• GA103-041 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in undulating grassland. Well-preserved circular rath (diam. 41.2m) defined by a bank and external fosse. Traces of internal stone-facing are evident on the bank at N. A causewayed gap (Wth 2.3m) at NE may be original. There is a souterrain (GA103-041001-) within the SW quadrant of the interior.

• GA103-041001 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the SW quadrant of a rath (GA103-041----). This drystone-built souterrain (L 21.8m) is very ruined and has partially collapsed but four distinct sections of its roughly stepped ground plan are identifiable. The section (L 6.3m; Wth 3m) nearest to the enclosing bank runs SSW-NNE and is inaccessible. At its NNE end the passage (L 4m) turns and runs NW-SE. It turns again at NW and runs NE-SW (L 7m). The NE end culminates in a pile of stones (L 4.5m) running E-W. An exposed lintel is visible among this material.
