Recorded monuments
- WM019-073 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
No surface remains visible of monument now located underneath modern housing estate. Annotated 'Fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped enclosure (approx. diam. 49m) with a quarry in the SW quadrant. Monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography as the area is now occupied by a modern housing estate. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 04 June 2019
- WM019-075 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a slight rise, in relatively low-lying, poorly drained pasture with restricted views. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 41m NE-SW; 43m NW-SE) which is defined by an irregular, outer scarp (approx. overall dims. 80m NE-SW; 70m NW-SE). Monument described in 1970 as an oval-shaped, almost level raised area enclosed by a high steep earthen bank, a shallow outer fosse and a slight counterscarp bank of earth and stones. This is surrounded by an annular space which is bounded by a slight earthen bank and external fosse. There is a slight radial bank across the annular space at S. The original entrance is not recognisable and there is a disturbance gap through the scarp at N. There is a modern E.S.B. pole standing within the interior. Monument is visible today as a partially tree-planted multivallate earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. High elevated platform may suggest that this was a raised rath or platform ringfort or possibly the remains of an Anglo-Norman motte castle.
