- SL013-053001 Enclosure
Description
Situated on slight W-facing slope in undulating pasture. Slightly raised, roughly rectangular area (dims. 27m N-S; 22m E-W) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.9m; int. H 0.4m). At the external foot of the bank from SW-NE are a berm (Wth 9m) and a substantial outer bank (Wth 7.4m; ext. H 1.35m). The bank turns at a right angle at SW and NE and links to the internal bank. The original entrance is not recognisable. The ground level of the interior has been raised and levelled to compensate for the natural slope of the external ground level. A house site (SL013-053002-) is located a short distance to E of centre of the interior. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

- SL013-054 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular area divided into equal portions by a N-S field boundary. The portion of the site which lay to the E of the field boundary has been levelled and there are no remains of it now visible at ground level. Remains comprise a D-shaped slightly raised area (dims. 18m N-S; 13.5m E-W) whose straight side is defined by the remains of the field boundary and the curvilinear portion by a wide, low earthen bank (Wth 6.4m; int. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL013-059001 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
Situated on slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 32m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.2m; int. H 1m). From NE-NNE and at ESE the bank is absent and the defining element is a scarp (H 1.6m). Where the bank survives, it is revetted on the outer face with large limestone blocks. The fosse has been infilled on all sides but is visible as a band (Wth 10m) of darker grass. A break in the bank at SE (Wth 3.2m) marks the position of the original entrance. The interior of the site slopes gently facing-E. Extending into the interior from the inner face of the bank are two house sites, one at NW (SL013-059003-) and one at SE (SL013-059003-). There is no evidence now visible for the possible souterrain (SL013-059003-) identified by a previous fieldworker in 1991 (SMR (1989) file). Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
