• LF022-025 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1987 (SMR file) noted that this raised subcircular area (c. 33m N-S; c. 31m E-W) was enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone. It is defined by a broad scarp (H 0.3-0.4m). There is no evidence of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF022-033 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In low-lying pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that this raised circular area (diam. c. 23m) was enclosed by two low banks with a shallow intervening fosse. The original entrance may have been at SE. It is defined by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.2; H 0.15-0.3m) with traces of an external fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.1m-0.2m). The fosse may have been recut when drains to the W were laid down. The outer bank is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 28 November 2011

• LF022-192 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture. Broadly oval area (c. 55m NE–SW; c. 50m NW–SE) visible on aerial photographs (SMR file). A field boundary/hedgerow, on a NNW–SSE axis, bisects the enclosure to the E of centre. In one aerial view the three-quarters of the enclosure which lies to the W of the fence is defined from SW–N by a raised arc of vegetation, possibly indicating a surviving bank or scarp. To the E of the fence, the enclosure appears to have been levelled. There is another enclosure (LF022-025----) c. 120m to the SE and a possible rath (LF022-024----) c. 300m to the NNW.
