Recorded monuments

• MA092-084 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located close to the NW boundary of the townland, straddling a rise in undulating terrain; views good but not extensive. Roughly circular, slightly raised area (diam. c. 21m) defined by a scarp (H 1.6m at E, 1m at NNW) outside which it is enclosed at S–NNE by a fosse (Wth 2m) with traces of a possible external bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.4m) surviving as a low rise, obscured by gorse, at NW–N. The fosse and possible outer bank are not evident on the E side, where there is a natural fall of ground. The interior slopes down markedly from centre to the E, but is almost entirely engulfed in gorse and difficult to inspect. There is a gap (Wth 2.6m) in the scarp at SSE defined on its W side by a low bank that extends across the fosse; it may mark an original entrance. A field fence/townland boundary skirts the W side of the rath, respecting its curve. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 24 May 2022

• MA092-088 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  In pasture, in lowlying wet, boggy ground. This consist of a narrow flat-topped linear rise (overall width c. 15m, top 6.5-9m; H 1.6-1.8m), probably natural, which was utilised as a causeway or trackway across an area of very wet ground. It extends for c. 100m on a NW−SE axis, but cannot be examined along its full length due to a dense covering of gorse and blackthorn. It appears to become broader (Wth c. 9m) on top and more rounded in profile towards its NW end. There are traces of stone kerbing along the top edge in parts. At its SE end it connects with a trackway, shown on the 25-inch plan, but now no longer in use, which continued to S for c. 200 where it intersected with a 19th-century road.

• MA092-103 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, boxed in on W, N and E by field fences, located on a slight rise bordering an expanse of lowlying wet ground which lies to N. This rath is not on 1838 OS 6-inch map; a hachured arc curving E−S−W is shown on 1917 edition. Slightly raised D-shaped area (36m E–W; 26.6m N–S) defined on the curving side by a scarp at E, by an earthen bank SE–SW, reduced again to a scarp at SW–W; outside this scarp/bank, it is enclosed at SE–SW by an a fosse (Wth 2.8m) and outer bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.4m). The fosse is flat-bottomed and well defined; the external bank survives in a shallow curve as a low earthen rise incorporating stones. The external bank is modified and incorporated at its E and W terminals into straight N–S field fences, with the field fence on E flanked on its E side by a farm track (Wth 3m). The straight side of the D-shaped area is defined by the remnants of an E−W field wall, collapsed to a low jumble of large stones and boulders. The interior of the D-shaped area slopes from centre down to N, and outside straight E-W wall at N, this slope continues, falling gently for c. 15m to N towards wet ground. A broad break (Wth c. 4m) in the bank at ESE may be the location of an original entrance, and there is a hint of a causeway across the fosse here. In the interior at W, close to the bank is a shallow depression (c. 5-6m WNW–ESE; c. 3m NNE–SSW), partly obscured by a thicket of brambles and blackthorn. The original nature and form of this enclosure is uncertain. It may have been designed as a D-shaped enclosure. If it is the surviving S half of an originally circular enclosure, what would have been the N half consists of sloping ground with no trace of an enclosing element now evident. The external bank is thickly covered in hazel, hawthorn and blackthorn, and a post and wire fence skirts its inner face. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 May 2022

• MA092-113 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In pasture, located at the base of a natural scarp which borders a flat, lowlying expanse of wet, boggy ground extending to N−NE. Compact U-shaped grass-covered mound (9.3m NW–SE; c. 11m NE–SW; H 0.6-1m) with a central depression (Wth 1.6m) opening to the NE facing the bog. The SW end of the mound backs up against rising ground. Shattered stone fragments in black, charcoal-rich peaty soil are exposed in parts. Large fragments of charcoal are exposed at the ESE terminal of the SE ‘arm’ of the mound. The mound is largely obscured by brambles, and its full extent is uncertain. A road/trackway (MA092-088----), which extends through the bog, is located c. 25m to SSE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 May 2022
