• TS086-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle N-facing slope with a stream running E-W c. 20m to the N, in gently undulating pastureland. Roughly circular area (diam. 21.5m N-S; c. 22m E-W on 25-inch map) enclosed by inner bank (Wth 1.7m crest, 3.9m base; int. H 0.67m; ext. H 1.13m); wide, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4m; D 1.13m) and outer bank (Wth 2m crest, 4m base; ext. H 0.73m) and evidence of outer fosse (Wth 2.6m; D 0.3m) in the NE quadrant. Both banks are of earthen construction and have quite a steep profile. The interior is quite heavily overgrown with scrub. There is a large break in the outer bank (Wth 6m) in S quadrant. Narrow steep-sided field drain dug along outer face of outer bank in E quadrant. Narrow gap (Wth 1.5m) in NW quadrant caused by cattle. No visible evidence of entrance through both banks.

• TS086-021 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On level ground on valley floor with stream flowing E-W immediately to S, in rough pasture. Circular area (diam. 30.5m N-S; 29.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 1.7m crest, 6m base; int. H 0.46m; ext. H 1.8m) and wide, U-shaped fosse (Wth 2.8m; D 1.44m). A field ditch (Wth 1.8m; D 0.59) runs parallel to the monument and upcast from this ditch has created an outer bank (Wth 4.3m crest, 8.7m base; ext. H 1.15m) which gives the impression that the ringfort is bivallate. On both the 1st (1840) and 2nd (1907) ed. OS 6-inch maps the 'outer bank' is depicted as continuing S of the stream, however, there is no visible evidence of this. Possible entrance in E quadrant (Wth 3.9m), though there is no corresponding causeway over the fosse. Bank in E and SW has been largely reduced to scarp. In the N quadrant an internal rectangular structure (diam. 6.6m N-S x 13.7m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 1.4m; int. H 0.23m; ext. H 0.28m) abutts the inner face of the enclosing ringfort bank. This internal feature has a possible entrance (Wth 2.4m) at W end of S side.
