Recorded monuments

• SL019-073 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a rise in undulating pasture. Raised oval-shaped area (c.25m NW-SE; c.18.5m NE-SW) defined by a broad scarp (Wth. c.3m; H 1.2m - 1.6m). The scarp and its upper edge are occupied by a spread of boulders and smaller stones. At the foot of the scarp at S is a kerb of boulders two courses high (H 0.6m). No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. The monument is divided into approx. equal portions by a WNW-ESE field wall. At the outer foot of the scarp at the portion SSW of this is a plantation of coniferous trees. Within the NW quadrant is a hollow or pit (dims. 4m x 6m; D 0.6m). Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL019-074 Enclosure
  Description

• SL019-075 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  At the NW end of a low ridge in rough pasture. Raised approximately oval-shaped area (dims. 41.8m NW-SE; 30.6m NE-SW) enclosed by two close-set concentric rings of large slabs and boulders (max H 0.6m). The earth and rubble which presumably occupied the intervening space (Wth. 1.2m - 2m) does not survive. The double kerb is punctuated by a number of gaps of various sizes. From SSW-W-WNW the perimeter has been incorporated into a NW-SE field boundary. At N, adjacent to a wide gap, is a single stone set traversly to the remainder of the kerb stones which may mark the original entrance location. Compiled by: Patrick F.
