  Description

  Just off crest of hill on E-facing slope in undulating terrain, enclosed by tillage to NW-N-W-SW. Immediately E planted with young deciduous trees. Interior nettle and thistle filled at time of inspection. Ash trees and thorn bushes growing around outer edge of inner bank and scrub and brambles in fosse in SW quadrant only. Roughly circular area (diam. 45.6m NW-SE; 43.7m NE-SW) defined by substantial inner bank (Wth 1.7-3.4m crest, 5.3-6.7m base; deep, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.3-3.2m) and outer bank (Wth 2-1.2m crest; 4.4m-2.35m base; H above fosse 1.3-1.13; H above ext. 0.18-0.25m) measurements in NW and SE quadrants. Cattle gap (Wth 1.4m) though inner bank. Outer bank terminates in NW c. 3m NE of this a field boundary which runs WNW-ESE. Short gravel roadway runs up towards E entrance. Vegetable garden to N and disturbed ground and concrete storage area to S. Entrance in E quadrant has been widened (Wth c. 6.6m) to allow machinery access to interior, brambles obscuring S terminal.

• TS076-069 Enclosure
  Description

  On slopes of a natural ridge running N-S along W edge of enclosure. There are subtle undulations in field. A ringfort (TS076-048----) 'Rathmore' is located c. 300m to S on crest of hill. According to Power (1908, 28) the '"Great Rath" The name-giving Rath is not that noted on the Ordnance Map and still surviving, but another, the site of which is traceable by north side of main road'. This would appear to be a large sub-rectangular enclosure (diam. c. 100m N-S; c. 50m E-W) which has been identified as a cropmark at this location on an aerial photograph (ASIAP (31) 15;(32) 3-7). The enclosure was bivallate, with an inner and outer fosse visible. The enclosure appears to have been widened at some point with the outer fosse being extended in the NE quadrant. The enclosure has a substantial conjoined enclosure (TS076-070001-) to the E and two smaller conjoined enclosures (TS076-070002-; TS076-070003-) to the SE. The larger conjoined enclosure (TS076-070001-) may be an annexe or may have existed prior to and been partially destroyed by the construction of the sub-rectangular enclosure. Field levelled c. 10 years ago and according to landowner the soil in this area is very black, quite different from the surrounding soil, concentrated where the irregular enclosure was located.

• TS076-070001 Enclosure
  Description

  On slopes of a natural ridge running N-S along W edge of enclosure. There are subtle undulations in field. A ringfort (TS076-048----) 'Rathmore' is located c. 300m to S on crest of hill. This enclosure (diam. c. 90m N-S; c. 25m E-W) is either attached to the NE side of a large sub-rectangular enclosure (TS076-069----) or its W side was destroyed by the construction of the sub-rectangular enclosure. It was identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (ASIAP (31) 15;(32) 3-7). The enclosure has two smaller conjoined enclosures (TS076-070002-; TS076-070003-) to the SE. Field levelled c. 10 years ago and according to landowner the soil in this area is very black, quite different from the surrounding soil, concentrated where the irregular enclosure was located.

• TS076-070002 Enclosure
  Description

  On slopes of a natural ridge running N-S along W edge of enclosure. There are subtle undulations in field. A ringfort (TS076-048----) 'Rathmore' is located c. 300m to S on crest of hill. This possible enclosure (diam. c. 40m) was identified as a semi-circular cropmark on an aerial photographs (ASIAP (32) 3, 7 and 15). It is conjoined with an enclosure (TS076-070001-) to the N and a possible enclosure (TS076-070003-) to the W and assoicated with a larger enclosure (TS076-069----). Field levelled c. 10 years ago and according to landowner the soil in this area is very black, quite different from the surrounding soil, concentrated where the larger enclosure was located. The cropmark could not be identified in the adjoining field due to different crop conditions, so it is not possible to establish whether the semi-circular cropmark is in fact half of a circular enclosure or the W portion of an associated field system.

• TS076-070003 Enclosure
  Description

  On slopes of a natural ridge running N-S along W edge of enclosure. There are subtle undulations in field. A ringfort (TS076-048----) 'Rathmore' is located c. 300m to S on crest of hill. This possible enclosure (diam. c. 60m) was identified as an incomplete, roughly circular cropmark on an aerial photographs (ASIAP (32) 6 and 7). It is conjoined with an enclosure (TS076-069----) to the N, enclosure (TS076-070001-) to the NE and a possible enclosure (TS076-070002-) to the NE. Field levelled c. 10 years ago and according to landowner the soil in this area is very black, quite different from the surrounding soil, concentrated where the larger enclosure (TS076-069----) was located. Only the E extent of the cropmark could be clearly defined, so it is not possible to establish whether this was definitely a circular enclosure or the E portion of an associated field system.
