• SL012-027 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low rise in lowlying, poorly-drained pasture affording excellent views in all directions. Substantially raised circular area (28m NW-SE; 27m NE-SW) enclosed on top by a broad bank (Wth. 7.6m), low on its inner face (int. H 0.4m) but with a steep drop (ext. H 2m at SSW; 4.8m at NNE) on its exterior slope. Enclosing the base of the platform is a fosse (Wth. 2.4m at SSW, 3.4 at NNE) with an external bank (Wth. 6.6m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.45m). At ESE corresponding breaks (Wth. 2m) in the enclosing banks with a ramp-like causeway across the fosse represent the original entrance. There is evidence for stone kerbing at both the internal and external faces of the inner bank on either side of the entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL013-006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on an ENE-facing slope in hilly coastal pasture. Extant remains comprise a subrectangular mound of earth and stone (dims. 20.7m NNW-SSE; 19.5m ENE-WSW) defined by a scarp (H 0.5m at ENE - 1.25m at SSW) which from SSW-SW-W has a well defined fosse at its foot (Wth. 4.3m; D 0.3m). An earlier report (OPW 1991) recorded a low bank of earth and stone at the upper edge of the scarp at SE (Wth. 2m; int. H 0.2m - 0.4m) of which there are no upstanding remains now visible. From W-WNW the perimeter is incorporated into a NNE-SSW field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 15 March 2013

• SL013-007 Ringfort - rath

  Situated on moderate S-facing slope in pasture. Raised roughly circular area (dims. 25m N-S; 27m E-W) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3-4.4m; int. H 0.9m). No fosse is visible at ground level. The exterior face of the bank has been eroded on its outer face for the majority of its circuit. The interior of the site has been raised to compensate for the underlying natural slope. A break (Wth 2.6m) in the bank at SW marks the position of the original entrance.
