• LE031-048 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in a low-lying position between drumlins, with a small canalised SSE-NNW stream c. 60m to the E. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an intermittently visible earthen bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.35m) and an external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 2.2m; D 0.3m). There is an entrance (Wth of base 1.6m), which is possibly original although there is no causeway, at NE. The rath remains unplanted but overgrown within a forest since 1995 at least (OSAP). The rath (LE031-049----) is c. 80m to the E, on the other side of the stream. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 October 2018

• LE031-049 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in a low-lying position between drumlins, with a small canalised SSE-NNW stream immediately to the W. It is depicted as a D-shaped enclosure on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and also on the 1945 revision of the map. This is a grass and scrub-covered D-shaped platform (dims 53m N-S; 48m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m) and slight traces of an external fosse. The straight side is defined by a drain at W parallel with the stream. An original entrance is not identified. The rath (LE031-048----) is c. 80m to the W, on the other side of the stream. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
