Recorded monuments

• LF019-066 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle NW-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 24m) enclosed by a much-denuded low bank of earth and stone with an external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The monument is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF019-067001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the E-facing slope of a hill in pasture. Higher up the hill is an area of blanket bog. A report in 1977 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone. There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance was not recognisable. A possible house site (LF019-067002-) was noted in the NW quadrant of the interior. When revisited in 1998 the rath was densely overgrown with vegetation rendering inspection impossible.

• LF019-067002 House - indeterminate date

• LF019-072 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle SE-facing slope within a plantation of coniferous trees. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. From SSE-S-SW the enclosing elements and a portion of the interior had been removed. It was divided into three unequal portions by field boundaries. The original entrance was not recognisable. The area in the vicinity of the rath is densely overgrown with vegetation rendering access impossible. Although within the tree plantation, it is said to have survived relatively intact (local information). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
