Recorded monuments

• LF022-028001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle N-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a roughly circular enclosure designated 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument was cut at NW and SE by a public road and a roughly D-shaped enclosure/annexe (LF022-028002-) extended off the SE quadrant. It consists of a slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 45m NE-SW) defined by a low bank (top Wth 2m; base Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.65m) which has been mainly reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m) with slight traces of a possible infilled external fosse. A depression (Wth 2m) in the scarp at SW may mark the original entrance. Traces of the NE quadrant (12m NE-SW), which is overgrown with trees rendering inspection difficult, survive in the field on the opposite side of the roadway. There is a tradition of a possible souterrain (LF022-028003-) at the intersection between the rath and the enclosure/annexe. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 30 November 2011

• LF022-028002 Enclosure
  Description

  On a gentle N-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a D-shaped enclosure/annexe attached to the SE of a rath (LF022-028001-) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A slightly raised D-shaped area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a well-preserved, narrow, tree-lined bank (top Wth 2m; base Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) which has been reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m) in places. At the base of the scarp at S there is an external fosse (Wth 1.5m; D 0.2-0.4m) which has a sharp V-shaped profile. The well-preserved profile of the bank and the fosse is in stark contrast to the rath and suggests that this enclosure/annexe was constructed at a later date, possibly as a field boundary adjoining the rath. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 24 January 2012

• LF022-028003 Souterrain
  Description

  Within the interior of a rath (LF022-028001-). According to local tradition, there is a 'cave' in the E sector where it intersects with a later enclosure/annexe (LF022-028002-). It is said to extend northwards under the NW-SE roadway that cuts through the N half of the rath. A low, sod-covered, stony rise in the centre of the rath, adjacent to the road, may indicate the souterrain. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 5 September 2012
