• MA015-039 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, straddling the E side of a low rise in rolling terrain dotted with drumlin-like knolls. Immediately to W there is an expanse of lowlying wet pasture. There is a canalised stream/drain 30m to S. Views are good generally, somewhat restricted to N by gently rising ground. This rath is named ‘Cloonaspick Fort’ on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a circular area (estimated diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank/scarp (H 0.4m at NNW; 0.7-0.8m at SE, 1.2m at W), outside which is a fosse (Wth 2m) with an external bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.1m at W). Dense blackthorn bushes have colonised the interior, and an almost impenetrable ring of blackthorn, brambles and ash trees grow on the perimeter. Where the inner bank/scarp can be accessed, it appears to be well defined, retaining a slight internal lip at SE. The fosse survives as a distinct depression on the W half, but at E is merely a level gap between the two banks. The external bank is evident as a low, sod-covered rise topped with stone in parts, rather degraded at NE, with several eroded gaps. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 December 2018

• MA021-094 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located on level, lowlying ground marked by a dense growth of yellow flag and rushes, with gently rising ground immediately to SW. Slightly raised, circular area (28m NE–SW; 28m NW–SE) defined by a levelled bank/scarp with an external fosse. The levelled bank is evident at S–W as a slightly raised rim (Wth 2m), with a low, broadly slumped external slope (Wth slope c. 3m; H 0.4m); it is reduced elsewhere to a slight scarp, barely discernible at E. The fosse can be traced at SE–NW as a very shallow depression (Wth c. 4m), which is most clearly defined at W where it cuts across the base of rising ground. The interior is flat and is marked by a dense growth of yellow flag. Compiled by: Jane O’ Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 February 2016

• MA022-001 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located on top of a low knoll, straddling the break of slope on the S side, with good views in all directions. Circular area (14.5m WNW–ESE; 12.4m NNE–SSW) defined by low remnants of an earthen bank/scarp. The bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.45m, at WNW), which incorporates some stone, survives only in discrete sections at WNW–N, and elsewhere is reduced to a scarp (0.7m at NE, 1.3m at SW). The interior slopes from centre down to S–SW. There is a small heap (max. dim. c. 1.5m) of sod-covered stone in the interior to SE of centre, and a similar heap of stones on top of the scarp at E.

• MA022-002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating average pasture, located on a low rise, which provides very good views in all directions. It is located on the SE boundary of Castlereagh townland, at the junction with two other townlands, Rathowen East and Townplots West. Raised circular area (27.8m E-W; 28m N-S) defined at SE-S by remnants of an earthen bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.6m), and elsewhere by a scarp (ext. slope Wth 3.2m; ext. H 1.7m). Outside the bank/scarp it is enclosed by a fosse (Wth 3.8m) with an external bank (at NNW: Wth 4.8m, top 2m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1m). A field bank/townland boundary truncates the external bank at S. A ditch (Wth 1.6m; ext. D 0.4m) lies immediately outside the external bank at NE-SW, but this appears to be a late feature, although it may be on the line of an original fosse. The interior slopes down slightly to the SE. The original entrance may have been at the SE, where the scarp is lowest, but there is no clearly defined gap. A possible rectangular house (MA022-002001-) is located against the bank at the S. Two roughly parallel, linear scarps/banks (Wth 1.4m; H c. 0.2m), set c. 3m apart on SE-NW axis extend through the interior; these appear to be remnants of internal divisions, of uncertain date. At its SE end, the western bank/division curves to E to meet the eastern bank. The surface of the interior is rather uneven, with numerous hummocks and hollows which probably result from relatively recent disturbance. There is a possible house (MA022-002002-) immediately to W of the rath. A rath (MA022-003----) is prominently located on a knoll c. 150m to ENE, an enclosure/house site (possible) (MA022-004----) is c. 150m to E, and a rath (MA022-005----) is c. 250m to ESE, all of which are visible from this rath.

• MA022-002001 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In the interior of a rath (MA022-002----). This possible house, which abuts the inner face of the rath bank at S, is evident as a rectangular area (5m N-S; 6.5m E-W) defined by an ephemeral stony bank or wall (Wth c. 1m; H 0.2m). On the N side the wall expands in width (Wth 1.8). There is another possible house (MA022-002002-) immediately outside the rath to W. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 March 2019

• MA022-002002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In pasture, located immediately to W of a rath (MA022-002----). Rectangular platform (10m NNE-SSW; 9.4m WNW-ESE) defined by a scarp (Wth 0.95m; ext. H 0.75m, at NNE), and enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.7m; ext. D 0.5m). Remnants of an outer bank/counterscarp survive as a low rise at N (Wth 1.3m; ext. H 0.2m) and E (Wth c. 2m; ext. H 0.1m). The interior slopes down slightly to E. There is a low area (Wth c. 2.5m) in the enclosing scarp towards the N end of the E side, and a similar low area in the scarp at W; either or both may mark an entrance. Another possible house (MA022-002001-) is located in the rath interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 March 2019
