• MA070-131001 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  In pasture, located at the NNE end of a hillock/drumlin which slopes down to the WNW, NNE and steeply to the ESE. This rath is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 35m), with a souterrain marked as ‘Cave’ in the NE quadrant; it is not shown on later map editions. The enclosing bank was partly levelled in the past. The remains consist of a roughly circular raised area (34m NNE-SSW) defined by a broadly sloping scarp (H 1.5m at N; 2m at W) which is entirely levelled for a short section at S. A souterrain (MA070-131002-) is located in a copse of hazel and hawthorn in the SE quadrant. (Pers. comm. Richard Crumlish).

  Description

  In a rath (MA070-131001-) This souterrain is indicated as ‘Cave’ in the NE quadrant of the rath on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. When inspected in 2021, an opening into the souterrain was located in a copse of hazel and hawthorn in the SE qudarant of the ringfort. A lintel-roofed creep (L 3.2m NNE/SSW; Wth 0.7m; H 0.9m) leads down into a chamber. The chamber (4.8m NNE-SSW; W 2.7m; H 2.0m) is of drystone construction with a corbelled roof. The floor is strewn with loose rubble. A recess/niche (W 0.36m; H 0.36m; D 1.85m) is built into the wall at a height of 0.78m above the floor level at the NNE end of the chamber. Immediately to W of the recess there is an lintelled opening (W 0.56m; H 0.56m) at a height of 0.36m above floor level into a passage, which extends to NNE but is partly collapsed. (Pers. comm.
