Description
Situated on a steep SSE-facing slope in upland pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a low broad earth and stone bank (Wth 7m; int. H 0.8-1.35m; ext. H 0.8-1.4m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 4.9m; 0.3-1.5m). From NE-SE the fosse is silted up and barely visible. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at NE, now blocked with a boulder, probably marks the position of the original entrance. The level of the N one-third of the interior is lower than that of external ground level while S two-thirds of the site is raised above external ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F.

- SL008-078 Enclosure
Description
Straddling narrow level summit of ESE-WNW orientated ridge, in pasture. Natural ground level slopes down steeply to the N and S of the site. Slightly raised roughly rectangular area (dims. 17m NNE-WSW; 20m WNW-ESE) enclosed by a low broad bank of earth (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.3m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 2.8m; D 0.9m). From NW-NE the bank is absent and the site is defined by a scarp (ext. H 1.8m). The bank is also absent NE-SE where a NNE-WSW orientated field bank, with a drain on the E side, defines the edge of the monument. The fosse encloses the site SW-NE only, across the level summit of the ridge, and is absent elsewhere. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.

Description
Situated on a moderate SSE-facing slope in gently undulating upland pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c.25m) enclosed by a substantial flat-topped bank of earth and stone (Wth 9.4m; int. H 1.7m). At the external foot of the bank is a broad U-shaped fosse (Wth 5.4m) and a low external bank of earth and stone (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m). From NW-NE the external bank is absent. A relic field boundary lies on the outer edge of the fosse NW-N. AT NE a break (Wth 5.4m) in the internal bank, with a causeway across the fosse, and a break in the external bank mark the position of the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
- SL008-080 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope, in gently undulating upland pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c.26m) enclosed by a low denuded bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.1-5.5m; int. H 0.3m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 3.9m) and an external bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.4m). A large roughly rectangular relic quarry hole (dims. 28m N-S; 14m E-W; D 0.5-1.6m) now occupies the E half of the interior including the internal bank and extending across the fosse and external bank at SE. There are two possible entrances to the site; a break (Wth 3.5m) in the internal bank with an opposing break, offset slightly to E, in the external bank at NNE and the second is a break (Wth 6.5m) in the internal bank at SSW.
