• SL033-082 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture, on a rise. A raised circular area (int. diam. 26m) enclosed by remains of two earthen banks with an intervening fosse (Wth 4m). The inner bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 3.5m) is substantial while the outer bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 0.75m) is low. The entrance (Wth 1.5m) is at SE with a causeway across the fosse. The SE edge has been partially quarried away and some digging has also taken place in the interior.

• SL033-083 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture, on a low rise with excellent views in all directions. A roughly circular raised area (35m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by two earth and stone banks with an intervening fosse. The interior is enclosed by an inner bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 3.9m); the width and internal height (H 1.8m) of the bank have been increased NNW-N to accommodate an OS trigonometrical station (now gone but indicated on the 1941 OS 6-inch map). The entrance (Wth 6m) is at E with breaks in the inner and outer banks and a ramp and causeway across the fosse. The fosse is evident all round with a slight infilling visible W-NW as a result of livestock traffic into the interior. The outer bank (int. H 1.05m; ext. H 0.7m) is evident NE-NNW; elsewhere it has been replaced by a drystone-built wall. There is a gap (Wth 2.2m) at W. A drystone-built wall has been constructed on the external edge of the top of the outer bank WSW-NW and an E-W earth and stone field boundary abuts the external base of the outer bank at S. The interior is level and under grass with some hawthorn bushes. In the S half is a circular earthwork surrounded by a stone wall; on top of the enclosing bank on the S side of the earthwork is a stone monument of the Fleming family. The circular earthwork consists of a slightly raised level area (diam. 7.5m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (H 0.3m). The earthwork is enclosed by a circular drystone wall (H 0.85m; T 0.65m) of rubble limestone with an entrance (Wth 1.6m) at N. The rubble limestone on the W side of the entrance is stone faced and coursed while the E side has mostly collapsed. The Fleming monument (Flynn 2003-4, 22-3) consists of a rectangular column (0.75m N-S; 0.9m E-W; H 1.2m) of rubble limestone, mortared in rough courses. At the top of the N-facing side are two roughly shaped rectangular sculpted stones, both of similar dimensions (H 0.37m; Wth inscribed face 0.23m; T 0.45m). The westernmost stone is decorated with a stag, a heart between a unicorn and another animal as well as a hand holding a sword, a fleur-de-lys and an open hand. The easternmost stone is inscribed with capital letters in relief and reads as follows: RICHARD FLEMING WHO MADE THIS IN THE YEARE 1712; there is an upright flower stem between the 17 and the 12. This monument does not mark a burial and Richard Fleming is probably buried in Emlaghfad (SL033-14402-), with other members of that family, where there are five Fleming chest-tombs, three of which are very ornate (pers. comm. M. B. Timoney).

• SL033-083001 Armorial plaque
  Description

  At Emlaghnaghtan rath (SL033-083----). In the S half is a circular earthwork surrounded by a stone wall; on top of the enclosing bank on the S side of the earthwork is a stone memorial with a plaque bearing a coat of arms and inscribed 'RICHARD FLEMING WHO MADE THIS IN THE YEARE 1712'; there is an upright flower stem between the 17 and the 12. According to local tradition, this monument does not mark a burial and Richard Fleming is probably buried in Emlaghfad (SL033-144002-) with other members of that family (Flynn 2003-4, 22-3).

  Description

  In undulating pasture, on a rise. An oval area (int. diam. 8m x 4m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m). A rath (SL033-085----) lies c. 30m to SSW.

• SL033-085 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture, with excellent views in all directions. A slightly raised circular area (33m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by two earth and stone banks with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1m to berm) is evident all round and has an external berm or level lip (Wth 0.8m) at the base around most of the perimeter. The base of the fosse is 1.2m below the level of the berm, giving a total height from the top of the bank to the base of the fosse of 2.2m. Many rocks are visible in the inner bank material and traces of stone revetment are evident on the internal bank face, especially E-SW. Where this revetment occurs the bank is almost vertical and its top broader than elsewhere. The fosse is evident all round though it is very slight E-SE. The outer bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.35m) is evident N-ENE only. There is an entrance (Wth 2.2m) in the inner bank at E with a ramp and causeway across the fosse. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth and strewn with moss-covered rocks. There is a possible souterrain (SL033-085001-) in the NW quadrant. A drystone field boundary lies immediately to W of the rath. Another field boundary, indicated on the 1941 OS 6-inch map immediately to S, has been removed. A NE-SW earth and stone field bank, not indicated on the 1941 OS 6-inch map, crosses the fosse and intersects with the inner bank at ENE. An enclosure (SL033-084----) lies c. 30m to NNE.

• SL033-085001 Souterrain
  Description

  In the NW quadrant of a rath (SL033-085----). A trench (L 16m SW-NE; Wth 3.7m; D 1.15m), the SW end of which lies close to the inner bank of the rath, may be the remains of a souterrain. There are low piles of earth and rock debris at the NE end of the trench. There is a local tradition of a 'cave' in the rath.

• SL033-116 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a rise. A raised circular area (18m N-S; 17.5 E-W) defined by an eroded earthen bank with an external fosse. The bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.9m) is evident all round with small cattle gaps at NW, SSE, SSW and SW. The fosse is evident E-SSW; elsewhere the line of the fosse is marked by a band of dark-coloured grass. The interior is gently undulating and clear of overgrowth. Some hawthorn bushes grow on the bank NE-SW.
