• LA037-003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  A subcircular area (dims. 54.8m N-S, c. 38m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 2.8m; int. H c. 0.3m, ext. H c. 1.8m) and external fosse (Wth c. 3.5m) from SE-NE. Possible original entrance at E. Today no surface remains survives of the enclosing feature around the ringfort that was described in 1990 as there are 4 bungalows with their associated plots in the S quadrant of the ringfort and a large farmyard with two farmhouses built in the N quadrant of the ringfort. The entire surface of the ringfort has been built on with the aforementioned buildings. These houses and the large farmyard are marked on the 1995 OSI B/W aerial photo of the region and were presumably built between 1990 and 1995. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload / revision : 12 June 2009
