• MA071-135 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, in sharply undulating landscape of ridges, folds and valleys. Utilises a natural spur on the NW-facing slope of a NNE−SSW ridge. Ground falls away steeply to NW into a narrow gully which opens to S−SE into the broad wet valley of the Gweestion River. Views are also good to N−NE along a flat, wet stream valley. The rath is overlooked by another rath (MA071-136----) which is located 40m upslope to SE on the summit of the ridge. Two other raths (MA071-134----; MA071-137----) are located 230m to NW and 250m to SE, respectively. Raised oval area or platform (27.4m ENE−WSW; 32.8m NNW−SSE) defined by a scarp. The scarp (H 3.7m at W) is cut into and enhanced by the steep ridge slope at S−NNE; here a narrow terrace/gap (Wth 1.4-2m) intervenes between the base of the scarp and the ridge slope –now used as a path by cattle. At NE−SSE the scarp (H c. 1.3m) is topped by an earth and stone field fence (Wth c. 1.4m; H 0.85m). The entrance may have been at ESE, where there is a slump/low area (Wth c. 2m) in the scarp, now blocked by the field fence. There is a slight slope in the interior from centre down to W and SW. A roughly square earth and stone rise/platform (c. 11m N−S; c. 10m E−W) occupies much of the space in the N half of the interior. It is defined on the SW, W and N sides by a low scarp, highest (H 0.85m) at W where it straddles the slight fall in ground level. It is not clearly defined at E and SE, where it merges almost imperceptibly with interior ground level. Blackthorn scrub engulfs the N and NE sides of this feature making it difficult to examine. Blackthorn and gorse bushes grow on the rath perimeter and blackthorn scrub has encroached on the NE quadrant of the interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 September 2021

• MA071-136 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, in sharply undulating terrain, located on top of a ridge, close to the break of slope on the SW side where ground falls steeply into the flat wet valley of the Gweestion River. There are extensive views also to NW and NE. It overlooks another rath (MA071-135----) which is located on a terrace 40m downslope on the NW-facing slope of the ridge. Another rath (MA071-137----) is located 175m to SE. Oval platform (34m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 1.1m at S, 1.6m at N). The scarp has been modified to serve as a field fence by being cut to the vertical and faced with stones. The interior is level. A straight N−S field fence crosses interior from S to centre where it intersects with an E−W fence which extends to W through the NW quadrant. The E half of the rath is engulfed in blackthorn scrub; hawthorn and hazel trees ring the rath perimeter. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 September 2021

• MA071-137 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on top of a NW−SE ridge, close to the break of slope on the SW side, where the ground falls away steeply into a broad flat, wet valley; there are excellent views along the valley. Ground falls way more gently to NE, where the views are somewhat restricted now by trees. A circular embanked enclosure (diam. 25-30m) is shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later maps editions. It has been levelled, but the outline of a slightly raised, roughly circular area (c. 31m NW–SE; 27.7m NE–SW) is still visible. The enclosed scarp is levelled to a low undulation around most of the circuit, but a portion at S−SW (H 1.5m) remains quite well defined where it is enhanced by the ridge slope, and a short length (Wth 2.7m; ext. H 1m) on which a hawthorn tree grows is intact at NW. Remnants of a field fence on a NE−SW axis cross the centre of the interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 September 2021

• MA071-138 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In a thicket of overgrowth in a field of level pasture. The Pollagh River is located c. 200m to E where its course takes a broad bend. A circular embanked enclosure (diam. 15-20m) is shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. It is known locally as 'Lisheen'. This possible barrow consists of a circular, flat topped mound (overall diam. 11m E–W; 10m N–S; H 0.5 at N, 0.7m at W) of earth and stone. The top (diam. c. 5-6m) of the mound is intermittently defined by several low, moss-covered stones protruding from the sod. The stones vary in size; two on the N side are large and appear set in the ground, but there are also smaller stones, some of which may be field clearance. A large boulder abuts the base of the mound at S. Engulfed in blackthorn, hawthorn and brambles; difficult to examine. A low stony rise (6m by 4m; H 0.5m) is located 4m to W, probably a field clearance heap. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 September 2021

• MA071-139 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, utilising a low rise with a fall of ground at W−S, overlooking the Gweestion River which is 60m to E. Views are good to N along the course of the river, which is bordered by an expanse of flat, damp lowlying pasture. Gently rising ground somewhat restricts views to S. This rath is known locally as ‘Lisheen Kelly’. It consists of a circular platform (diam. 28m NNW−SSE) defined by a substantial bank/scarp and enclosed by a fosse with remnants of an external bank at SW. The inner bank (Wth c. 3m at SSE, 3-4m at NNW; int. H 0.45m at SSE, 0.3m at NNW; ext. H 1.3m at SSW, 1.8m at NNW) is reduced to a scarp with a low internal lip; large stones are evident on the inner edge at NE, possibly remnants of a kerb or stone facing. There is a thin scatter of small stones along the top of the bank. The fosse (Wth 3.5-4m) takes the form of a broad terrace (Wth 3.5-4m) at NNW−E, defined on its outer edge by a scarp (H 1.3m) which merges with the natural slope. A short length of earth and stone bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.5m) on the outer edge of the fosse at SW appears to be a remnant of an outer bank. It is truncated at its N end by an area of quarrying (now engulfed in overgrowth) which also cuts across the fosse. The interior is engulfed in blackthorn scrub, densest on the E half. The W half of the interior appears to be very slightly higher than the E half. A very ephemeral linear earthen rise (Wth 1m) extends on a NW−SE axis through the interior beneath the blackthorn bushes, possibly a field bank or a cultivation ridge. The entrance seems most likely to have been on the E side, facing level ground; there is a narrow gap (Wth 1m) at ESE, roughly faced on the S side with stones.

• MA071-140 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on the summit of a ridge with excellent views in all directions. Raised circular area (26m N−S; 27.9m E−W) defined by a bank (Wth 2.1m at SSW, 1.7m at NNE; int. H 0.5m at SSW, 0.9m at NNE; ext. H 1.1m at SSW, 1.5m at NNE). The rath spans the full E−W width of a narrow rectangular field, and the E and W arcs of the rath are incorporated into straight field fences. The bank has been adapted to serve as a field fence, and is high, relatively narrow with an almost vertical external slope, faced in parts with drystone walling. It is topped with a post and wire fence on the W arc. Two narrow breaks (Wth 0.4-0.6m) in the rath bank, one at NNE and one at S, allow passage from the N end of the field through the rath interior to the S part of the field. The original entrance may have been at SE where a length (L 2-3m) of drystone walling now blocks a gap/break in the rath bank. The interior is level, and covered by long hummocky grass.

• MA071-166 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located on a low rise with a gentle slope to W. Good views, especially to W towards the confluence of the Pollagh and Glore Rivers with the Gweestion River. This rath is shown as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; a penannular, hachured area (diam. 25-30m), open to N, is shown on the 1931 edition. It has been levelled. The semi-circular arc (diam. c. 24m) of a levelled scarp can be traced S–NW; it is most distinct at NW (H 0.6m) where it mergers with a field fence of earth and stone, which curves very slightly NNW–NNE. A single hawthorn tree stand on the perimeter at SE Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 September 2021

• MA071-167001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a ridge overlooking the Glore River, which lies c. 50m to S. There is a pronounced fall of ground to S and SW toward the river. The confluence of the Glore and Pollagh Rivers with the Gweestion River is 200m to NW. This rath is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular, embanked enclosure (diam. 35-40m), with 'Caves' marked in the NW quadrant and a vernacular rectangular house truncating the NE edge. It is not shown on the later map edition maps but the house and an associated rectangular field are shown. It has been levelled. The faint outline of a circular area (32m N–S; c. 25–30m E–W) can still be traced. It is most clearly defined at NE−SW where the levelled scarp merges with the natural slope. There is a slight surface depression (diam. c. 5m) in the S half which may be evidence of an underlying souterrain (MA071-167002-). There is an accumulation of field clearance stone at the base of an ash tree growing on the perimeter of the enclosure at the SW. Amongst the stones is a large slab, which may be a displaced souterrain lintel. A hawthorn bush grows on the N edge of the rath. A pronounced hollow abutting the NE of the rath marks the original location of the vernacular house shown on the OS 6-inch maps. There is another rath (MA071-168----) 45m to SE and another (MA071-166----) 140m to NNE –both are levelled. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 September 2021

• MA071-167002 Souterrain
  Description

  Located in a rath (MA071-167001-). A souterrain, marked as 'Caves', is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map in the NW quadrant of the rath. The rath has been levelled but its outline can still be traced. A slight surface depression (diam. c. 5m) in the S half may point to an underlying souterrain. A large slab, possible a displaced roof lintel, is visible amidst an accumulation of field clearance stones at the roots of an ash tree on the SW perimeter of the rath.
