  Description

  In rough stony pasture, located on a low rise overlooking the E shoreline of Lough Brohly, which is c. 60m to W; good views generally over the surrounding undulating grassland. Not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, but shown on later editions. Slightly raised circular area (28m N−S; 27.5m E−W) defined by a scarp which is topped by a stone bank/drystone wall (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.3m, at S). The wall is built against the external face of the rath scarp, and forms a low tumbled stone bank on its inner rim, which is sod-covered in parts. Concentrations of small stones and large boulders along the top of the wall suggest that a lot of field clearance stones have been piled up around the circuit over time. In parts, discrete sections of the wall expand to 2-2.5m in width, where larger accumulations of field clearance stone have been heaped against its external face. Overall, the wall is similar in size and form to adjacent field walls, which abut and radiate from the rath at NE, E and SW. There is a narrow break (Wth 1m) in the wall at NNE, and a low broken down section at SW, but the location of the original entrance is uncertain. The rath interior appears to be slightly higher in the center and N. Grass and fern in the interior; blackthorn and brambles around the perimeter. There is another rath (MA040-067----) 130m to NE.

• MA040-067 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located 150m E of the Lough Brohly, with rising ground to SE. Circular area (diam. c. 22m) enclosed by a broad, low partly sod-covered stone bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 0.3-0.55m, 1m at W). The flat interior appears slightly sunken relative to exterior ground level. The stone bank is fairly compact and well defined on the W arc, but at NE−E it expands to a broadly slumped width of c. 8m where heaps of field clearance stones have been piled along the circuit; and at SE−S it has been levelled to a broad low stony rise (Wth c. 7m). There is moderate blackthorn and hawthorn growth around the perimeter, with some blackthorn encroaching on the interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 June 2020

• MA040-077 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on a low rise. An oval embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25m NW−SE; c. 20m NE−SW) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is shown on the 1922 edition as a D-shaped area truncated by field boundaries at NW and E. A low irregular-shaped rise marks the location; there is no other visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 June 2020
