Recorded monuments

• RO054-021 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  The name Rath na Sluagh - the rath of the crowds - was recorded by John O'Donovan in the 1830s for this monument (Herity 2010, 15). It is situated on a slight knoll. It is a circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 45m E-W; 42.5m N-S) sloping down to the SE defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4-4.5m; int. H 0.1-0.4m; ext. H 1.3-1.5m) which is reduced to a scarp (H 1.5m) NNE-SSE. This is separated by a fosse (Wth of top 4.7-6.3m; Wth of base 2.2-3.2m; D 0.4-0.9m) from an overgrown outer bank (Wth 4-4.5m; ext. H 0.7-0.9m). There are traces of internal and external facing-stones on both banks. The entrance through the inner (Wth 4m) and outer (Wth 5m) banks and a causeway (Wth 8m) are at S.
