Recorded monuments

• GA105-015 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a N-facing slope. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 43.3m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is best preserved from E through S to W; stone-facing is visible intermittently from E to S. From W to NE the bank is very low or barely discernible and no trace of it survives at WNW. A gap is evident at NE. The NE section of the fosse is now used as a watering place for cattle. The outer bank is best preserved from NW to NE. A grassed-over bank abuts the monument at SSW. It runs SE for 33.5m towards a terrace; it may be associated with the rath. A standing stone (GA105-230----) lies c. 40m to the E.
