• MA022-048 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating, average pasture, located at the break of slope at the NW end of a low natural scarp, with excellent views in all directions. It is located close to the NW boundary of the townland. This rath is named ‘Cashlaunagur Fort’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a raised circular area (21.5m E–W; 23.6m N–S) defined by a bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 0.9m at SE, 1.5m at NW) of earth and stone. The bank has a low internal face. It has a rather broadly slumped external slope, except at W–NW where it is markedly steep, enhanced by the natural fall of ground. Stones protrude from the sod on the top and sides of the bank. The interior is level and featureless, with a gap (Wth 2m) at the SE, which most likely marks the original entrance. The ephemeral outline of a roughly square area (18m NW–SE; 17.6m NE–SW), defined by remnants of a field bank, is appended to the rath bank at NE; it appears to be a small field plot of relatively recent date.

• MA022-049 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In gently undulating average pasture, located on a rise. It is located close to the SW boundary of the townland. This rath is named ‘Cullahoof Fort’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a raised oval area (c. 25m NW–SE; c. 27.7mm NE–SW) defined by a scarp (Wth slope 2m; H 1.4m at SW). The scarp is well defined at NE and at S–SW, but elsewhere is low and degraded, with a broadly slumped external slope. At NE the scarp is topped with a grass-covered rise (L 4m; Wth 3.9m; H 0.75m) of earth and stones, which appear to be the result of disturbance or field clearance, rather than remnants of an original bank. There is a gentle slope down from NW to SE in the SE half of the interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 May 2019

• MA022-050 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rolling average pasture, located at the break of slope at the top of a natural NE-facing scarp, with excellent views in all directions. It is located close to the NE boundary of the townland. This rath is named ‘Cross Fort’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a raised, broadly oval area (31m N–S; 35m E–W) defined by a substantial bank of earth and stone, and enclosed by a fosse with an external bank. The inner bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.4m at SW, 0.1m at NE; ext. H 1.7m at SW, 2m at NE) is low internally and more or less reduced to a scrap at N–NE, but it has a pronounced external slope. Stones protruding from the external face of the bank at N–NE appear be remnants of a stone facing. The fosse (Wth 3-3.3m) is clearly defined, except at NE–E where the external bank is absent and the fosse is reduced to a slight terrace from which the ground falls steeply in a natural slope. The external bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.6m, at SW) is incorporated into later field banks at SSW–NNW, which respect the curve of the enclosure. The original entrance may be at the SE, where there is a gap (Wth 2.4m) in the inner bank with a corresponding break (Wth 4.4m) in the external bank. A low line of sod covered stones extends across the gap in the inner bank. The centre of the interior appears to be slightly raised. The interior surface is rather uneven. A number of low scarps or banks subdivide the NE quadrant, but appear to be relatively late in date. There is a circular depression (diam. 8m; D 0.6m), possibly the result of relatively recent disturbance, in the NW quadrant. Grass cover, with moderate hawthorn, gorse and brambles on the inner bank.

• MA022-051 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located close to the SE boundary of the townland, on a broad low rise, with good views over the surrounding wettish-average, rolling pasture. There is a small lake 200m to SE. This rath is named ‘Ratheur’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a raised circular area (26m NW–SE; 27m NE–SW) defined by a bank (Wth 4.2m at NW; 4.2m at SE; int. H 0.6m at NW, 0.2m at SE; ext. H 1.5m at NW, 1.3m at SE) of earth and stone. The bank is generally well defined, though low internally on the S arc. Stones protrude from its slopes, particularly on the external slope. A slight depression (Wth 3m) is evident outside the bank at NE, but not elsewhere around the circuit, and it is unclear if it represents evidence of a fosse. The interior is level and featureless. The entrance is at the E, where there is a gap (2m) in the bank, now largely obscured by overgrowth. The perimeter is ringed with hawthorn, blackthorn and ash trees; the interior is grassy with, clumps of brambles at E. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 May 2019
