• MA111-024 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  At the narrow E end of a pasture field, utilising a low elevation in an area of gently undulating terrain, with very good views in all directions, especially extensive to W. Raised circular area (35.6m E−W; 34.5m N−S) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 7m at W, 5.8m at E; int. H 0.7m at W, 0.3m at E; ext. H 1.7m at W, 1.5m at E), with traces of an external fosse. The bank has a high external scarp and a broad internal slump that merges almost seamlessly with interior ground level, giving the interior a somewhat saucer-shaped profile. The bank is best preserved on the N arc, and is noticeably lower and more slumped at E−SE. At SE there are traces of a ramp-like entrance (Wth c. 3m) which is slightly truncated by an E-W field fence that abuts the rath at this point. A line (L 2m) of medium-sized stones protruding from the top of the bank at NW may be remnants of a later field fence. A field fence clips the bank on the S arc, respecting the curve of the rath; here the bank is considerably defaced on its external slope and is now topped by a post and wire fence. A shallow depression (Wth 2.5-3m) outside the bank on the N arc and at E probably indicates a fosse. Immediately outside the bank at W there is a deep depression/sunken trackway (Wth base 2.6m; ext. D 0.7m) (shown on the 1930 OS 6-inch map), which probably utilises the line of an original fosse; it is bordered on its outer edge by a low rise (Wth 0.6-0.8m) lined with the stumps of felled hawthorn bushes. A low dilapidated scarp, from which stones protrude randomly, crosses the interior roughly centrally on a NE−SW axis, marking a slight change in ground level, ground level to W being higher. Grass cover; perimeter lightly ringed with hawthorn trees. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 20 December 2022

• MA111-039 Enclosure
  Description

  At the E edge of a rectangular pasture field bordered at E by a road, at N by a farmyard and at S by a house and garden. A circular embanked enclosure (diam. 18-20m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. There is no visible surface trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 December 2022

• MA111-100 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In rough pasture, located at the edge of an expanse of flat, lowlying boggy ground. A pool shown on the 1930 OS 6-inch map c. 30m to NE is now dry. Immediately to SW the ground rises slightly and becomes drier. A low, roughly horseshoe-shaped mound (11m NW–SE; 10m NE–SW; H 0.3m) marked by a noticeably thicker growth of long grass and plantain. The arms of the mound enclose a central depression (4m NE–SW; c. 2m NW–SE), open to NE, which may indicate the position of a trough. The mound is composed of black peaty soil overlying a concentration of stones. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 March 2023

• MA111-101 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In reclaimed pasture, bordering a flat expanse of boggy ground which stretches to SE–S. Prior to modern reclamation, the wet ground is likely to have extended closer to the fulacht fia. Prominent, roughly circular grass-covered mound (15.3m NE–SW; 15m NW–SE; H 0.4m at SW, 0.8m at NE). There is a pronounced circular depression (diam. c. 2m) at the NNW edge of the mound, but it is not clear if this represents the location of a trough or is merely the result of recent disturbance. The mound is composed of stones mixed with black soil. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 March 2023
