N; ext. H 1.7m at S, 2.2m at N) is generally low internally and along much of the E half has been reduced to a scarp. A section (L 3m) at S is faced externally with drystone walling (H 1.6m) as a result of incorporation into a later field boundary, which clipped the rath at SE–S on an NE–SW axis but has since been removed. A field fence that abutted the bank at N has also been removed. The rath is built up on the SE–S side to compensate for the natural slope creating an interior which is relatively level, except for a slight rise in ground level evident in the NW quadrant. Grass cover in the interior; perimeter ringed with gorse and hawthorn. It is overlooked by a rath (MA102-007----), now levelled, located 135m to NW, and there is another rath (MA102-008----) 125m to NNW. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 September 2022

• MA102-010 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved pasture, located on a rise in undulating terrain. This possible rath is shown on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20-25m) named ‘Lisroe’. Levelled during land reclamation; a slight circular undulation (diam. c. 25m) can still be discerned at ground level, crossed at N by a roughly E−W field fence. A N−S farm road lies immediately to E.

• MA102-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, straddling a natural rise, utilising natural contours, in strongly undulating, hillocky terrain; views are most extensive to N–SE over expanses of bog and pasture; overlooked by a hillock to NW. An oval embanked enclosure is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; by the time of the 1916 edition only the NW arc is shown; named ‘Listurkan’. Oval area (c. 75m NE–SW; c. 60m NW–SE) defined W–NNE by a scarp (ext. H 2.7-3m; Wth slope 3m), at NE–E into a substantial earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.55m) which is incorporated into a field fence, and levelled on the S half of the circuit to a faint curving undulation marked by a light growth of rushes. The scarp at W–N utilises the steep natural contours, with a slope dropping into a natural depression of wettish ground bordered by hillocks. The field fence/bank at E retains traces of internal stone facing and peters out at E–SE where it intersects with two field fences forming the corner of an adjoining field. The levelled S arc of the rath is partly overlain by a post and wire fence on an ENE–WSW axis. The interior is generally level, except at NW where a low curving slope or scarp marks a drop in ground level sloping outwards towards the edge of the rath scarp. The original entrance is not evident; it may have been at S–SW where the rath merges with a natural, ramp-like slope. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 September 2022
