Recorded monuments

• DG100-007 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  A circular-shaped ringfort is indicated in this field on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map with the text 'Fort' indicated on the map to the left of the ringfort. On this same 6-inch map the words 'Giants Grave' are written in Gothic Script to the right of the same ringfort. Today the remains of this fort can still be seen in this field which is depicted as 'Giant's Grave' and 'Fort' on the original OS 6-inch map (1835-6), but is not shown on later editions. According to Thomas Fagan (1845-8), this fort was referred to by some in the locality as the 'Giant's Grave'. He added that there was no trace of a grave at the site nor any recollection of one. There seems little reason to suppose that there was ever a megalithic tomb at this location.
