Recorded monuments

• MA080-012 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, in a thicket of blackthorn and hawthorn bushes, located on a ridge with good views to NE along a small stream valley. This rath is shown as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map but is not shown on later map editions. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 28m) defined by a low, degraded earth and stone bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.45m at E) incorporated at SE–SSW into a later field wall. At SSW–W there is an arc of outer stone bank (Wth c. 2m; H 0.3-0.5m) with an intervening gap or fosse (Wth 3-3.7m); this peters out at W and is truncated by the field wall at S. On the N arc, where the enclosure utilises the steep, natural fall of ground, the inner bank presents as a stony scarp (Wth slope 3.4m; ext. H c. 1.35m), and the outer bank may have been incorporated into the line of a field fence, which coincides with the townland boundary. There is a gap (Wth 2m) in the inner bank at ESE, now partly blocked by a later field fence, which may be an original entrance. The rath interior is dotted with small heaps of stones and field clearance debris, and clumps of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 November 2021

• MA080-013 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough/average pasture, on level ground on the top of a ridge, with a fall of ground to SW into a stream valley. This rath has been levelled, but the outline of a circular area (diam. c. 27m) defined on the perimeter by a slight rise/undulation, representing a levelled bank, can still be traced. The circuit of the undulation is truncated at W by a straight NW−SE field wall and at NW by a straight NE−SW field wall. At W a short arc of scarp survives, protected in the angle formed by the junction of these two field walls. The interior is level and not significantly raised above exterior ground level. In the NW quadrant there is a small depression (diam. c. 0.5m) infilled with stones. The entrance may have been at E where there appears to be a gap (Wth c. 2m) in the enclosing undulation.
