Recorded monuments

• MA091-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Large, slightly raised subcircular area (83m N–S; 94.7m E–W) defined by a scarp (H 1.5m at E, 1.25m at W; H 0.5m at N), which retains a hint of an internal rim in parts. At SE–S where it has been incorporated into a later field fence, the scarp is topped by a dilapidated bank of earth and stone, and a small water tank is set into the bank. Immediately outside the scarp on the SW arc there is a very shallow depression (Wth c. 4m) bordered on its external edge by a slight rise; these features may be the remains of a fosse and external bank. The location of the original entrance is unclear. There are several narrow breaks in the scarp, eroded by farm stock, and at NE there is a low section (Wth 3.5m) which allows tractor access to the interior. The interior is level and exhibits very faint traces of cultivation ridges on a NE–SW axis. In the NW quadrant immediately adjacent to the scarp, there is a low square platform (c. 9m NNW–SSE; 9.6m ENE–WSW; H 0.4m) with a slightly raised rim on the N and S sides. Grass cover; post and wire fence on E−W axis immediately to S of rath. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 7 February 2022
