• SL019-104 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Depicted as a circuclar enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The site has been levelled. Remains comprise an oval area (dims. 25m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by a slight rise. At NW are a number of contiguously-set boulders which may be the remnants of a kerb. From SW-W-NW the rise is overlain by a modern N-S field boundary. No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-107 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a rise in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (dims. 24.5m N-S; 23.4m E-W) enclosed from NE-E-S by the sod-covered remnants of a bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3.5m; int. H 0.4m) with evidence of possible kerbing. At the outer foot of the bank at S is a low rise (Wth. 1.8m; H 0.4m) which may be collapse or simply field clearance deposits. For the remainder of the circuit the bank has been incorporated into the field boundary. No fosse. Break in bank at E (Wth. 1.8m) may represent original entrance. Immediately inside of this, in the NE quadrant, is a slightly sunken oval feature (dims. 7m E-W; 5m E-W) defined by a setting of stones which may be wall footings. It abutts the bank on its E side. Gap at S (Wth. 1.4m). In the SW quadrant is a small hollow (dims. 1.4m x 0.8m - D 0.3m) with stones protruding from its base. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-108 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a rise, with a steep slope on its W side, in otherwise undulating pasture. Raised circular platform (diam. 34.3m) enclosed by a very substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth. 7.6m - 9.6m; int. H 0.9m - 1.6m) atop a mound of earth and stone (H 1.3m - 2.7m). A field boundary wall has been constructed on top of the bank from W-N-NE. At the foot of the mound is a fosse (Wth. 2m - 2.5m) with an outer bank (Wth. 6.2m; H 1.3m). Fosse and outer bank are well preserved from NW-N-E but elsewhere only faint remains are visible. From SW-W-WNW the outer bank has been incorporated into a N-S field boundary wall. Break in bank at E (Wth. 3m) probably represents original entrance. Outside is an area of disturbance, incorporating field clearance stones, which extends towards a corresponding break in the outer bank. Projecting out from the bank at N is a raised U-shaped area (dims. 34m N-S; 25.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m - 1.4m). Its E and W sides are relatively straight and its N side curved. At the E side the scarp is kerbed with stone. Within the E quadrant is a hollow (dims. 8m E-W; 10.2m N-S) which may be a quarry hole. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-127 Enclosure
  Description

Blocked-up gap at ESE probably marks the original entrance. Adjacent to the wall at SW are traces of a souterrain (see SL019-128002-). Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL019-129002 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Situated on a N-S ridge in reclamed pasture. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Circular cashel enclosed by 2 widely-spaced outer walls whose intervening spaces were divided by radial walls and other more irregular subdivisions identified from aerial photograph (ACP V 203/ 148-9; Roll 25, pr. 19 & 20). The cashel was levelled in the 1960's. Remains comprise a slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 29m) with ephemeral remnants of the two outer walls still identifiable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-129003 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a level terrace on an E-facing slope. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Rectangular enclosure identified from aerial photograph (ACP V203/148-9, Roll 125, Prs. 19-20). It was levelled in the 1960's. However its outline, defined at N, E and S by a scarp (H 0.6m) and at W by a low rise, may still be traced. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-129004 Field system
  Description

  Situated in reclamed pasture on and in the immediate vicinity of a N-S ridge. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. A series of field boundaries, whose long axis was aligned NNW-SSE and in general followed the undulating contours of the ridge, was identified from aerial photography (ACP V203/148-9, Roll 125, Prs. 19-22). In addition various subdivisions were located in the vicinity of a cashel (SL019-129002-) and a rectangular enclosure (SL019-129003-). These field boundaries were levelled in the 1960's and only ephemeral remains are now visible. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-152001 Enclosure
  Description

Not marked on the 1837 OS 6-inch map. The field walls have been partly levelled. Remanants of the walls shown extending SE from the enclosure may still be traced. Compiled by: Patrick F.
