- MA071-049 Ringfort - rath
Description
On pasture, located on top of a rise in undulating terrain, with a drain/stream 60m to S. Views are good generally, most extensive to SW over a basin of lowlying ground. It is within a dispersed cluster of several raths (MA071-043----; MA071-044----; MA071-045----; MA071-048----; MA071-050----; MA071-051----; MA071-052001-; MA071-111----), all located within 200-500m of each other in the surrounding landscape. Raised circular platform (29m N−S; 29.8m E−W) defined by an earthen scarp (H 1.6m at NE, 2m at S; Wth slope 3.2m at NE, 4.5m at SW). The scarp is high, with a broad external slump for most of the circuit. It retains a hint of an internal stony lip (Wth 1.5-1.8m) in parts on the W arc. A slight depression (Wth 2.5-3m) is evident outside the scarp at S−SW, possibly indicating a fosse. The interior is level and grassy, with remnants of a field wall on a NE−SW axis crossing the SE edge. Slightly to NE of centre, there is an oval depression (3.8m NNE−SSW; 2.8m WNW−ESE; D 0.4m) with a slightly raised lip on its NE edge. Smaller irregular-shaped hollows extend intermittently to NNE of this for 2.5m, ending at a cluster of stones protruding from the sod close to the top edge of the rath scarp at NE. These features are of uncertain significance –they might indicate a souterrain or simply be the result of disturbance in the relatively recent past. The rath perimeter is lightly ringed with hawthorn, brambles and gorse. There are several areas of erosion of the scarp by farm stock, especially at SE−S. A farm road on a NW−SE axis lies a few meters to NE of the rath. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 22 July 2021
- MA071-050 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, located on top of an E−W ridge, at the break of slope on the steep S-facing slope. There are excellent views over a basin of lowlying ground to SW. Views are more restricted to NE over undulating terrain. The rath is at the centre of a dispersed cluster of raths (MA071-045----; MA071-048----; MA071-049----; MA071-051----; MA071-052001-; MA071-053001-; MA071-111----), all located within 200-500m of each other. Raised earthen platform (32m NNE−SSW) defined by a scarp (H 2.6m at S, 1.8m at N; Wth slope 4m at S, 2m at N) and enclosed by a fosse (Wth 3.8m at s, 3m at N) with an external bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m at S). A field fence overlies the inner edge of the outer bank, mirroring its curve; this marks the townland boundary between Tullanacorra at S and Ballyglass at N. A dilapidated ramp-like slope (Wth 2.8m) in the scarp at SE most likely represents an original entrance. It drops to a low rise or causeway across the fosse with a corresponding rough gap (Wth 1.6m) in the external bank. The rath is thickly ringed by hazel and hawthorn trees. The E half of the interior is grassy, the W half covered in an impenetrable thicket of blackthorn and brambles. There is a quarry pit immediately outside the external bank at N.

- MA071-051 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, at the junction of four modern rectangular fields, located on top of a ridge at the break of slope on the N side. There are extensive views NW−NE over a broad expanse of lowlying pasture stretching N from the base of the ridge, with undulating terrain beyond that. Raised circular area (30m N−S; 31m E−W) defined by two earthen banks with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.8m at WSW) is well preserved on the W half, where it is incorporated into a field fence and exhibits remnants of rough stone facing on the external slope. It is reduced to a scarp (ext. H 1.9m at NE, 1.4m at SE) elsewhere. The fosse (Wth 3m at WSW, 4m at NE) and external bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.5m) are well defined on the W half of the rath; on the E half, the fosse is evident as a shallow depression, and the external bank has been levelled at NNE−SE and it is incorporated into a field fence at S−SW. There is a dilapidated slump/break (Wth c. 1.6m), now partly obscured by a field fence, at SE where the enclosing bank/scarp is lowest; it may indicate an original entrance. The rath is ringed with hawthorn and blackthorn trees and brambles, with the densest concentration at E‒SW. The interior is grassy. Later field fences radiate from the rath to N, E S and W. Two raths (MA071-050----; MA071-053001-) are located 120m to SW and 185m to E, respectively, and several other raths are located in in dispersed cluster in the surrounding hinterland, all within a radius of 500m.

- MA071-052001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, located on a fairly level terrace or undulation on the SW side of a ridge, which provides very good views to SW. There is rising ground to N−NE. Roughly circular area (diam. 28.4m N−S) defined by a scarp. The scarp, which retains a slight internal lip at NE, is enhanced at S−W by the natural fall of the ridge slope, but is low and dilapidated generally. At NE−SE it is incorporated into a field fence which flanks a N−S farm road. The E half of the interior is level and grassy. There is no trace of a souterrain (MA071-052002-) indicated as ‘Cave’ in the W half of the rath on the 1838 and 1931 OS 6-inch maps. Three roughly circular or oval quarry pits in a roughly N−S row cut through the W half of the interior. Each pit extends from the perimeter scarp towards the centre of the rath interior, and is ringed by much loose stone and overgrowth. The pits measure: Southernmost pit (c. 6m N−S; 4.5m E−W; D 0.6m) Middle pit (diam. c. 8m; D 1m) Northern pit (10m NW−SE; 8.4m NE−SW; D 1.5-1.8m) The rath perimeter is thickly ringed by hawthorn, blackthorn and brambles. There is an E−W field drain (Wth 1m; D 1m) at the base of the scarp on the N side of the rath; and an old farm track/lane, flanked by field fences, skirts the base of the slope on the S side of the rath. It is located within a dispersed cluster of raths, all within a radius of c. 500m. The closest raths (MA071-051----; MA071-050----; MA071-111----) are located 230m to N; 175m to NW and 200nm to SW, respectively. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 July 2021

- MA071-053001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, located on top of a ridge, at the break of slope on the N side. There are extensive views over a broad expanse of lowlands stretching NW−NE, and less extensive views to W. To S views are restricted by the rising slope to the ridge summit. Raised circular area or platform (38.8m N−S; 38m E−W) defined by a bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m) at NE−SE and elsewhere by a scarp (ext. H 2m at N, 1.2m at S; Wth slope 3m at N, 1.7m at S). A hint of a depression (Wth c. 3m) at the foot of the bank at E may indicate a fosse, but cannot be traced elsewhere around the circuit. The centre and W half of the interior are level and at a higher level that the E half. There is a slight slope down from centre towards a somewhat dilapidated entrance gap (Wth 2.5m) at NE. A low ramp-like slope extends outwards from the entrance gap. A possible house (MA071-053003-), in the form of a low rectangular platform (6m NE−SW; 6.6m NW−SE) defined by sod-covered stony scarp (H 0.4m), is located in the centre of the interior. A low E-facing scarp (H 0.4m), with occasional stones protruding from it, extends from the E corner of the possible house to the rath scarp at SE, creating a subdivision in the rath interior, defining slightly lower ground level in the SE quadrant. Adjacent to the SW end of the possible house, there is a souterrain (MA071-053002-), marked as ‘Cave’ on the 1838 and 1931 OS 6-inch maps. It is evident as length of collapsed delintelled passage (L 2m NW−SE; Wth 0.8-1m; D c. 0.6m), with lintelled openings at either end leading into an intact passage. A shallow, irregular-shaped depression (2m NE−SW; 1m NW−SE; D 0.3m) abrades the S corner of the rectangular platform/possible house. This may also be part of the souterrain. The rath is ringed with hawthorn trees. Four field fences abut the rath on the N arc. There is an area of disturbance/small scale quarrying of the slope immediately outside the rath at NW−N. A farm track skirts the rath at S−SW. Two raths (MA071-051----; MA071-058----) are located 190m to W and 120m to SE, respectively, and a dispersed cluster of raths is spread through the surrounding hinterland within a radius of 500-600m Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 July 2021

Description
Adjacent to a possible house (MA071-053003-) located to W of centre in the interior of a rath (MA071-053001-). This souterrain is indicated as ‘Cave’ in the W half of the rath on the 1838 and 1931 OS 6-inch maps. A short, sod-covered length of collapsed, roofless passage (L 2m NW−SE; Wth 0.8-1m; D c. 0.6m) is evident immediately adjacent to the SW end of the possible house. A lintelled opening is visible at each end of the collapsed passage, leading into an intact subterranean passage. The passage has drystone walls and lintel roofing. The NW lintelled opening (Wth 0.85; H 0.45m) reveals a passage which extends to NNW and then appears to swing to NW. The floor level appears to slope down from a point c. 2m from the opening. Areas of slight surface subsidence in the NW quadrant suggest that the passage extends towards the rath scarp at NW. A shallow irregular-shaped depression (2m NE−SW; 1m NW−SE; D 0.3m) is located 2m SE of the collapsed souterrain passage, at the S corner of the possible house. This may also be a collapsed part of the souterrain. A small opening is visible in its SW side. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 July 2021

Description
In the centre of a rath (MA071-053001-.) A low, sod-covered rectangular platform (6m NE−SW; 7.6m NW−SE) defined by a sod-covered stony scarp (H 0.4m), which has a slight internal lip (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.1m). It’s function is uncertain, but it may be the remains of a house. A souterrain (MA071-053002) is located immediately to SW of the platform. A low stony scarp (H 0.4m), extends from the E corner of the house to the rath scarp at SE, demarcating a slight drop in ground level in the SE quadrant of the rath.

- MA071-054001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, located on gently rising ground, overlooked by a ridge to SSW. There are good views W−N where ground falls away gradually into a natural basin of damp pasture. Depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure, crossed to SE of centre by a field boundary oriented NE−SW; it is shown on the 1931 edition as a semicircular enclosure bordered on the SE side by the NE−SW field boundary, indicating that by this date the SE third of the rath had already been levelled. The remains consist of a broadly oval area (c. 28m NE−SW; 23m NW−SE) defined on the NW half by a scarp (H 1.4m; Wth slope 2.7m, at W) which is well preserved at W but reduces in height towards the NE and SW ends of its arc. At NE-S the scarp has been levelled to a barely discernible undulation. A field fence on a NE−SW axis crosses the rath to SE of centre. There is a souterrain (MA071-054002-) in the NW quadrant of the rath interior, indicated as ‘Cave’ on the 1838 and 1931 OS 6-inch maps. A field boundary on a roughly N-S axis which crossed the NE edge of the rath has been removed. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 July 2021

Description
In pasture, located on a rise on a broad, undulating ridge, with extensive views over lowlying ground to NW−NE. Views are good also to S. The ridge top rises gradually to W, and trees and a farmstead now block views to E. This rath is shown as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1838 and 1931 OS 6-inch maps; an outer ring, incorporated into a field boundary at W, is shown on the 25-inch plan. It has been levelled. The outline of a slightly raised, roughly circular area (c. 28m E−W; c. 24n N−S) defined by a levelled scarp can still be traced. On the N arc the scarp merges with the natural ridge slope. The interior slopes down slightly to NE. There is an E−W farm track a few meters to N of the rath. There are raths (MA071-053001-; MA071-059001-) 125m to NW and 200m to SW, respectively. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 July 2021

Description
In pasture, located on a level terrace at the top of the steep SE-facing slope of a ridge, with extensive views over a broad sweep of lowlands at N−SE. There is a gently rise to W-SW towards the ridge summit. Roughly circular platform (29.3m N−S; 27m E−W) defined by a scarp (H 1m at W, 1.4m at E; Wth slope 0.9m at W, 1.8m at E). The scarp retains a slight internal lip on the S arc. At W the scarp is cut to the vertical –this may have been done during the construction of a N-S field fence that lies immediately to W. At N−NE the scarp has been modified to serve as a field fence and is topped by a post-and-wire fence. There are narrow breaks/eroded areas (Wth 1m) at NNW and SSW, and a slightly broader slumped section (Wth 2m) of the scarp at NE, which faces a more gradually slope of the ridge. There is a slight slope down from centre towards the NE and E; this gives the W half/centre of the interior a level, elevated appearance, and is where a souterrain (MA071-059002-) is located. The rath is lightly ringed with gorse, hawthorn trees and brambles; the interior is grassy. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 July 2021

Description
In the W half of a rath (MA071-059001-). This souterrain is indicated as ‘Cave’ on the 1838 and 1931 OS 6-inch maps. A lintelled opening (Wth 0.7m; H 0.78m) is visible in the SW quadrant of the rath interior, set in a slight S-facing slope. It reveals a subterranean passage (L 12.8m; Wth 1.35m; H 1.5m) of drystone construction, extending to N and ending at a vertical wall. The walls are constructed of small and medium-sized stones and slabs horizontally laid in rough courses, with a projecting course of larger stones at the top to support a row of massive overlapping roof slabs. The floor is earthen and is strewn with loose stones. It slopes down just inside the entrance at S, then levels out, before rising again at the blind N end of the passage.

- MA071-111 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, prominently sited on a rise, with with good views, especially to SW–W over a lowlying ground. A stream at the base of the slope 20m to N has been infilled. The rath is in a cluster of raths (MA071-049----; MA071-050----; MA071-052001-) all located within 250m of each other close to the townland boundary at the W end of the townland, and is surrounded by s broader cluster of raths within a radius of c. 500m. Roughly circular Raised area (39.8m E–W; 37.8m N–S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.2m at S, 4m at N; int. H 0.4m at S, 0.2m at N; ext. H 0.9m at S, 2.2m at N). The rath spans the width of a narrow rectangular field and the external face of the bank SW–NNW is incorporated into the NNE–SSW field fence bordering the W side of the field. At NNW–NE the bank drops to a terrace or berm (Wth 5.4m), which becomes progressively narrower and lower from N–NE and peters out at E; it may preserve the remains of a fosse/outer bank. The terrace is defined on its outer edge by a steep scarp (H 2.6m) which appears to be cut into the natural ridge slope. The rath entrance may have been at the E where there is a gap (Wth 2.1m) in the bank. The S terminal of the gap is flanked by an upright slab, and both terminals retain a low stone kerb on their inner edge which continues along the inner face of the bank for several meters to NE and SE. A slightly raised, sub-circular feature (13.4m N–S; 14m E–W) located to NE of centre in the interior may be the foundations of a house (MA071-111001-). Immediately to NNW is a depression (5m WNW; 2.5m NNE; D 0.4m) with a shallower extension for 6m to WNW to a break (Wth 3m) in the bank. Grass cover, with a few hawthorn trees around the perimeter.

Description
In improved pasture, located on a low rise with good views, especially along a stream valley to W-SW. Ground falls gently for c. 50m to NE towards another stream/drain. Raised circular area (diam. 41m N–S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m at E, 4m at W; int. H 0.3m at E, 0.85m at W; ext. H 1.7m at E, 2.2m at W), outside which it is enclosed by a fosse (Wth c. 3m). The fosse is visible as a shallow depression, truncated at the E–SE by a farm track. The interior slopes slightly down to NE–E from a slightly raised central area. To W of centre, there is a souterrain (MA071-112001-), evident as a shallow surface depression with a large slab protruding from the WSW end. A gap (Wth c. 2m) in the bank to SE probably marks the original entrance to the rath. It is now blocked by a later field wall. There are several erosion breaks in the bank caused by farm stock, including one to N (Wth 2m) and one to E (Wth 1.6m). The rath is moderately ringed with hawthorn trees; the interior is open and grassy. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 24 August 2021

Description
In pasture, located on the top of an E−W ridge, close to the S−SW side where the slope falls steeply, giving extensive views to SSE−SW over a broad sweep of countryside. There are somewhat restricted views to W and ENE along the broad undulating top of the ridge. A circular embanked enclosure is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, crossed roughly centrally by a N−S field fence; by the time of the 1931 edition, only the W half of the rath is shown. It has been levelled, but ephemeral outline of a very slightly raised roughly circular area (c. 36.4m N–S; c. 43.5m E–W) is still evident. A broadly levelled scarp can be traced on the S arc but is barely discernible on the N arc. A sunken farm road (W 3.6m; (D 1.5m) with vertical stone-faced sides cuts through the centre of the rath. There is another rath (MA071-114----) 175m to ENE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 24 August 2021

In pasture, located, close to the break of slope at the E end of a ridge. There are somewhat restricted views to W along the broad undulating top of the ridge, and extensive views to southwards over a broad sweep of lowland pasture. Roughly circular platform (30.2m NW-SE; c. 33m NE–SW) defined by a scarp. It is bisected NE of centre by a field fence. To SW of the fence, the rath scarp (H 1.1m at S, 0.7m at WSW) remains well defined and is enclosed SE–NW by a fosse (Wth 2.7m) with an external bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.95m); the external bank is incorporated into a later field fence at SE. To NE of the fence, the scarp has been levelled, visible now only as a slight rise, and the fosse and outer bank cannot be traced. Two linear grassed-over hollows (L 10m N-S) in the S and W of the interior may be the remains of a collapsed souterrain (MA071-114001-). Several areas of erosion reveal that the rath is constructed of sandy/gravelly soil. There is a rath (MA071-113----) 175m to WSW and another (MA071-052001-) 250m to N.

- MA071-114001 Souterrain
Description
In the interior of a rath (MA071-114----). A linear depression (L 10m N−S; Wth 2.5m; max. D 0.6m) extends from the scarp on the S arc of the rath into the interior to N. A large slab protrudes the base. This may be the remains of a collapsed souterrain. A second linear depression (L c. 10m NE−SW; Wth 2.5m; D 0.45m) is located a few meters to W; it extends from the rath scarp at the SW through the interior to NE. The two depressions do not intersect.
