Recorded monuments

• GA116-066 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In marshy scrubland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (42m N-S; 39m E-W) defined by a scarp and external fosse; the latter only survives from SW to NW. A field wall cuts across the monument at SE and SW and no visible surface trace of the scarp survives to the S of it. There is a souterrain (GA116-066001-) in the NW quadrant of the interior.
