Recorded monuments

• RO044-052 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a slight SE-facing slope. Circular overgrown area (diam. 47m E-W; 44m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.1-5.1m; int. H 0.1-0.5m; ext. H 0.8-0.95m) reduced to a scarp (H 0.5-0.65m) N-E-SSW, separated by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 6m at E to 9m at S; Wth of base 1.8m at E to 3.3-5.3m generally; D 0.3m at S to 0.8-1m generally) from an outer bank (Wth 3.6-6.5m; H 0.05-0.25m). There is an entrance (Wth 1.7m) through the inner bank at NNW, and a causeway (Wth 4m), possibly modern, at SE (max. ext. diam. 67m N-S; 66m E-W). Old field walls abut the outer bank at WSW and NW.

• RO044-069001 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  On a level landscape. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 71.5m E-W; 69.7m N-S) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 3.3-6m; int. H 0.2-0.9m; ext. H 0.7-1.8m) with some bushes, and a rounded fosse (Wth of top 6.8m; Wth of base 2.4m; D 0.8m) WSW-NNW. The entrance (Wth 2m) and causeway are at W. Field walls skirt the perimeter at E and S, probably resulting in the loss of the fosse here and causing a slight straightening of the bank at S. There are lazy-beds in the interior. A D-shaped grass-covered enclosure or annexe (RO044-069002-) (dims 60m E-W; 35m N-S) defined by a low bank (Wth 6.5m; H 0.2-0.4m) survives to the W, and an old field bank (L c. 100m) extends N from the perimeter. Rath (RO044-070----) is c. 10m to the E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
