• TS062-120001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In improved pasture, on a high point of the landscape, to E of a spot height (328ft). There are earthworks (TS062-120002-) to the E and S and a pond to the NW. A circular area (dims. c. 48m E-W; c. 45m N-S) defined by the remains of a bank reduced to a scarp (Wth 1.8m; H 1.3m); a fosse (ESE-S-WNW overall Wth 6.6m; basal Wth 3.1m; D 1.65m) and the possible remains of an outer bank (overall Wth 2.8m; Wth at top 0.9m; int. H 1.9m; ext. H 0.25m) at the W and ESE sectors. The fosse is wider and shallower in the SE quadrant (overall Wth 7.1m; basal Wth 2.9m; D 1.25m) and is waterlogged in the NW quadrant. There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 5.5m) at E which appears to relate to the earthwork extending eastward from the entrance. The interior is generally level with a raised oval area (long-axis c. E-W) in the N sector defined by a scarp (Wth 2.7m; H 0.35m). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS062-120002 Earthwork
  Description

  In improved pasture, to E and S of ringfort (TS062-120001-). On the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map a number of linear earthworks are depicted extending from the ringfort, including two parallel lines extending NE-SW for c. 60-65m from the E and SE quadrant, possibly representing a raised or hollow area (Wth c. 20m), which then extends NNW-SSE running c. 20m W of and parallel to the field boundary E of the ringfort. Another line representing a bank or scarp, aligned NNW-SSE, extends SSE of the S quadrant up to the S field boundary. These earthworks are depicted on the 2nd 1903-04 ed. OS 6-inch map as depression extending SE of the ringfort and a bank running SSE of the S quadrant. The earthworks are visible as a gentle, curvilinear scarp extending eastward from the ringfort which appears to relate to the causewayed entrance to the ringfort, at the base of the scarp there is a gentle depression containing a poorly drained area to the S with a shallow pond at the E end. S of the ringfort there are gentle undulations but no clearly defined features. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
