Recorded monuments

• MO027-048 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a NE-facing slope overlooking Lough Namachree, which his c. 300m to the N. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) is faintly depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. Traces of a bank could be preserved in a curve of a field bank NE-SE. 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: 31 January 2018

• MO027-065 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located at the outer edge of a shelf on a W-facing slope with SE-NW stream c. 90m to the SW. It is depicted faintly as a circular feature on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’ and as a subrectangular hachured feature on the 1907 edition. This is a grass and scrub-covered D-shaped area (dims 18m NW-SE; 15m NE-SW) defined by the grass-covered foundations of walls (at NE: Wth 0.6m; H 0.2-0.6m) on the NE and SE sides and by a slight earthen bank (at SW: Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1m) with an external stone-facing elsewhere. The entrance is a wide gap (Wth 4.8m) at SSE. This was probably a rath that was damaged even before the 1834 OS map was made, leaving only 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: 31 January 2018
