Recorded monuments

• MA072-061 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, located close to the break of slope at the W end of a roughly E–W ridge, overlooked at ENE by the summit of the ridge. There are views to W over a broad flat expanse of bog and elsewhere over gently undulating mixed pasture and bog, some of which is now under forestry. Raised, roughly circular area (27.7m N–S) defined by a dilapidated earthen scarp (H 1.2m at NNW; 0.7m at S). A field wall on a N–S axis extends across the interior, roughly centrally. To W of this wall, an impenetrable thicket of blackthorn and brambles obscures the rath; to E, the interior has an uneven, grassy surface with several shallow depressions, and slight slope down from centre to E and SE. The perimeter on the E half is ringed by hawthorn and scrub. At N a field wall, on a roughly E–W axis, overlies the top of the scarp. At the base of the scarp at NE–S there is another scarp (H 0.7m) faced with stone; this appears to be a late feature, the result of incorporation of the rath into a later system of field walls. There is a local tradition of a souterrain (MA072-061001-) in the rath. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 May 2021

• MA072-061001 Souterrain
  Description

  In rath (MA072-061). There is a local tradition of a souterrain in the rath, but no details on its exact location or its form. No trace of the souterrain was found during an inspection in 1997. There are a number of shallow surface depressions in the E half of the rath interior, but no definitive evidence that these relate to a souterrain. It was not possible to examine the W half of the rath, which is obscured by impenetrable blackthorn. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 May 2021
