• SL012-088 Enclosure
  Description

  Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on an E-facing slope in pasture. Raised oval area (dims. 28.7m NW-SE; c.18m NE-SW) enclosed at NE by the remains of a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3.6m; H 0.3m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 1.2m). No fosse. The site is divided into unequal portions by a modern NW-SE field boundary. The smaller portion SW of this has been levelled and only its outline is now identifiable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL013-035001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low but prominent hillock in hilly, coastal pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 25.9m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth. 4.2m - 5.5m; int. H 0.1m - 1.1m). At SSW the bank has been levelled and the defining element is a scarp (H 0.8m).

Modern break in bank at E (Wth. c.3m) probably marks the site of the original. There is a possible souterrain within interior (SL013-035002-). Compiled by: Patrick F.
