• SL034-025 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the NW-facing slope of a ridge with the ground sloping off immediately to N and S. A raised D-shaped area (24m NE-SW; 22m NW-SE), enclosed by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) SSE-NE and by a linear NE-SW field boundary on the straight SE side. The bank at N is relatively straight and was once incorporated into the field boundary system. The interior is level.

• SL034-026 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, on a SE-facing slope just off the top of a ridge. Described during a previous site inspection in 1992 (SMR (1989) file) as a raised circular area (32m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 6m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 2m) with an external fosse (Wth 5m) overgrown with rushes. An entrance (Wth 3m) was noted at ENE and traces of external stone kerbing were evident especially along the W arc. The fosse was skirted E-SW by a curving field boundary. Linear field boundary immediately to W. This rath is now surrounded by a mature coniferous forest and is inaccessible.

• SL034-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a hillock. Indicated as a circular embanked area (diam. c. 35m), bisected by a NE-SW field boundary, on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. On the 1914 OS 6-inch map only the NW arc is shown which abuts a linear field boundary. This arc (C 24m), which encloses a semicircular area (dims. 5m NW-SE), is formed by a scarp (H 1.6m) with an external fosse (Wth 6m) abutting a NE-SW field boundary. Faint traces of the remainder of the rath (18m NW-SE), defined by a growth of thistles, are visible on the SE side of the field boundary. The rath is partially covered with overgrowth. A field boundary extends to NW from the edge of the rath.

• SL034-090 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, built into a moderate NNE-facing slope. A raised roughly circular area (25m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 1.95m; ext. H 0.9m) ESE-NW and by a scarp (H 1.9m) elsewhere. A fosse (D 0.6m) is evident SE-NNW, infilled but evident as a band of dark grass NNW-E; elsewhere a field drain has been cut through the fosse. The base of the fosse SE-W is higher than the level of the interior as it is cut into the hillslope. The interior slopes down to NNE, is wet and covered with rushes. The N portion has been raised to compensate for the hillslope. Field boundaries abut the bank at SW and NW. Another rath (SL034-091----) lies c. 20m to SW.

  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A raised circular area (24m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.95m) SW-SE and elsewhere by a scarp. The entrance is via a ramp (Wth 1.4m) at SSE, revetted with a line of stones (L 3.4m; H 0.2m) on the W side. A N-S field boundary abuts the external face of the bank at W. The fosse (D 0.4m) is evident NE-SE and is infilled elsewhere. There is a field boundary along the outer edge of the infilled fosse N-NE. A small quarry (5m N-S; 7m E-W; D 0.9m), now disused, is in the infilled fosse at S. The interior is level and raised to compensate for the hillslope. The N half of the rath is densely covered with overgrowth.

  Description

  In rough pasture, at the base of the gentle SE-facing slope of a ridge and to W of a bend in the Arrow or Unshin River. A circular area (36m N-S; 34m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.3m) NW-SE. A curved field boundary and trackway replace the bank SE-SW. A N-S field boundary truncates the W edge of the rath. There is a possible entrance (Wth 3m) in the N arc. In the NE quadrant of the level interior is a subcircular platform (H 0.6m; diam. 14m) extending inwards from the enclosing bank. The rath is covered with overgrowth.

• SL034-258 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located on a slight terrace on an E-facing slope, not far from the base of the slope where the ground levels out to an expanse of lowlying, boggy ground through which the Arrow or Unshin River meanders. This enclosure is not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps, but is visible in current aerial views. This enclosure has been levelled and the remains are barely discernible at ground level. The outline of a roughly circular area (diam. 18-20m) can be traced as a slight undulation/cropmark. The interior slopes down gently to E, mirroring the natural hill slope. There is an ESB pole just outside the perimeter at WSW. Two rath (SL034-090----; MA034-091----) are located 175m upslope to W on the same ridge.
