• MA092-051 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In improved pasture, located on a rise, overlooked to SW by rising ground, but with good views N–NE of undulating grassland intermixed with bog. When inspected in 1984, this rath consisted of a substantial circular platform (21m E−W; 18m N−S) up to 3m high on the W side but with a lower slumped slope to E. It was incorporated into field fences at SW–NW and at N (as shown on the 1917 OS 6-inch map) (SMR file 1984). It was subsequently levelled during land reclamation in the late 1980's/early 1990's. A slightly raised circular area (19m NE–SW; 21.7m NW–SE) is still evident, defined by the broadly slumped slope (H 0.9-1.6; Wth slope 4-7m) of a levelled scarp, which merges seamlessly with the contours of the natural rise. The NW quadrant of the interior appears slightly higher, and there is a gentle slope from centre down to SE. The entrance may have been at SE where the levelled scarp merges externally with a natural spine of raised ground. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 March 2022
