• GA098-098 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level grassland. Subcircular ringfort (N-S 27.5m, E-W 25.2m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. Traces of stone revetments are evident on the inner face of the inner bank, and on the top of the outer bank. A gap at SSE could be original but that at NNE is due to quarrying. Two modern stone walls radiate from the outer bank at N and S. Within the interior are three houses (GA098-098002-; GA098-098003- and GA098-098004-) and a probable souterrain (GA098-098001-).
