• MA022-052 Enclosure
  Description

  In an area of undulating average pasture, located close to the E boundary of the townland. It straddling an ENE-facing slope, which borders the W side of a small, roughly N–S valley of wettish ground. There is a small lake at the N end of the valley, 230m distant. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular, ringfort-sized enclosure, encircled by trees and incorporated into the line of a NW–SE field boundary; indicated on the 1929 edition as a polygonal, tree-planted enclosure incorporated into a NW–SE field boundary. It consists of an oval, sunken area (37m N–S; 25.5m E–W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m at E, 3m at W; int. H 0.2m at E, 0.75m at W; ext. H 1.25m at E, 1.4m at W). The bank is incorporated into a field fence, which continues to NNE and SSW beyond the rath. Outside the bank on the W half, there is a field ditch (Wth 1.4m; D 0.2m), which continues beyond the enclosure to N where it merges with the field ditch bordering the NNE-SSW field fence. The interior is markedly sunken, sloping down steeply from the bank at W to the centre; this may be the result of quarrying. In the E half, there is a linear, sod-covered rise (Wth 5.5m E–W) of earth and stones, which extends almost the full N–S with of the interior; this also suggests disturbance or quarrying. This may be an enclosure or rath that has been partly quarried out The perimeter is ringed with hawthorn, brambles and ash and Scot’s pine trees. There is a rath (MA022-064----) 120m to SSW.

• MA022-063 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In wettish-average, rolling pasture, located on a low rise, close to the townland boundary in the SW end of the townland. This rath is named ‘Rathnageeroge’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a raised, roughly circular area (24.5m N–S; 27.5m E–W) defined by a bank (Wth 3.3m at NE; 3.5m at SW; int. H 0.1m at NE, 0.4m at SW; ext. H 2m at NE, 1.1m at SW) of earth and stone. The rath appears to have been built up on the S half to compensate for the slight natural slope and create a level interior. Stones protrude randomly from the bank. At the NNE a short section of a drystone walling, four to five courses high, constructed of small to medium-sized stones, is exposed along the base of the external face of the bank. The bank is narrower in width (Wth 1.8m) at this point, in contrast with the broad external slump evident elsewhere on the N half of the enclosure; this walling may be is the result of relatively recent modification. A few ash trees growing on the perimeter. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 May 2019

• MA022-064 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In gently undulating wettish-average pasture, located on the SE-facing slope of a low rise, giving very good views. Raised, roughly circular area (25.4m NW–SE; 22.8m NE–SW) defined by a stony earthen bank (Wth 4m NW; 3.6m at SE; int. H 0.75m at NW, 0.04m at SE; ext. H 1.3m at NW, 1.2m at SE). The interior is level and featureless. There are several eroded breaks in the bank. The entrance may have been on the E half of the enclosure, where there are two gaps: (Wth 2m) at the ENE, (Wth 2m) at SE. Grass cover, with some gorse on the bank at S–W. There is an enclosure (MA022-052----) 125m to NNE, and there are two raths (MA022-065----; MA022-066----) c. 275m to SE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 May 2019

• MA022-065 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating, wettish-average pasture, close to the townland boundary in the SE end of the townland, located on a low rise with a steep slope on the N side, with good views in all directions. This rath is named ‘Rathduff’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps, where it is shown as a circular, ringfort-sized enclosure. It has been levelled, and is now evident as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m) of rough vegetation. According to local information, it was originally enclosed by a stony earthen bank, and a lot of stone and cockle shells were exposed when it was levelled. There is a rath (MA022-066----) 100m to E, and another (MA022-064----) 280m to NW. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 May 2019
