Recorded monuments

• SL011-031 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a gentle ESE-facing slope, c. 60m W of a small stream, in reclamed pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 20.1m) enclosed by two low banks of earth and stone with shallow intermediate fosse. The inner bank (Wth 0.2-0.8m) and the fosse (Wth. 3.1m) are present for the complete circuit. The outer bank (Wth c.3m; H 0.5m) has been levelled from N-WNW but its outline can still be traced from N-E. Large quantities of stone were used in the construction of both banks. Large facing stones have been applied to both the inner and outer faces of both banks. There is a blocked-up, stone-lined break (Wth. 1.8m) in the inner bank at SSW, probably marking the original entrance. The interior is quite waterlogged and is populated by reeds and other scrub.

• SL011-106 Structure
  Description

  In an area of rough ground in the NW corner of a pasture field. Farm buildings and a farm yard lie immediately to W. The nature of this monument is uncertain. It is indicated as a small circular structure (diam. c. 5m) named 'Faghtamonaghaun' on the 1837 OS 6-inch map, and 'Faghtamonaghaun (in Ruins)' on the 1913 edition. The name is not in the antiquarian typeface that is used for antiquities. According to local information, a small, grass-covered earthen rise was evident here in the first half of the 20th-century. No visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
