• MA071-127 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a rise, with a steep slope on the N side, dropping to a stream at the base of the slope 50m to N. There are good views of the surrounding undulating terrain. Slightly raised circular area (34m N−S; 33m N−S) defined by an earthen scarp. The scarp (H 1.6m; Wth slope 3.6m, at S) is rather slumped and dilapidated on the SW arc; it is the scarp is modified at W−SE to serve as a field fence (H 1m at NW), and is faced with stone and topped with a post-and-wire fence. There are two breaks/eroded sections, one at SSE and one at W. The interior is slightly domed or raised along a central E−W axis There is small area of quarrying on the slope to NW of the rath. Two other raths (MA071-128----; MA071-129----) are located 230m to NE and 170m to S, respectively; both are visible from this rath. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 August 2021

• MA071-128 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, crowning the top of a hillock, with very good views over the valley of the Gweestion River. The river is 70m to E, at the base of the hillock, and a tributary stream skirts the W−NW side of the hillock. Roughly circular area (29m N-S; 18.5m E-W to quarried edge) defined by a scarp, outside which it is enclosed by a fosse with an external bank. The rath encompasses the summit of the hillock, with the enclosing scarp, fosse and outer bank cut into the hill slope. A large portion of the E side and part of the S arc of the rath have been quarried away. The enclosing scarp (H 2.6m; Wth slope 3m, at W) remains intact SSW−NE. The fosse and external bank survive at S−NE, with a break in the external bank NNW. The fosse takes the form of a terrace (Wth 2-2.5m) with the external bank (Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.7-0.8m; ext. H c. 2m, at W) on its outer edge, merging with the hill slope. At E, a straight NE−SW field wall overlies/truncates the fosse and external bank. A field wall/property boundary on a NW−SE axis crosses the rath to W of centre. The interior is grassy; the perimeter is encircled by hawthorn and blackthorn scrub and brambles. There is another rath (MA071-127---) 230m to E. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 August 2021

• MA071-129 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a ridge top, providing very good views. There is a stream at the base of the ridge slope 190m to W. Roughly circular platform (diam. c. 28m) defined by a bank/scarp, outside which it is enclosed by a fosse with an external bank. The platform is defined by a scarp (H 1.2m) at N−NE and by a compact gravelly earthen bank (W 3.6m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.6m) at ENE−SW. The bank becomes increasingly low and eroded at SW−N (and largely obscured by overgrowth) and is reduced to a low rise at W−N. The fosse (Wth 4.3m) and outer bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.4m) can be traced at S−W. They are cut into rising ground at S, which enhances the depth of the fosse and reduces the external height of the bank. At SW−W the external bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.9m) incorporates a lot of stone (some of it possibly field clearance). The fosse and external bank are not evident at W−N. At N−SE a field wall replaces the external bank, but respects the curve of the rath. The intervening gap/fosse between the wall and the rath platform expands to a width of 5.9m. There is an entrance gap (Wth 2m) in the inner bank at ENE, flanked on the S terminal by a large prostrate stone. The interior is largely impenetrable due to dense blackthorn scrub. Part of the ridge slope immediately to N of the rath appears to have been quarried out and is now engulfed in a thicket of blackthorn. There is a rath (MA071-127----) 175m to N.

• MA071-131 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In average, rather stony pasture, on a rise with a slight SW-facing slope, with good views over the surrounding gently undulating terrain. Shown on the 1913 OS 6-inch map as a subcircular area (diam. c. 30m) truncated at W and N by straight field boundaries and crossed to E of centre by a road on a NNE−SSW axis. This rath has been greatly damaged. The road has been removed but a NNE−SSW field wall which bordered the W side of the road still crosses the centre of the rath. To E of this wall, the rath has been levelled; slight undulations in the ground surface partly indicate its original outline. The W half (c. 28m N-S; c. 13m E-W) of the rath is extant but is tightly boxed in at S, W and N by field walls. At S a low bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.4m) can be traced in a shallow E−W curve but its external slope has been is cut to the vertical. faced with stone and incorporated into a straight E−W field wall. The W arc of the rath has been truncated and overlain by a N−S field wall, which has a very slight curve; a row of low stones protruding from the sod immediately to W of this wall may mark the original outer edge of the rath. At N a slight curving rise appears to be another remnant of the rath bank and this too is incorporated on its outer edge into a straight E−W field wall. The interior area of the extant W half has an uneven, stony surface, and is engulfed in a thicket of blackthorn and hawthorn scrub. There is an enclosure (MA071-132----) 150m to SE.

• MA071-132 Enclosure
  Description

There is a rath (MA071-131----) 150m to NW. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 September 2021
