- MA015-048 Enclosure
Description
In pasture/silage, located on a rise, on top of a ridge, with extensive views N-E over lowlying coastal grasslands, and beyond to Rathlacken Bay and Killala Bay. To S–SW the land rises to another ridge. This rath, named ‘Mullaghorn Fort’ on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps, is shown on the 1838 edition as a circular enclosure, and on the 1922 edition as a penannular enclosure truncated on the E edge by a quarry. The 1838 OS Letters record that the name is derived from the Irish name ‘Mullach Chairnn, that is the Height or Hill of the Carn’ and describes the enclosure as follows: ‘This is built like an earthen fort (lios) and has round stones of very great size placed circularly on its border, where the parapet of the fort would occupy. The diameter within this circle of large stones, which are placed very contiguous (not closely) to one another is twenty six yards = seventy eight paces and around the circle immediately outside measures eighty paces = two hundred and forty two feet.’ (O’Flanagan, 1927, 137) It survives as a slightly raised, semi-circular area (29.7m NW–SE; 17.6m NE–SW to quarry face) defined SE–NW by remnants of a bank consisting of a low scarp (ext. H 0.4m) topped with a broad, low internal lip (Wth c. 4m). There is no trace of the circle of large stones mentioned in the OS Letters. The straight side of the enclosure at NNE-E is formed by a quarry pit which has truncated approximately a third of the enclosure. The quarry pit is dug to a depth of c. 2m below level of the rath interior, and extends for c. 45-50m to NNE and E of the enclosure, with the deepest part to NNE-NE.

- MA015-045 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, located on a broad terrace on an E–W ridge. There is a break of slope 30m to N of the rath, from where ground falls away steeply. Raised circular area (30.4m E–W; 31m N–S) defined by an earthen bank with an external fosse. The bank (Wth c. 4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.6m, at E) is most substantial on the E half of the rath; on the W half it retains only a low internal rim and is reduced to a scarp in parts. The fosse (Wth 3-3.5m; D 0.4m) can be traced SW–N as a shallow depression; it is not evident on the E half of the rath, and at S–SSW it is overlain by a field fence bordering a WNW–ESE road. Outside the fosse at W there is a slight rise (Wth 1.4m), marked by longer grass growth, which may indicate a counterscarp or external bank. There is a gap (Wth 2.4m) in the bank at NNE, possibly indicating the original entrance. In the N half of the interior, a low but distinct scarp (H 0.55), on a NNE–SSW axis, extends for 13m from the bank at NNE towards the centre. It defines the E side of slightly raised area (c. 10-13m NNE−SSW; c. 9m WSW–ESE) in the NW quadrant. At W close to the inner face of the bank, there is a shallow roughly circular pit or depression (3m N–S; 2m E–W; D 0.3m). Hawthorn, blackthorn and brambles ring the rath perimeter. Another rath (MA015-046----) is located 175m to ENE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 December 2018
