Recorded monuments

• LF018-033 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 35.8m) enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.9m; H 0.45m max.) with a wide, deep, external fosse (Wth 7.5m; D 0.9m) and what may be the outline of a levelled outer bank (Wth c. 3m). From SSW-W-NW the circuit and morphology of the bank and fosse have been altered where they have been incorporated into modern linear field boundaries. A break (Wth 4.1m) in the bank at SE with an accompanying causeway probably marks the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
