• SL008-138 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise, in rear garden of modern house. Crescentic raised area (dims. 26m E-W; 16m N-S) enclosed by a narrow bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.2m; int. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank has been removed NW-E and the site is defined by a scarp. From SE-WSW the site, originally circular, has been levelled and no surface trace is visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

• SL008-139 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. A slight S-facing slope breaks under the S edge of the site. Raised roughly circular area (dims. 22m E-W; 20m N-S) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 0.9m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From NW-NE the scarp has been levelled and an E-W orientated lane abuts the original N limit of the rath. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is raised on the S side to compensate for the underlying natural slope. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

• SL008-140 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Straddling a low NE−SW rise in gently undulating wet pasture. Slightly raised subcircular area (56m NE-SW; 54 NW-SE) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2-2.5mm; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 1.2-1.4mm; D 0.4m). A NNW-ESE orientated field boundary bank, with a drain on the E side, clips the fosse at NE-ESE. There are breaks in the bank at W (Wth 2.2m) and at E (Wth 3.5m); either may mark the position of the original entrance. The interior slopes down gently from centre to N. A central spine of slightly raised ground, probably natural, extends on a NE−SW axis through the centre of the interior. This rise has been largely quarried out in the past, leaving an irregular-shaped area (28m NE-SW; 12m NW-SE; D 0.5m) of pits and hollows in the centre of the rath. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

  Situated in level wet pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by a very slight broad scarp of earth (Wth 2-2.5m; ext. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. A large roughly rectangular boulder (dims. Wth 2m; T 1.5m; H 1.2m) immediately within the scarped edge at NE looks natural. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
