• MA030-016 Moated site
  Description

  In pasture, located on a slight rise in an area of gently undulating grassland. A rath (MA030-015) is visible c. 200m to SW. This moated site consists of a raised, rectangular platform (36.8m E–W; 34m N–S) defined by remnants of a bank, and enclosed by a fosse and external bank. The inner bank survives mainly as a scarp (Wth slope 3.4m; ext. H 2m) with a low internal rim (Wth 0.6m; int. H 0.2m). The fosse (Wth 4.5m) is broad and well defined. The external bank (Wth 5.9m; H ext. 0.9m, at N) remains substantial on the N side, but is rather degraded elsewhere. There is a break (Wth 6m) in the external bank at the NE angle, and it is also largely eroded at the SE angle. At W the external bank has been reduced to, or possibly replaced by, a low stony bank, topped with a post and wire fence, which flanks the E side of a grassed-over, disused laneway. The laneway skirts the W site of the moated site, respecting its outline. In the NW quadrant of the interior there is a shallow, sub-rectangular depression or area of disturbance (8.4m E–W; 4.5m N–S). In the SE quadrant there is an L-shaped depression or shallow trench (Wth 1.4m), which extends E–W for c. 7-8m and turns at its E end for c. 8m to the S. It is bordered on its outer edge at N and E by a low raised rim (Wth 1.2m; H 0.2m). A later field fence, on a roughly E–W axis, cuts across the external bank and fosse at NE. Interior grass covered; dense hawthorn and brambles on the banks and fosse. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 April 2018

• MA030-017 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on the E shoulder of a prominent rise on a roughly NW–SE ridge, which provides good views. At SW–W the ground falls away into a narrow valley of wet ground. Raised, circular area (15m E–W; 14.8m N–S) defined by a low and eroded earthen bank (Wth 3.9m at NNW, 3.7m at SSE). The bank has a low, internal slope (int. H 0.3m at NNW, 0.2m at SSE) and is broadly slumped externally (ext. H 1.2m at NNW, 1.3m at SSE)), especially at W–N. The interior slopes down from NW towards the entrance gap (Wth 2m) at SE. A few large boulders are incorporated into the N terminal of the gap. A sod-covered triangular mound of earth and stones, which projects 4-5m from the external face of the bank at N, appears to be the result of field clearance; a similar heap is appended to the bank at SW. This appears to be the remains of a rath, although it should be noted that its diameter is smaller than average. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 April 2018
