Recorded monuments

• MA038-082 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a ridge, close to the break of slope on the SE where the slope falls to an area of wet, boggy ground. The townland boundary is c. 30m to S. Named ‘Rathnaguppan’ on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps, this rath consists of a raised circular area (25.2m NE–SW; c. 25m NW–SE) defined by a bank (W 5-5.5m; int. H 0.4-0.45m; ext. H 1.7m) of gravelly earth. A few stones protrude randomly from the inner face of the bank, possibly remnants of a kerb or facing. The interior is level and featureless. A gap (Wth 3m) in the bank at SSE may indicate the original entrance. The perimeter id ringed with hazel, blackthorn and hawthorn. There is another rath (MA038-083----) c. 90m to SSW, and a standing stone (MA038-150----) 80m to W. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 August 2019

• MA038-150 Standing stone
  Description

  In pasture, in undulating terrain with Nephin Mountain dominating the skyline at SSW. This standing stone has split into two. It now consists of two close-set, upright stone slabs, with their long axes parallel and oriented NW–SE. The NW slab (H 1.7m; Wth 1.9m; T 0.3m) is vertical, with a gap of 0.2m separating it from the SE slab (H 1.25m; Wth 2.02m; T 0.35m at base), which leans slightly to SE. The intervening gap is partly infilled with soil and stones. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 August 2019

• MA038-186 Burnt mound
  Description

  In damp pasture, located adjacent to a natural spring, named ‘Tobernagawna’ on 1922 OS map. A low, irregular rise (diam. c. 6m), with an uneven sod and moss-covered surface, lies on the N side of a NNE-SSW field ditch/drain (D 0.4m). The mound is truncated on its S edge by the drain, and appears to incorporate upcast from the drain, making it difficult to determine its original plan and dimensions. A layer of shattered stone in a charcoal-rich matrix is visible at the base of both section faces of the drain. A low field bank, topped with a post and wire field fence, borders the N side of the field drain. Another burnt mound (MA038-187----) is 20m to SSE.
