• MA062-039 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located at the ENE end of a low, roughly E−W ridge, with a stream 100m to SW. This enclosure is not shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map; it is indicated on the 1919 edition as roughly oval, hachured enclosure (c. 20m N–S; c. 15m E–W), incorporated into or truncated by a NW−SE field boundary on its SW edge. There is no visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 November 2020

• MA062-041 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the NW outskirts of Swinford town, located on a rise with good views, particularly extensive to N. This rath is shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as an oval embanked enclosure, bordered on the W side by a field boundary. It is evident as a D-shaped platform (22.3m NNE-SSW; 21m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen scarp. The scarp (W slope 1.3-3m; H 1.6m) on the curving E side is defined. At S–SSW it is very low, almost flush with exterior ground level. This low area coincides with the spine of the ridge, and may be the location of an original entrance. The straight side to W is defined by an almost vertical scarp (H 0.9m), where the rath was truncated/incorporated into a field boundary as shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. The platform is grass-covered, with a scattering of small blackthorn bushes around the perimeter. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 November 2020

• MA062-042 Earthwork
  Description

  In pasture, on the NW outskirts of Swinford town, located at the break of slope on the SW side of a knoll. This is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a trapezoidal shaded feature (c. 20m E−W at N, c. 30m E−W, at N; c. 15-20m N−S); it is not shown on the 1919 edition. It was included in the SMR (1991) and RMP (1997) on the basis of an aerial photograph (OS 2 4438 -9; Roll 216, pr. 13; SMR file) in which it is visible as an irregular raised feature. The remains consist of grass-covered, irregular-shaped mound (max. dim. 9-10m; H c. 1.6m), heavily quarried and disturbed. Its original form and whether it is of archaeological significance are uncertain. It is partly obscured by hawthorn bushes. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 November 2020

• MA062-044 Earthwork
  Description

  In pasture, on the NW outskirts of Swinford town, located on knoll. This possible earthwork is not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. It was included in the 1991 SMR and the 1996 RMP on the basis of a feature visible on an aerial photograph (OS 2 4438 -9; Roll 216, pr. 13). This appears to be natural knoll (c. 40m NNW-SSE; c. 24m ENE-WSW), roughly oval in plan, with broadly sloping sides at NE-S-W. The top of the knoll has been dug into creating a roughly square, sunken area (c. 25-30m NNW-SSE; c. 24m ENE-WSW) defined on the W and SW sides by inward-sloping scarps. A modern shed is built against the base of the knoll at E, a portion of the SE side of the knoll has been quarried out, and a field boundary on an E-W axis extends across the S edge of the knoll. These changes to the knoll to be relatively recent. This feature does not appear to have archaeological significance. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 November 2020

• MA062-140 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a roughly E−W ridge, utilising a natural rise or knoll at the E end of the ridge. The location provides good view N−E over a flat expanse of mixed grassland and bog. Raised, roughly circular platform (20.8m N−S; 19m E−W) defined by a scarp (H c. 1.5-1.7m), which is enhanced at WNW−SE by the natural slope (H 4-5m) of the ridge, with a particularly steep fall at SE−S. At SW−W the scarp is lower where it merges with the spine of the ridge, and this is one possible location for an original entrance; this area is now partly obscured by a field fence which incorporates the base of the scarp. Another possible location for an entrance is at N where the ridge falls away in a long ramp-like slope. The interior is flat and featureless. A field fence skirts the W half of the rath, merging at W−SSW with the base of the enclosing scarp. There is a rath (MA062-037----) 300m to E.
