• TS050-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On flat poorly drained marshy terrain with good views in all directions. A raised circular area (diam. 18m N-S; 21m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (top Wth 2m; base Wth 5m; ext. H 1m; int. H 0.3m-0.6m) and external fosse (Wth 3m; ext. D 0.35m), which was waterlogged at the time of inspection, with an entrance gap (Wth 2.75m) at the E. The enclosing bank is intersected by a field boundary at the W on a N-S axis. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a slight SE-facing slope in gently undulating wet pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam.c.20m) defined by an earthen bank (overall Wth 3.65m; Wth at top 1m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.7m) with an external fosse (Wth at base 2.2m; overall Wth 3.8m; D 0.15m). The bank and fosse are best preserved NW-N. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and overgrown with whitethorn bushes with briars along the fosse. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In gently undulating poor wet pasture with an enclosure (TS058-003----) located c. 130m to the NE. Originally circular, the ringfort now consists of a roughly circular slightly raised area (dims. 20m NNE-SSW; 15m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen scarped edge (Wth 1.35m; ext. H 0.3m) with a shallow flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth at base 2m; overall Wth 4.2m; D 0.2m). From SW-NW the scarped edge has been lowered in height and straightened off and the fosse infilled. A slight ramp (Wth 2m) across the scarped edge at E may indicate the position of the original entrance. The interior undulates slightly across the N half and is clear of overgrowth.

• TS058-003 Enclosure
  Description

  On a very slight NNE-facing slope in gently undulating poor pasture with a ringfort (TS058-002----) located c. 130m to the SW. Identified on an aerial photograph (GSI R.427/8) as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 10m). Not visible at ground level. The land in the area of the monument undulates slightly and irregularly. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In gently undulating wet pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam.27m) defined by a low broad earthen scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.25m) with a shallow flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth at base 3-4m; overall Wth 5-6m; D 0.1m). Ringfort appears to have been partially levelled, hence the low profile of the enclosing elements. The interior is very slightly domed and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-005 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a very slight SW-facing slope in gently undulating improved pasture. Originally circular, the ringfort now consists of a raised roughly D-shaped area (dims. 26m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a substantial earthen bank (overall Wth 10.5m; Wth at top 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 2.3m) with an external fosse (Wth at base 3m; overall Wth 5.1m; D 0.5m). The bank is best preserved SSE-N with the inner side being very low and difficult to discern N-NE. From NE-SE the edge of the ringfort has been cut back and straightened off resulting in the removal of the bank and the infilling of the fosse. A modern N-S orientated modern field boundary lies along the approximate line of the infilled fosse NE-E with a second E-W orientated boundary located 10m to the S of the monument. A break (Wth 4m) in the bank at SSW with a causeway across the fosse marks the position of the original entrance. There is a modern break (Wth 3m) through the bank with a ramp to the interior at N. The interior is level across the N two-thirds while the S one-third slopes gently down to the entrance. The interior is under a loosely spread stand of mature ash and beech trees.

• TS058-006 Enclosure
  Description

  On level ground in gently undulating improved pasture. General condition is poor. The enclosure appears to have been circular originally but has been largely levelled with approximately 40% of the circuit not visible at ground level and the remainder being very low in profile. Enclosure appears to have been circular originally but now consists of a slightly raised roughly D-shaped area (dims. 23.5m NE-SW; c. 18m NW-SE) defined by an earthen scarp (Wth 2.3m; H 0.3m) S-NE. The scarp has been levelled NE-S and is not visible at ground level. The interior undulates slightly and is clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-007 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In low-lying level wet pasture. Circular area (diam. 12m) defined by a low broad earthen scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.25m). At the external base of the scarp is a broad flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 2.2m; D 0.1m) and an low broad external earthen bank (Wth at top 1m; overall Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.05-0.2m; ext. H 0.15m). The interior is level and overgrown with bushes and briars along the W edge. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
