• KE058-016 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the upper N-facing slope of a ridge. A slightly raised roughly circular area (c. 34m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H c. 0.7m; ext. H 1.14m) with an external fosse (Wth 1.5m; D 0.25m) W-N. The bank has been incorporated into the field boundary system E-W. The level interior is covered with overgrowth. A depression (D 0.6m) skirts the internal face of the bank W-N. A modern drain cuts into the external base of the bank N-E. Spoil from this drain is dumped in the interior.

• KE058-017 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, at the W end of a low ridge, in undulating countryside. This rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) with N-S field boundaries extending from its bank at N and S. On the 1894 OS 6-inch map only the W half of the rath, abutting a N-S field boundary, is indicated. A D-shaped area remains, defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 6.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2.05m) SW-NW and NNW-N, by a scarp (H 1.7m) S-SW and NW-NNW and by a N-S field boundary along the straight E side (L 28m). There are numerous cattle gaps through the bank. The interior is slightly raised above the external ground level and is covered with overgrowth.

  In level pasture, in undulating countryside. A circular area (c. 30m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 1.25m) with cattle gaps at S and SSE. A slight trace of an external fosse, which is waterlogged in places, is visible SW-N. The level interior is covered with overgrowth. There is a possible causeway entrance (Wth c. 1.5m) at WSW. Field boundaries abut the bank at NE, SE and SSW. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

• KE058-019 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular area (31m E-W) defined by an overgrown bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.1m) of earth and stone. The interior slopes gently down to the S. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1m) at NW and a cattle break (Wth c. 1m) at SW. Field boundaries abut the bank at NE, SE and SW.

• KE058-037 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a hillock in undulating countryside. A circular area (37m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.85m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.6m) SW-SE and by a scarp (H 1.3m) SE-SW. The bank is denuded in places by cattle but elsewhere it is covered by overgrowth. It contains numerous cattle gaps. The interior is level and slightly higher than the external ground level. There is a slight mound (c. 3m x 2m) in the SW quadrant. Some concrete fence posts are set into the bank at the NW and in the interior, to the SW of the centre. Field boundaries radiate from the bank externally at NE and SE. This is probably the 'handsome' rath, which was referred to as 'nearly in the centre' of the townland, in the 1840s (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 3, 16).
