• CL016-106 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On top of a prominent hill in an area of undrained and uncleared marshy pasture with good views. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps and named ‘Lisillaun’ on the latter ed. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). An almost circular rath (34m N-S; 33.5m E-W) defined by an inner bank (Wth 4.4-6m; int. H 0.5-0.9m; ext. H 2-2.8m), intervening fosse (Wth 1.9-4m) and outer bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6-1.45m; ext. H 0.15-0.6m), which has been reduced to a scarp (H 0.25m), now overgrown, at S. Both banks are steep sided and round topped and the fosse is waterlogged. A causewayed entrance gap (Wth 6m) at E marks the original entrance. Three narrow cattle gaps (Wth 0.5m) are also visible. A cattle path running along the N sector of outer face of the inner bank gives the appearance of a slight terrace. The gently undulating interior is densely overgrown with rushes and reeds and is very marshy. There is a farmyard c. 70m to the SW.

• CL016-107 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low hill in undulating uncleared marshy pasture, to the NE of disused farmyard; lazybeds are visible in the adjoining fields. Hachured and named ‘Clooney Fort’ on the 1840 and 1916 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A subcircular rath (30m N-S; 23m E-W) defined from NE to WSW by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The N extent of the site has been levelled and is reduced to a gently sloping scarp (H c. 0.5m). The inner bank (Wth 4m at base; max. int. H 0.25; ext. H 1.65m) is best preserved along SW and is steep sided with a rounded top. The fosse (Wth 2.8m) is waterlogged and overgrown with rushes and reeds. It is also best preserved at SW and is crossed by a causeway at SE that appears to be a later feature. The outer bank (Wth 2-2.9m at base; int. H 0.75-1.8m; ext. H 0.35-1.2m) is well preserved but is incorporated into later field boundaries. Multiple cattle gaps (Wth c. 0.5m) cut through both banks. The interior is overgrown with reeds and slopes gently to the N.
