Recorded monuments
- TS087-013 Ringfort - rath
Description
Just off the crest of a hill on N-facing slope in undulating pastureland. Circular area (diam. 47m) enclosed partially by an earthen and stone bank (W 1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.6m) and partially by scarp (H 1.1m) with an external fosse (W 1.7m; D 0.43m). The interior is quite heavily overgrown with nettles, thisles, etc., a cattle-feeder placed in the interior in winter and the ground is very poached as a result. The ringfort has been fenced off with post and wire fencing. There is a lot of dead wood piled up against outer face of the bank in the SE quadrant.

- TS088-004 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a SE-facing slope in rolling terrain, on a slight break in slope. Tillage to W and pasture to E. Very disturbed monument, (map diam. c. 32m E-W). A large quarry has destroyed most of the ringfort, encroaching from the N. In the SW quadrant the interior is filled with large mounds of upcast material from the quarry. Both the remains of the ringfort and the disused quarry are heavily overgrown with scrub. The ringfort, which is depicted on the current OS 6-inch map as being circular, is enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.3m crest, 4m base; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.62m). The bank in the W quadrant is broad and rather flattened. On the 25-inch OS map a wide fosse is depicted enclosing the bank from NE-E-SE and from S-W-NW, however, this is not visible above ground. There is a large, well-preserved limekiln at the mouth of the quarry in the N quadrant. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 27 November 2013
