Recorded monuments
- LF015-052 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a NW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded that, because of quarrying, the monument had been almost completely destroyed. All that survived at that time was a low bank of earth and stone at E, immediately beyond the quarry hole. This too has since been levelled. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LF015-053 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a prominent NW-SE ridge in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Bull Ring' on all eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 22m) enclosed by a largely levelled bank of earth and stone. The original entrance was not recognisable. The report suggested that the rath had been reused as an animal enclosure. Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 3 December 2011
- LF015-054 Enclosure
Description
On wet, low-lying ground. A large circular area (diam. 70.4m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone, which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary from SSW–W–NNW. In 1975 (SMR file) a shallow internal fosse was noted. The original entrance is not recognisable. At the centre of the interior is a mound (LF015-054001-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 22 February 2012
- LF015-054001 Mound
Description
Centrally placed within the interior of an enclosure (LF015-054----). A small, low, circular mound (diam. at base 7.2m; max. H 1m). The top of it (diam. 4.8m) is enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.1m; H 0.3m). The area between the mound and the enclosing bank of the enclosure is relatively level and quite waterlogged. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 22 February 2012
- LF015-055 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a SW-facing slope in poor, wet pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 23.4m) enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.2m; H 0.3-1.1m) that has been scarped at SW. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a wide, deep, intervening fosse and an outer bank. The fosse (Wth c. 3.8m) has been infilled for most of its circuit and only its outline is identifiable. The outer bank is not visible. A break (Wth 3.1m) in the bank at SE with an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 3 December 2011
