Recorded monuments

• SL011-082 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on small promontory in pasture, overlooking Ballymeeny River to E. Raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.35m) with an external fosse (Wth 9.7m; D 0.7m). From NE-SW the bank lies along the top of a natural steep E-facing scarped edge that runs down toward the Ballymeeny River. The bank has been partially removed by small scale quarrying W-NW. The original entrance to the site is not recognisable. The fosse encloses the site SW-N and is absent elsewhere due to the sharp natural drop to the E of the site. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

  Description

  Situated in level wet pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 2.5m; H 0.4m) with a fosse (Wth 3.2m) and an external bank of earth (Wth 2.1m; H 0.7m). The interior is densely overgrown with thick gorse extending in a broad ENE-WSW orientated band (Wth c. 15m) on the S side of a field bank that crosses the N side of the site. This overgrowth obscures the enclosing elements at W and at NE. An arc of earthen bank (Wth 2.05m; int. H 0.3m) lies within, and concentric with, the internal bank SE-SW. This bank is separated from the internal bank by a berm (Wth 1.25m). This bank may extend further but extent is obscured by overgrowth. The original entrance is not recognisable.
