Recorded monuments
- TS073-012 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a S-facing lower slope of Slievenamuck mountain. The Aherlow River is c. 100m to the S, in wet, rushy pasture. The ringfort (overall diam. c. 47m N-S; c. 55m E-W based on OS 6-inch map) is heavily overgrown with brambles and the interior has a lot of dead wood, it has also been planted with conifers. The monument is enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.77m) with a slight suggestion of an outer fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.2m), though this may be the result of cattle poaching while sheltering against the external bank. A field boundary runs NW-SE along the E side of the ringfort. A trackway on the OS 6-inch map which ran roughly E-W S of the monument appears to be disused, while that depicted running along its N side now follows the line of the field boundary to N and E of ringfort.

- TS073-015 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a gradual S-facing slope, Slievenamuck mountain rises to the N. A field boundary running E-W transects the N quadrant of the ringfort, the area S of the field boundary is under tillage, while that N of the boundary is heavily overgrown with scrub and brambles. A roughly circular ringfort (diam. 28.8m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 3.45m; int. H 1.15m; ext. H 0.32m) and ext. fosse (Wth 0.8m; D 0.42m) in the N quadrant. The larger portion of the ringfort, S of the field boundary, was levelled c. 1970, though the outline is still visibly defined by scarp (H 0.13m) and a faint external fosse (Wth 2.6m; D 0.07m).
