• MO028-041 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located towards the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a subcircular or D-shaped and grass-covered raised area (dims 34m NW-SE; 28m NE-SW) defined by scarps (at W: Wth 3.2m; H 2.7m; at NW: Wth 4.2m; H 1m) with an earthen bank (at SE: Wth 3.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m) incorporated into a field bank on the perimeter E-S. The perimeter is cut by a NW-SE field bank at NE, but there is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The perimeter is now circumscribed by a farm track SE-W-NW and the interior is overgrown (Bing 2013).
