• RO021-061 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  At the W end of a WNW-ESE ridge. Subcircular grass-covered platform (dims 35m NNE-SSW; 31.2m WNW-ESE) with a slight bank on the perimeter (Wth c. 2m; int.

There is an entrance ramp (Wth 3.5m) and causeway (Wth 7.5m) at SSE which might not be original as the fosse SSE-SW has been quarried, and a large pond has cut back the platform SW-NW. A WNW-ESE field bank overlies the platform S of the centre (max. ext. dim. 51.4m NNE-SSW). See the attached aerial image taken from the NE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
