• MA067-020001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on top of a steep ENE−WSW ridge, on a peninsula jutting into the N side of Newport Bay. There is a steep fall of ground, reflecting the natural slope of the ridge, immediately to N and S of the rath. The rath overlooks a shallow sea inlet on the N side of the ridge, and over a larger inlet on the S side. This rath is named ‘Lismore’ on the 1838 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a raised circular area (26m N−S; 25.5m E−W) defined by a bank (Wth 2.25m; H 0.85m at W), reduced to a scarp (H 2.5m) with a low internal lip at N and S. Stones protrude from the bank and from the S face of the scarp, and oyster and limpet shells are incorporated into the bank in parts. Traces of an external fosse were evident on the W half of the rath during an inspection in the first half of the 20th-century, but were not noted during a 1987 inspection. There is a break in the bank at WSW, but it is unclear if this represents an original entrance. A chapel (MA067-020003-) is indicated in the S half of the interior as 'Chapel (Site of)' on the 1920 OS 6-inch map, but no trace survives at ground level.

• MA067-020002 Souterrain
  Description

  Located in the N half of a of a rath (MA067-020001-). This souterrain, indicated as ‘Cave’ on the 1838 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps, is of dry stone construction and is roughly L-shaped in plan. A collapsed opening, located to N of centre in the rath interior, gives on to passage (L c. 8m; Wth 0.7m; H 1.2m) which extends to NNW, widening towards its N end. The walls of the passage incline gently inwards towards the top to support the roof of flat slabs. In the N wall of the passage there is a short creep (Wth c. 0.6m; H 0.9m) which opens into the S end of a small corbelled chamber (H c. 1.5m), which partly underlies the rath bank. The roof of the chamber is partly collapsed. Another passage extends to W from the chamber, coinciding with the inner edge of the rath bank, but this passage is collapsed and is evident as a grassed-over surface depression (L 11m E−W); according to local information, the stones were removed in the past to build nearby farm buildings.

• MA067-020003 Chapel
  Description

  This chapel is indicated as 'Site of Old Chapel' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as 'Chapel (Site of)' the 1920 edition. The outline of a rectangular building (c. 10m E−W; c. 6m N−S) was still discernible in the first half of the 20th-century, defined by low sod-covered foundations, with a gap in the E wall (SMR file). An inspection in 1987 found no visible trace of the chapel. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 24 July 2017
