- LF023-030 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a low ridge in pasture. A raised subcircular area (c. 44m N-S; c. 37m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.3-0.4m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a wide shallow external fosse, which has since been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 3 December 2011
- LF023-035 Barrow - ring-barrow
Description
On low-lying ground, in the flood-plain of a stream. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A circular mound of earth and stone (diam. at base c. 18m; H 0.85-1m). The top is flat (diam. 12.8m) and is enclosed by fragmentary remains of a low bank of earth and stone (H 0.1-0.3m). At the base of the mound is a shallow fosse (Wth 3.1-3.5m; D 0.4m). At the outer lip of the fosse is a second bank (Wth 2-2.8m; H 0.2-0.45m) with traces of an external fosse (Wth 1.7m; D 0.15m) which is identifiable from SE-S-W. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LF023-036 Ringfort - rath
Description
At the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 32m) defined by a scarp (H 0.25-0.9m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a shallow external fosse; it has since been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 18 January 2012
- LF023-037 Ringfort - rath
Description
On the E slope of a low rise in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on an estate map in 1821 (NAI, MS 1451, 'Map of the lands of Tully, Co. Longford' by Alexander Wallace). Not marked on any ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LF023-062 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a gentle W-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 27m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.2m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a fosse at the base of the scarp, which has since been infilled. The S half of the rath has been levelled. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LF023-069 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
On the S-facing slope of a ridge in reclaimed grassland with good views in all directions. A cashel (LF023-071----) lies c. 300m to the SSE. A saucer-shaped area (diam. c. 22m) is enclosed by a wide, low denuded bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 6-8m; H c. 1m) that has been levelled at N due to the removal of an E–W field boundary into which it had been incorporated. The original entrance is not recognisable. Possibly the remains of a levelled rath or cashel. On the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map a post-medieval limekiln is depicted c. 15m to the NW.

- LF023-070 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a low rise on an E-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1887 revised ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1987 (SMR file) recorded a largely levelled, slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by an apparently natural scarp with a wide, shallow, external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. At the centre of the interior was an area of outcropping rock. Further levelling has since occurred and only the outline of the rath, marked by a low scarp (max. H 0.2m) from S-W-NNE, is identifiable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 5 December 2011
- LF023-071 Ringfort - cashel
Description
On a low rise in unimproved grassland peppered with outcropping rock and within a walled deerpark (LF023-135----). This monument is very unusual in that it combines natural rock outcrop with drystone walling to form a possible cashel-like enclosure. There is no evidence of any levelling of the rock outcrop which protrudes everywhere within the interior. The uneven rocky nature of the latter may suggest that the cashel was constructed as a livestock enclosure - associated with two houses (LF023-071001-; LF023-071002-) that lie c. 25m to the NW and c. 15m to the SW respectively, and the surrounding field system (LF023-071003-). The enclosure consists of a subcircular area (47.8m N–S; 42.2m E–W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (wall T c. 4m), which appears to follow the line of rock outcrop. A break (Wth 3m) at NW may indicate an entrance feature, but a second break (Wth 4m) at SSE appears to be more convincing as the original entrance. There is evidence of internal walling or outcrop forming small subdivisions or paddocks within the interior. There is a field-clearance cairn (diam. c. 6m; H 0.4m) in the S sector. A series of low drystone field walls radiate from the external face of the enclosing wall from NW-N-E and run into a curving field bank, associated with the field system, forming a series of small enclosures or paddocks, some of which contain ridge and furrow. The houses, field system and cashel all appear to be of contemporary date. (CUCAP, AVJ 51) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 11 January 2012
- LF023-071001 House - indeterminate date
Description
Within a walled deerpark (LF023-135-). A possible cashel (LF023-071----) lies c. 15m to the NE and another house (LF023-071002-) lies c. 50m to the N. This rectangular house (int. dims. 13m E-W; 4.3m N-S) is defined by low grass-covered wall-footings (H 0.3m; Wall T 0.85m). A small enclosure (int. dims. 15m x 11m) adjoins it to the E. The latter may have been a garden plot. A field system (LF023-071003-) is associated. (CUCAP, AVJ 51) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 18 June 2012
- LF023-071002 House - indeterminate date
Description
Within a walled deerpark (LF023-135-). A possible cashel (LF023-071----) lies c. 25m to the SE and another house (LF023-071001-) c. 50m to the S. This poorly preserved rectangular house (ext. dims. 10.7m E-W; 7.1m N-S) is defined by low grass-covered wall-footings (H 0.2; wall T 0.8m) and is divided into two rooms. The smaller room (int. dims. 5.4m N-S; 3m E-W) is at the W end. The original doorway is not evident but an internal doorway (Wth 0.9m) is visible at the S end of the internal dividing wall. A field system (LF023-071003-) is associated. (CUCAP, AVJ 51) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 18 June 2012
