Recorded monuments

• SL013-063001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the W-facing slope of a ridge in undulating pasture. Two conjoined enclosures are marked on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. However only one is marked on the 1837 edition. This enclosure, a rath, comprises an approximately oval-shaped raised area (dims. 37m NE-SW; 21m NW-SE) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone revetted with stones (Wth. 3.3m; int. H 0.55m). No fosse. Break in bank at E (Wth. 2.2m) may represent original entrance. The second enclosure (SL013-063002-) adjoined the ENE of this monument. ______________________________________________________________________ Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL013-063002 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on the W-facing slope of a ridge in undulating pasture. Two conjoined enclosures are marked on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Only the NE half of this, the second, and the larger of the two, is depicted on the OS 6-inch map. It is shown as abutting the ENE side of the first, a rath (SL013-063001-). This monument has been levelled and there are no remains now visible at ground level. ___________________________________________________________________ Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL013-064 Hilltop enclosure
  Description

  In gently undulating pasture, this enclosure straddles an E-W orientated ridge, which provides excellent views in all directions. Oval area (c. 75m N-S; 68m E-W) defined by an earthen scarped edge (ext. H 1.5m at W, 0.3m at NE), and enclosed by a fosse (Wth top 6.6m) with an external earthen bank (Wth base 4.75m; int. H 2.9m; ext. H 1.3m at W). Along the NE and SW arcs, the scarp is low and degraded, the fosse largely infilled and the outer bank levelled to a low rise. The interior of the site is not artificially raised, but follows the natural slopes of the ridge so that the centre, W and E are flush with external ground level, but the N and S sides are higher (by c. 2.5m) than external ground level. The location of the original entrance is uncertain; a causeway (Wth 4m) across the fosse at NW appears to be modern, allowing access to a now disused rectangular quarry pit (c. 20m N-S; c. 10m E-W; D 2m), which cuts through the scarp at N and extends S into the interior. A smaller oval quarry pit (6m N-S; 4m E-W; D 1.5m) cuts across the scarp at NNW. A NNE-SSW drystone field wall extends through the enclosure to E of centre. A rath (SL013-063001-) and an enclosure(SL013-063002-) are located 90m to NW, and there is another rath (SL013-062----) 160m to N.
