Recorded monuments

• WX046-079 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated at the edge of a fairly level landscape with a slight slope down to a N-S stream c. 100m to the W. This is known locally as Rathavsree, thought to derive from Rathamhaistir – the master’s rath. A NNW-SSE field bank has truncated most of this site, which lies to the E of the field bank, but to the W is a D-shaped grass and scrub-covered area (dims c. 20m NNW-SSE; c. 5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H c. 1m). The field to the E has no indications of an enclosure but it is known as the rath field. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 20 August, 2013

• WX046-080 Habitation site
  Description

  Situated on the flood-plain of a small N-S stream and close to the stream at a point where it curves to the W. A number of prehistoric flints and worked stones have been recovered on the land, largely from this area. They include two stone axes, a hollow-based arrowhead, some flint cores, a crude loom-weight and a possible hone-stone. The soil is said to be black clay with lenses of shell and organic material. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 August, 2013

• WX046-096 Kiln - lime
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape with a small old clay-pit immediately to the S. Removal of the topsoil exposed a circular area (int. diam. 2.7m) defined by an edge of fire-reddened clay (T 0.15m). This is probably the fire-pit of a kiln, and because of the proximity of the clay-pit it can be assumed that bricks would have been fired in it.
