• TS081-038001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a steep NW-facing slope in hilly pastureland, just off the crest of a hill. The ringfort is very disturbed. It is bisected NE-SW by a field boundary. The NW half of the ringfort appears to have been levelled between the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map in 1840 and the 2nd ed. (1906) (diam. c. 21m N-S; c. 23m E-W). The bank in the SE half is partially levelled and partially disturbed by quarrying. The bank (Wth 1.4m crest, 3.3m base; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 0.6m) survives best in the SW quadrant, it is partially built on outcrop and there is a lot of stone in the bank composition. A field bank runs close to and parallel with the SW bank. There is a souterrain (TS081-038002-) in the interior, partially exposed, in the N quadrant, 9m from the bank. A shallow trench (Wth c.1.8m; 0.15m D) has been cut along the internal base of the bank in the SE quadrant. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 08 January 2014

• TS081-038002 Souterrain
  Description

  In the N quadrant of a ringfort (TS081-038001-) c. 9m from the bank a small opening into the souterrain is exposed. The souterrain is described in OPW Correspondence file as follows, 'The entrance to the cave at the [top?] is about 6 feet [1.8m] with a perpendicular descent of about 6 feet [1.8m]. Further entrance is obtained by a narrow passage of built stones about 3 feet [0.9m] high by two feet [0.6m] wide, the passage itself being about 4 feet [1.2m] long. On passing through this passage you find yourself in an egg-shaped chamber of built stone about 8 feet [2.4m] by 6 feet [1.8m] wide and 5 feet [1.5m] high. The walls are of built stone without mortar inclining inward as they ascend, the top being covered with large flags. At the end of this chamber is a small passage similar to the entrance passage leading to a second chamber which is similar to the first mentioned chamber. A small passage also leads from the second chamber to a third chamber which is somewhat larger than the two previous chambers. Here the earth has fallen in and further progress is impeded' (W. Fitzgerald, Sgt. G.S., 21st August 1930). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 08 January 2014
