Recorded monuments

• SL016-026 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a raised area in undulating pasture. Raised circular platform (diam. 26.3m) enclosed at S by a much degraded, earthen bank (Wth 5.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 2.8m). Elsewhere the bank is reduced to a scarp (H 2.2m at W). There is a deep depression (Wth 5m) outside the scarp at NE–SE but it is not clear if this represents a fosse or results from relatively recent quarrying. A break (Wth. c. 2m) in the bank at SSE may represent the original entrance. The enclosed area has been disturbed by quarrying. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
