• RO022-005001 Field system
  Description

  On a gentle N-facing slope. A field with some shallow quarries, now grass-covered, has a relict field bank (Wth 3m; H 0.3m) running N-S (L 160m) with a field bank running WNW from a point 34m from its S end. There are also some E-W field banks to the NW, covering an area of c. 5 ha (c. 13 acres). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO022-006001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  At the bottom of an E-W valley at the N foot of Rathcroghan plateau. It is described as 'Rathlough Fort' in gothic lettering on the 1837 and 1911 editions of the OS 6-inch map. Subcircular grass and scrub-covered platform (dims 36m E-W; 29.7m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1m) NW-NE, which may be upcast from the shallow quarry to its S. Elsewhere the platform is defined by a scarp (H 0.5m at W to 1.8m at S) which is separated by an overgrown fosse (Wth of top 7-9.4m; Wth of base 3.5-4m; D 0.9-1.7m) SW-W-NE from an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5m; ext. H 0.2m) that only survives WNW-NE. There is a modern entrance (Wth 4.5m) in the bank at W, and the perimeter of the mound has been quarried SW-NW. A bronze bell was found here c. 1935 (Bourke 1980, 66) in a 'ring of stones', which may have been a house site (RO022-006002-). This is probably when the interior was quarried. Mound (RO022-007----) is c. 140m to the ESE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO022-006002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  A newspaper report (undated, c. 1935) in describing the finding of a bell at Rathlough rath (RO022-006001-) says it was found 'in a ring of stones' which is interpreted as a possible house site. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO022-007 Mound
  Description

  Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the floor of an E-W valley at the N foot of the Rathcroghan plateau. Subrectangular, flat-topped and grass-covered mound (dims of top 13m WNW-ESE; 11.5m NNE-SSW; dims of base 15.8m WNW-ESE; 14.2m NNE-SSW) defined by scarps (H 0.4-0.6m). Rath (RO022-006001-) is c. 140m to the WNW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO022-008 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Towards the top of a gentle S-facing slope at the E end of a slight WNW-ESE ridge. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 31.2m E-W; 18.8m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1m) NE-S and by a scarp (H 1-1.3m) S-NW. It is separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 5.5-6.8m; Wth of base 3.5-4m; D 0.2-0.6m) from an outer bank (Wth 2.4-3.5m; ext. H 0.2-0.8m) and outer fosse (Wth of base 4-6m; ext. D 0.1-0.2m) NE-S-NW. All features have been removed by quarrying NW-NE, and faint traces of a third bank have been recorded at SE and SW (Gannon 1972). There is no identifiable original entrance (max. ext. diam. 62m E-W). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
