Recorded monuments

• KK027-050 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map and 1948 revision as a roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 57m). On the 1948 revision a field boundary is indicated running NW-SE through the SW sector of the enclosure. This monument was visited in January 1953 and described as follows, ‘No local name on the fort. The site is completely overgrown with hazel and briars and many tree stumps…It is small, circular surrounded by low bank and ditch, the central area is depressed to about the level of the surrounding fields’ (OPW Correspondence Files, 1953). A very basic accompanying sketch shows a circular area (diam. c. 35yds = c. 32m) enclosed by a wide bank, fosse (D c. 6’ = 1.8m) and low outer bank (overall Wth from top of inner bank to top of outer bank c. 10yds = c. 9m) (ibid.). The monument was subsequently levelled as part of Land Project works (ibid.). A field boundary, as indicated on the 1948 revision, remains. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 5 April 2023
