Description
Located on a level, low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (MM (46) 10, 13-14; (49) 22-3).

Description
Located on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. Archaeological testing (00E0630) excavated a small hearth (dims 0.72m x 0.5m; D 0.14m) and a small pit (dims 0.34m x 0.31m; D 015m) c. 4m distant. The pit and surrounding area produced pottery of a Neolithic character. (Purcell 2000, 2002) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 October, 2013
- WX047-168 Ringfort - rath
Description
Located on a level, low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) defined by a single fosse (Wth c. 2-3m) is visible on OSI aerial images from 2000. A gradiometer survey (20R0088) confirmed the presence of a fosse and identified a possible entrance (Wth c. 3m) at E (Leigh 2020). Other linear features were also detected outside the enclosure. Archaeological testing (20E0323) immediately to the NE outside the rath produced no related material and identified only one of the linear features from the gradiometer survey which was related to modern drainage (McCarthy 2020 excavations.ie 2020:117). See the attached view from OSI images (2000) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 14 October, 2013 Amended: 11 November 202; 2 November 2020
