• MA102-031 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, utilising a natural rise in undulating terrain. Views are relatively open now to NE–E but somewhat restricted elsewhere by natural landscape undulations and high field fences. There is a slight natural depression c. 10m to SW marked by wettish, rush-grown ground. Circular platform (24.6m N–S; 30.9m E–W) defined by a scarp (H 1.8m at NW; 0.9m at SE). The scarp has a broad, pronounced external slope (Wth c. 4m) but is noticeably lower at the E–SE. It is incorporated at SSE–NW into remnants of a field fence. A shallow depression (Wth 3.5-4m) outside the scarp in the NW arc may be an infilled fosse. There is a slight slope in the rath interior from centre down to E–SE. It is possible that the entrance was on the low SE side of the rath but no clearly defined gap is evident. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 September 2022
