Recorded monuments
- TS082-046 Ringfort - rath
Description
On the summit of a ridge in undulating pasture. Monument is heavily overgrown. It is depicted as a roughly circular enclosure on both the 1st (1840) and 1904-5 ed. OS 6-inch map (diam. c. 48m N-S; c. 43m E-W). It is enclosed by a high earthen and stone bank (Wth 2m crest, 4.5m base; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.77m) and an external fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.36m). There is a lot of shale in the bank composition. There is a break in the bank in the NNW quadrant but this is much obscured by brambles. In the SSE sector the bank has been badly disturbed by badgers. There is a small quarry at the external base of the bank in the S quadrant. A gap (Wth 1m) in the bank in the SW quadrant has been broken through to give access to a dumping area. There are several cars dumped in the interior and in the fosse. The bank in the NE quadrant is badly overgrown. A very deep, wide channel (Wth 2.5m; D 2.3) has been cut along the W quadrant, running N-S, with bank thrown-up on the W side. The channel is very steep-sided and appears to be the result of 19th-century activity, it is indicated on the 1904-5 ed. OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 04 February 2014
- TS082-051 Ringfort - rath
Description
Just off the crest of a ridge on a N-facing slope, in pastureland. Beyond the N edge of the monument the ground slopes more steeply. Extensive views, with Nicholastown tower house (TS082-043001-) visible c. 3.2km to the E. Well-preserved oval ringfort (diam. 29m N-S; 33.5m E-W) defined by an earthen and stone bank (Wth 1.8m crest, 4.9m base; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.6m). Relatively clean monument, with some scrub on the bank in the S quadrant. Large, mature horse-chestnut growing in the centre of the interior. A field bank, surmounted by hedgerow, runs concentrically with the S quadrant at a distance of 3.7m from the outer bank of the ringfort. In the E quadrant a portion of the interior, running up to the internal face of the bank, has been dug into creating a rectangular depression (6m x 3m; 0.8m D) running E-W. There is a possible entrance in the W quadrant (Wth 1.7m). The bank in the NW sector has been quarried out for a length of 7m. In the NE quadrant a small external quarry runs into the bank which has been removed for a length of c. 8m. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 04 February 2014
- TS082-052001 Enclosure
Description
On the crest of a N-S ridge in undulating pastureland, land drops off to W. Farmyard located to E of ridge. Situated in close proximity to an enclosure (TS082-052002-) which lies approx. 28m to SW. Enclosure has been levelled but the W and S quadrants are still discernible by a slight scarp (H 0.23m) and shallow external fosse (Wth c. 2.8m; D 0.09m). The enclosure (diam. 29.4m NNW-SSE) is depicted on the 2nd (1904-5) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular area (diam. c. 41m N-S; c. 40m E-W) with an external fosse in the S and W quadrants. The ground in this area has been disturbed, earth and rubble have been dumped in the E quadrant, the edge of which is not visible. It is visible on an aerial photograph (GSI May 1977, S. 687/6).
