Recorded monuments

• LF010-001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a shelf of level ground at the base of a SW-facing slope. A raised circular area (diam. c. 29m) enclosed by a partially denuded, wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.2-7.8m; H 0.55-1.15m) with a wide, shallow, intervening fosse (Wth 6.7-7.2m; D 0.1-0.6m), which is identifiable only from W–N–SE, and an outer bank (Wth 6-7.2m; H 0.6-1.5) from W–WNW and at SE. A report in 1978 (SMR file) speculated that a blocked-up break in the inner bank at N with an accompanying causeway across the fosse may have represented the original entrance.
