Recorded monuments

• KE067-001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the edge of a NE-SW terrace on a NW-facing slope, with commanding views N to the Slieve Mish Mountains. An arc (C 27.5m) of an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.7m) SW-NE is partially obscured by bushes and has intermittent traces of stone facing along its internal face. The sloping external face of the bank is being eroded, with earth and loose stones spilling downslope. There is a cattle break (Wth c. 1m) at W. The level interior, which is under pasture, is raised (H 1m) at NW to compensate for the natural slope. This rath is indicated as a semicircular enclosure abutting the townland boundary at S on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. On the 1893-4 OS 6-inch map, a raised area is defined by an arc of hachures SW-E.

• KE067-002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a NW-facing slope. A raised circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a scarp (H c. 2m), by an intervening fosse (Wth 2.7m), by an outer earthen bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.6m), and by an outer fosse (Wth 1.4m; D 0.8m) NE-WNW. There is a causeway entrance at W. The surface of the interior is uneven and the enclosing elements NNE-SSE are obscured by dense overgrowth. Large boulders are heaped haphazardly in the outer fosse. The rath is raised at NW and is cut into the upslope at SE to compensate for the hillslope.
