• SL018-040 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a narrow E–W ridge which provides excellent views NE–NW over lowlying coastal grasslands, and to S of lands rising to the Ox Mountains. Raised circular area (diam. 28m) defined at SW–NW by an earthen bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.6m at NW), reduced elsewhere to a scarp (ext. H 1.7m at SE). Outside the bank at NW-NE there is a fosse (Wth 3m), evident as a shallow depression, on the outer edge of which is a low rise (Wth 3m), possibly the remains of an external bank. In the interior there is a slight slope down from the centre towards an entrance gap (Wth 4m) at E. A low rise in ground level immediately outside the entrance may be the remains of a causeway. Traces of cultivation ridges traverse the interior on a N–S axis. A pit (6m E–W; 7.2m N–S; D 1m) has been dug into the interior at S. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 August 2015

H 0.85m; ext. c. 3m) with evidence for both internal and external stone revetment. The bank has been incorporated into a field boundary at NNW-SSE. At the foot of the mound from WSW-NW is a wide, deep fosse (Wth 3m; ext. D 1.2m) with a flat-topped rise (Wth. 4.2m; H 1.1m) at its outer lip which may be the remains of an original outer bank.

A modern farm road skirts the rath at NE-SE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
