Recorded monuments

• WM022-024 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a gentle S-facing slope, with good views to N, E and S, overlooked by gently rising ground to W. Bivallate ringfort described in 1971 and 1976 as an oval-shaped area (dims. 39m E-W; 27m N-S) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The inner bank is quite low and almost reduced to a scarp. The intervening fosse is wide and shallow. The outer bank is low and wide and it is overlain by a post-1700 field bank at S and W. There is no obvious entrance feature. The interior has a gentle NW-facing slope and is quite uneven with wide shallow depressions & low rises. The enclosing element of the monument from SSE-S-W-NNW represents the townland boundary with Farrannamoreen. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 16 July 2019

• WM022-025 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in low-lying level pasture with good views in all directions. Bivallate ringfort described in 1971 and 1978 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 36m) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse, an outer bank with external fosse. The inner bank is quite low and is almost reduced to a scarp. It is slightly defaced at WNW which corresponds to a causeway-like feature across the fosse at this point which may represent the original entrance. A similar feature at SE appears to be due to disturbance. There are traces of a U-shaped intervening fosse. An outer bank and an outer fosse are visible from S-W-N-E. A post-1700 field fence extends just outside the inner bank from WNW-N-NE. The interior has a slight W-facing slope.
