• MA090-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In average pasture, located on a drumlin ridge, which provides excellent views of the surrounding countryside. This rath is named ‘Lisheenmoyle’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a roughly circular area (diam. c. 33-35m) defined by a low bank (Wth c. 2-2.5m; H c. 0.4-0.5m; ext. H 0.5-1m) of earth and stone. A minor road, already constructed by the time of the 1838 map, bisects the rath to N of centre, on an E−W axis. A N−S field wall, covered in dense blackthorn, extends through the centre the rath to S of the road. When inspected in 1987, it was noted that a section of the bank at SW−W had been levelled. In 2004 reclamation work resulted in the destruction of another arc (L c. 14m) of bank in the SE quadrant of the ringfort. In 2003 the bank on the E side of the rath, where it intersects with the road on the S side, was damaged during a Mayo Co. Co road widening operation. An archaeological excavation (03E0955) was subsequently undertaken in advance of the completion of the road works (King 2003). The excavation was limited to the road cut, and focused on the portion of the rath that lies on the S side of the road. A small part (7.5m by 3m) of the interior was investigated, but this area had been disturbed and produced no in situ remains. The N-facing road-side embankment was also examined and recorded. No evidence of a fosse was evident where the embankment section face cut through the line of the enclosing bank. A drystone wall, possibly part of a souterrain (SL090-011001-), was exposed in section in the embankment, roughly in the centre of the rath interior (King 2003, 6-9).

• MA090-011001 Souterrain
  Description

  Located in a rath, which is named ‘Lisheenmoyle’on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. In 2003 an archaeological excavation (03E0955) was undertaken in advance of the completion of a road-widening scheme on a stretch of the road that cuts E−W through the centre of the rath (King 2003). The excavation was limited to the road cut, and focused on the portion of the rath that lies on the S side of the road. A possible souterrain were exposed in section in the N-facing road-side embankment. The remains consist of a wall (Wth 1.6m; H 1m) of drystone construction, which may represent the exterior wall face of a souterrain chamber. The wall is built with large and medium-sized limestone rubble (average size 0.3-0.4m), with the interstices between the larger stones filled with smaller stones (average size 0.1-0.2m). The upper W edge of the wall abuts a large, natural limestone boulder (L 1.55m; H 0.59m). The top of the wall is 1.5m below the top of the embankment, the base of the wall coincided with subsoil level. The wall was recorded and left in situ (King 2003, 6-9).
