- SL012-023001 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a low rise in reclaimed pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed at NW-SE by a low earthen bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.7m, at N). At S the bank has been levelled, and also at SW-NW where the W edge of the rath is now overlain by a NNW-SSE field fence. Outside the bank at ENE-SE is a terrace (Wth. 4m - 4.5m; ext. H 1-1.5m) which respects the curve of the enclosure. At NNW there is a fosse-like depression (Wth 4-4.5m; D 0.5m) but this may be the result of modern disturbance. A break (Wth 4m) in bank at E probably represents the original entrance. There is a local tradition of a souterrain (SL012-023002-) within the W half of the rath. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
