  On a SE-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a circular area (diam. c. 32m) enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone with a very shallow external fosse. The E half had been levelled and the original entrance was not recognisable. The rest of the rath has since been levelled and is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF022-010001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 45m) enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone. There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance was not recognisable. The remains of a limekiln (LF022-010002-) were visible on the inner face of the bank at W. The rath has been levelled and is loosely defined by an irregular scatter of stones that may mark the remains of a collapsed stone wall or may simply be field clearance. Compiled by: Patrick F.

A subcircular raised area (c. 49m N-S; c. 46m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.8-1m), which has been faced with drystone masonry. From WNW-NW-NNW the scarp has been removed and replaced with a NE-SW hedgerow and field fence; elsewhere modern field boundaries skirt the base of it.
