Recorded monuments

• MA119-004001 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture in gently undulating terrain, on a small hillock at the base of the S-facing slope of a ridge, on top of which a rath (MA119-003----) is located. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. A raised circular area enclosed by a possible fosse and external bank, and crossed centrally by a field boundary on a NNW−SSE axis, is recorded in an aerial photograph (SMR file: CUCAP AYR 85). When inspected in 2000, the transecting NNW−SSE field wall was intact, but the rath (on both side of the wall) had been levelled. To W of the field wall, a raised semicircular area (c. 36m N−S; c. 22m E−W; H c. 1.7m), can be still be traced defined on the straight side by the wall; immediately E of the wall, a very slight rise (c. 16m E−W) can be traced at SE but the original E and NE portions of the rath are obliterated by a concrete silage pit (28m NNW−SSE; 13m NE−WSW).

• MA119-004003 Field system
  Description

  In reclaimed pasture in gently undulating terrain. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Visible in aerial photographs (SMR file: CUCAP AYR 85 & 86; SMR file). Low stony banks (H 0.4-0.9m) define three contiguous subrectangular plots (25-50m max. dim.), immediately E of an enclosure (MA119-004002-). These appear to be the fragmentary remains of a field system pre-dating the larger, present-day rectilinear fields. The aerial photographs suggest that the field system originally extended further to S and W, but was removed by land reclamation works. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 May 2023
