- MA118-171 Ringfort - rath
Description
In the SE corner of a pasture field, located in gently rolling terrain. This rath is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Slightly raised D-shaped area (39m E−W; 29.5m N−S to field wall) defined on the curving side at SW−SE by low bank (Wth 2m at W, 2.5m at E; int. H 0.1-0.25m; ext. H 0.3m at W, 0.75m at E) and on the straight side to S by an E−W field wall, which forms the S boundary of the modern field. The enclosing bank is reduced almost to a scarp at W and to a low undulation for sections at NW-N. The best preserved section is on the E arc, where the external slope is enhanced by a natural dip in ground level. The rath must originally have been oval or circular, but the S arc (to S of the E−W field wall) has been levelled. A gap (Wth 3m) at E may be an original entrance. The interior is flat, featureless and grassy. There is a subcircular quarry pit (diam. c. 10m; D 1.5m) 3m to W of the rath, now partly concealed by hawthorn trees and overgrowth. A roughly N−S length of stony bank (Wth c. 1.7m; H 0.3m) extends between the quarry pit and the E−W property wall at S; this appears to be a remnant of a field wall, probably of later date than the rath; the gap between it and the rath bank varies between 2.5-3m. Another oval quarry pit (8m NW−SE; 5.5m NE−SW; D 1.4m) is located immediately to NE of the rath. There is a rath (MA118-045----) 150m to WNW Attached images: MA118-171----_01.JPG Viewed from N MA118-171----_02.JPG Viewed from NE MA118-171----_03.

- MA118-046 Enclosure
Description
This monument is shown as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map but is not shown on later editions. It was recorded as levelled by Lavelle (1994, 55, no. 380). An inspection in 2007, in advance of an adjacent development, found that the outline of the W half of the enclosure can still be traced. It is evident as a semi-circular raised area or platform (c. 25m N−S; c. 13m E−W) delimited by a scarp (H 0.2-0.4m), and bordered on the straight E side by a concrete wall (Crumlish 2007, 5). To E of the wall, the E half of the enclosure has been entirely levelled; at the time of the 2007 inspection, a 20th-century bungalow stood in this area but has since been removed.
