• MA071-130 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In average pasture, located on a N–S ridge, utilising the steep fall of ground to W. There is s stream at the base of the slope 120m to W; the townland boundary coincides with the course of the stream. This rath is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; a hachured outline is shown on the 1931 edition. Roughly circular area (33m E–W) defined by an earthen bank, incorporating some stone. At N–ESE the bank (Wth 3.5–4m; int. H 0.5-0.7m; ext. H 1.4m) is well defined, and has a broad external slump. It becomes increasingly low and degraded SE–SSW, and at W is reduced to a scarp (H 1.2m) with a slight stony internal lip (Wth 2m). The external slope of the rath merges with the natural ridge slope at SW-W. Stone tumble is visible on the slope in parts. The interior slopes down from the centre to NE–E. Lintelled openings into a souterrain (MA071-030001-) are evident in the centre of the interior and in the bank at W. A field wall on an ENE–WSW axis crosses the S half of the interior. An old trackway skirts the W side of the rath, slightly truncating the base of the bank at NNW. The ridge slope immediately to W of the rath has been partly quarried away. The rath is generally rather dilapidated in appearance, with the interior largely obscured by blackthorn scrub. The NE quadrant remains grassy and relatively of overgrowth.

• MA071-130001 Souterrain
  Description

  In a rath (MA071-030----). A surface depression (2m E–W; 1.2m N–S) with a lintelled opening (Wth 0.9m; H 0.6m) at its W end is located slightly NW of centre in the rath interior. The opening reveals a subterranean passage of dry-stone construction, which extends to the W. It most likely links up with a second lintelled opening (Wth 0.5m; H 0.3m) visible 10m to SW in the external face of the rath bank. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 August 2021

• MA071-152 Enclosure
  Description

  In a dense thicket of blackthorn, located at the steep break of slope on the SW side of a ridge, with excellent views. A circular embanked enclosure is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; a penannular enclosure, open to NW, and incorporated onto later field walls is shown on the 1931 edition. Dense overgrowth impeded examination of this roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m). Remnants of an enclosing wall or stone bank (Wth c. 1.8m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 0.6m, at NE) composed of limestone stones and boulders can be glimpsed at N–NE and at SW where it merges with the break of slope. The interior is largely impenetrable, but appears to be relatively level, broken in parts by limestone boulders or bedrock. According to local tradition, there is a children’s burial ground (MA071-152001-) here. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 September 2021

• MA071-152001 Children's burial ground
  Description

  According to local tradition, a children’s burial ground known as ‘Lár na Leanabh’ is located at or close to an enclosure (MA071-152----). A hawthorn tree 5m to SE of the enclosure at SE is said to be a sacred tree. An oblong, sod-covered heap (5m NE–SW; 3m NW–SE; H 0.8m) of stones encircles the base of the tree.

• MA071-153 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the NE-facing slope of a ridge, with very good views at N−E. Roughly circular area (estimated diam. 20-25m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.5m at SW) at SW−N, and by a scarp (H 2-2.5m at NE) at NNW−SE, with a pronounced external slope on the NE arc. The bank/scarp incorporates stones, some at least of which along the top and on the slope may be field clearance stones. The rath appears to have been built up on the E half to compensate for the hill slope and create a level interior. It is engulfed in a dense thicket of blackthorn, hawthorn and brambles; the centre of the interior is impenetrable. A post-and-wire fence set in the scarp encircles the site. A large quarry has encroached to within a few meters of the rath on its S side. There is an enclosure (MA071-152----) 270m to W. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 September 2021

• MA071-204 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In pasture, located on the level top of a NW–SE ridge, with a steep fall of ground to SE and more gradual slope to NE. Extensive views W–E. An enclosure (MA071-152----) and children’s burial ground (MA071-152001-) are 25m to S on the same ridge top. The area is strewn with limestone boulders. Slightly raised circular area (5.5m N–S; 5.8m E–W) defined by a stone kerb (H 0.4-0.7m). The kerb is composed of close-set, occasionally contiguous, limestone boulders of irregular size and shape. A kink in the field fence which lies immediately to SSE appears to respect the curve of the monument. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 September 2021
