Recorded monuments

• RO011-018 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the NNE-facing slope of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. Oval grass-covered area (dims 26m ENE-WNW; 19.3m NNE-SSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.7m at ESE to 5.7m at SSW; int. H 1m generally to 1.3m at SSW; ext. H 0.8m) ESE-S incorporated into a field bank S-WSW and by a scarp (H 1.3-1.6m) elsewhere, with an outer fosse (Wth of base 2-2.2m; D 0.5m) S-WSW. There is no visible entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO011-174 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located in pasture on a very gentle N-facing slope. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is now a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 28m NE-SW; 24m NW-SE) defined by a scarp SE-S-NW that increases in magnitude from SE (at S: Wth 1.5m; H 0.1m) to NW (at WNW: Wth 2.8m; H 0.3m). The monument is truncated at NE by a NW-SE land-drain that borders a disused section of the N4 road, which has the modern carriageway beyond it to the NE. There is no visible fosse or entrance.

• RO011-175 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in improved, undulating pasture, near the top of a small NE-SW drumlin ridge. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 24m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW) defined by a slight scarp (at E: Wth 2.8m; H 0.4m) NNE-S, which is barely traceable WSW-NNE. The perimeter is truncated by a NW-SE field bank at SW and cannot be traced S-WSW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 May 2015
