- LF021-053 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a gentle SSE-facing slope. A raised subcircular area (c. 55m NNW-SSE; c. 52m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.3-5.1m; H 1.3m max.) with a poorly preserved, shallow external fosse (Wth 3.7m; D 0.4m). From SSE-S-WNW modern drystone-walling has been applied to both faces of the bank and the fosse has been largely infilled. From NW-N-NE there is a modern field boundary at the outer lip of the fosse. A break (Wth 2.3m) in the bank at SSE probably marks the original entrance. The interior is densely overgrown with scrub rendering inspection impossible. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 November 2011
- LF022-040 Ringfort - rath
Description
On the E-facing slope of a ridge in pasture. A raised oval area (c. 46m ENE-WSW; c. 35m NNW-SSE) enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1m), which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. There are remains of a disused silage pit in the interior. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LF022-049 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a low rise of ground in moderately drained pasture with good views in all directions. Depicted as a circular enclosure (approx. diam. 43m) with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been levelled, however, the remains of a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.5m; ext. H 0.4m; int. H 0.2m) may still be traced at N and E. A late 19th-/early 20th-century farmhouse has been built in the S sector of the interior. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 November 2011
- LF022-053 Enclosure
Description
