Recorded monuments

• LF008-020 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture. A raised roughly oval area (25m NE-SW; 22m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.3-0.6m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 2-4m; D 0.15-0.4m). The latter is not visible from WSW-SW-W where it is bordered by a modern NW-SE field boundary. The rath is divided into unequal portions by a NE-SW field bank and trench. The larger portion, to the SE, has been almost totally levelled. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF008-024 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a NE-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a small oval enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been levelled. However, the outline of a bank with a narrow external fosse may still be identified, enclosing an oval area (c. 38m N-S; c. 31m E-W). At NW a modern NE-SW field boundary overlies the line of the fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF008-025 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise with good views in all directions. 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) described this roughly circular rath (diam. c. 44m) as being almost completely obliterated. All that was visible was a slight rise combined with a distinctive mossy band of vegetation. It is not visible at ground level, a landscaped garden marks its location. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 16 January 2012

• LF008-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a SW-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 1967 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 38m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a wide, deep, external fosse. The original entrance may have been at SW. It has since been levelled and only the outline of its perimeter is identifiable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
