• MA081-007001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on top of a low NW–SE ridge. There are extensive views N−SE, where ground falls steeply to lowlying, rush-grown wet pasture. Ground rises slightly to SW. This rath is named ‘Derrymeel Fort’ on the 1838 and 1919 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a circular platform (34m E–W; 31.5m N–S) defined by a scarp, and enclosed by a fosse with an external earthen bank, outside which is a second fosse with an external bank. The platform scarp (ext. H 2.9m at NE, 2.3m at SW) is high and well defined with a hint of a raised internal lip at S and SW. The innermost fosse (Wth 3m at SW) is flat-based and well defined, with a well preserved bank (Wth 7.5m; int. H 1.75m; ext. H 2.5m at SW) on its outer edge at E–NW. Both are truncated by quarrying at NNW–N, and from N–E they take the form of a broad terrace (Wth 6m) with a well defined external scarp (ext. H 2.55m at NE). The second fosse (Wth 2.5-3m) is clearly defined at S−WNW, evident as a slight depression, marked by a growth of yellow iris, at N–NE and is barely discernible at E–S. The outermost bank (Wth 6.7m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.45m at SW) survives on the W half of the rath, where it has a broad external slump, but is levelled on the E half, except for a discrete section at NE which is partly incorporated into a later field fence. The entrance is marked by a slumped section (Wth c. 4m) of scarp at E leading to a ramp-like causeway (Wth 5m) across the two fosses with corresponding gaps in the two outer banks. The entrance gives onto the sloping spine of the ridge which forms a natural routeway to the rath. The interior has a slight slope from centre to NNE and E. An L-shaped depression close to the scarp in the NE quadrant appears to be a collapsed souterrain (MA081-007002-). A straight field fence, on a NE–SW axis, crosses the two outer banks and their intervening fosses at E side, and blocks the entrance causeway. A barely discernible rise (Wth c. 1.5m) 1.2m outside the outermost bank at SW–W may be the remnants of a field boundary. There are discrete areas of quarrying/disturbance in the external face of the platform scarp at SSE, in the inner face of the middle bank at S, and in the inner face of the outermost bank at SSE and NW. Grass-covered, with few hawthorn bushes scattered around the perimeter. A cairn (MA081-007003-) is located c. 30m to SE on the same ridge.

• MA081-007002 Souterrain
  Description

  Located in the NE quadrant of a rath (MA081-007001-). An L-shaped depression (Wth 2.8m; D 0.5m) extends NNW–SSE for 9m along the NNE edge of the rath platform. At its SSE end it takes a right angled turn to SSW, narrowing slightly (Wth1.8m) as it extends for 8m through the rath interior. Stones protrude randomly from the sod along the length of the depression. It may be a collapsed souterrain passage. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 7 December 2021

• MA081-007003 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  In pasture, located at the SE end of a low NW–SE ridge. The ground falls steeply to N and E to lowlying, rush-grown wet pasture. A sod-covered, sub-circular mound (diam. c. 3.5-4m; H 0.6m at SSW, 1m at NNE). A denuded section at E reveals a concentration of small stones suggesting that it may be a field clearance cairn. A telegraph pole is adjacent at E. There is a rath (MA081-007001-) 35m to WNW on the same ridge. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 7 December 2021

• MA081-049 Burnt mound
  Description

  In flat expanse of wettish pasture, 12m SW of a stream/drain. Low grass-covered, irregular-shaped rise (c. 5m E-W; 5m N-S; H 0.3m). There is dark grey-black soil beneath the sod but no stone fragments were visible. The nature of this feature is uncertain. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 December 2021
