- MO019-008 Ringfort - rath
Description
Located on the NW-facing slope of a small NW-SE ridge. This rath is indicated on McCrea’s Map of the county of Monaghan (1793) and on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is an oval grass and scrub-covered area (dims 34m NNW-SSE; 24m ENE-WSW) that slopes down to the NW. It is defined by an earthen bank (at SW: Wth of base 3.9m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 2.3m; at SE: Wth of base 2.9m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.7m) NE-S-NW that is reduced to a scarp elsewhere with an outer field bank built against it W-E-S. A gap (Wth of base 1.9m) at ESE is probably the original entrance and it is blocked by the field bank. There is no visible fosse and a straight NW-SE field bank is just outside the perimeter at SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 22 June 2018
- MO019-009 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated towards the SE end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted on McCrea’s Map of the county of Monaghan (1793) and on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 32.4m NW-SE; 29.8m NE-SW) defined by earthen bank (at NE: Wth of base 5.2m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.8m) with some bushes but no visible trace of a fosse. A field bank is built against the base of this scarp all around. There are several gaps through bank but the original entrance is not identifiable. Running SSW from the centre is a depression (dims 11.6m NNE-SSW; 5.7m WNW-ESE; max. D 1.35m) with a spur (dims WNW-ESE 4.3m; 4.4m NNE-SSW; max. D 0.8m) off its W side. This could be a destroyed souterrain, although there is no evidence of stone. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 22 June 2018
