Recorded monuments

• LF022-026001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a hillock in otherwise low-lying pasture, with good views in all directions. Described in 1976 (SMR file) as a large circular ringfort defined by a low bank with a shallow intervening fosse and an outer bank. The latter two features were only evident on the N side of the monument. Two possible house sites (LF022-026002- and LF022-026003-) were noted in the NW and SW quadrants of the interior. This raised oval area (c. 48m NW–SE; c. 39m NE–SW) is now defined by a scarp (H 1.2-1.6m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.2-0.3m). Traces of wall footings (H 0.2m; T 1.8m) are evident at NW. The fosse only survives from N–NNE–NE, elsewhere it has been infilled but its outline is still identifiable. There is no visible surface trace of the outer bank. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 24 October 2012

• LF022-026002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Within the NW quadrant of a rath (LF022-026001-). Described in 1976 (SMR file) as a large possible house. Due to dense overgrowth satisfactory inspection of this feature was impossible. Another possible house site (LF022-026003-) lies in the SW quadrant. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 24 October 2012

• LF022-026003 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Within the SW quadrant of the interior of a rath (LF022-026001-). Described in 1976 (SMR file) as a wide depression that might have been the remains of a large house. Due to dense overgrowth satisfactory inspection of this feature was impossible but the depression may be the result of quarrying. Another possible house site (LF022-026002-) lies in the NW quadrant. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 24 October 2012

• LF022-034 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.5m; H 0.4m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 1.6m; D 0.1-0.15m). The bank barely rises above the interior for most of its circuit. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an outer bank and noted that the original entrance was at SE. These features are no longer identifiable. The rath is densely overgrown with vegetation. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
