• MO009-018 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated just off the summit of a drumlin on the E side. A circular enclosure with trees on the perimeter (diam. c. 40m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic script as a ‘fort’, and it is depicted as a small field on the 1908 edition. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 35.5m N-S; 35m E-W) that slopes down to the E. It is defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 0.85m) planted with beech trees that is reduced to a scarp NE-SE. There is an outer drain (at N: Wth of top 1.6m; Wth of base 1.2m; D 0.65m) that is silted up NE-SE and filled with field clearance SE-W. There is no identifiable entrance, and the monument could be a rath that was adapted into a tree-ring.
