Situated on a slight NNW-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 25m) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.3m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 4m). The fosse encloses the site SSE-NNW and is visible only as a slightly wetter area (Wth 4m) at the external base of the bank. From NNW-SE the fosse has been re-cut as a drain. The N edge of a main road (N16) lies along the outer line of the fosse SE-SSW. A break (Wth 4m) in the bank at NNW, with slight trace of a causeway across the fosse, marks the position of the original entrance. There is a modern break (Wth 2m) in the bank at S.

Situated on moderate N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1837 edition of the 6'' OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular area (diam. c.20m) but not shown on the 1913 edition. This monument has been levelled and there are no remains now visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011 - SL009-020: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL009-020----. Situated towards the E of a slight E-W orientated ridge. Raised circular area (diam. 20m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (H 1.4m). At the external foot of the scarp is a fosse (Wth 7.1-7.9m; D 0.4-1.2m). The E-W orientated S-facing slope of the ridge lies under the edge of the rath SE-SW and the interior has been levelled up to compensate for the natural fall. The fosse encloses the site SW-NW and NE-SE and is absent elsewhere. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is raised above natural ground level on all sides except SW-NW where the interior is flush with external ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011 - SL009-024: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL009-024----. Straddling the summit of a narrow E-W orientated ridge in undulating pasture. Slightly raised oval area (dims. 43m E-W; 25m N-S) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 3m; ext. H 1.2m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 6.8m; D 1m). The bank and fosse are only evident at the E and W sides of the enclosure where required as the natural slopes of the ridge on which the site is located provide good natural defensive height. The bank encloses the site SW-NW and NE-SE. The bank is absent elsewhere and the site is defined by an earthen scarped edge. Only a very slight trace of the bank is visible SW-NW and from NE-SE it has been disturbed by quarrying. The fosse encloses the site SW-NW and is absent elsewhere. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.

Indicated on the 1837 and 1913 editions of the OS 6-inch map. There are the remains of two apparently post-medieval fields at this location. This, the first field consists of a roughly D-shaped area (dims. 17m N-S; 15m E-W) enclosed by a tumbled drystone wall (T 0.8-2.5m; H 0.1-0.5m) of rubble sandstone. The W side of the field is almost straight and is orientated N-S. The second field is located 14m to the S (SL009-025001-). A 5m wide N-S orientated band of sandstone scree separates the two fields. The interior of both fields undulates irregularly. There is no evidence to indicate that these are features of any great antiquity. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 02 August 2012 - SL009-025001: Field boundary, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL009-025001-. Indicated on the 1837 and 1913 editions of the OS 6-inch map. There are the remains of two apparently post-medieval fields at this location. This, the second field, is located 14m to the S of the first (SL009-025----) and consists of a roughly D-shaped area (dims. 18m N-S; 13m E-W) enclosed by a tumbled drystone wall (T 0.8-2m; H 0.1-0.5m) of rubble sandstone. The E side of the field is almost straight and is orientated N-S. A 5m wide N-S orientated band of sandstone scree separates the two fields. The interior of both fields undulates irregularly. The evidence suggests that these features are post-1700 AD in date. Compiled by: Patrick F.

A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner.
