Recorded monuments

• WM032-078 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low rise on a prominent ridge in good pasture with extensive views in all directions. Site consists of a roughly circular area (diam. 31m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank with traces of an external fosse visible only from SW-W-NNW. The remains of an external bank are visible from SW-W-NW only. It is not clear whether this external bank is an original feature or a later addition to the ringfort. Field clearance debris has been dumped along the outer bank and in the fosse from W-NNW. A concrete yard, shed and silage pit have been constructed just outside the bank from SSE-S-SSW. There are large gaps in the bank at SSW and NNW. The SSW gap appears to be modern and associated with the adjoining concrete yard. A modern post and wire fence has been erected along the top of the bank and a water trough has been erected at SSE. There are a number of stones visible in the surface of some of which (to the E of centre) seem to represent the remains of an old N-S wall possibly the remains of an old field wall. The entire site is heavily overgrown with hazel trees and thorn bushes. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 11 March 2013

• WM032-104 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Described in 1977 as a ringfort that is situated on top of a low rise of ground in good pastureland with good views to the SE. The monument consists of a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 35m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank with an external fosse. There are the partial remains of an external earth and stone bank visible at SW only. The fosse has been mainly filled in and is only visible at SW and NE. The inner bank is best preserved at the NE and there is evidence of internal stone facing of the bank from E to SE. A gap (Wth 2.8m) in the bank at SE appears to be the original entrance feature. The terminals of the bank on either side of the gap are faced with large stones set on edge. Two later gaps in the bank are visible at NW. The interior slopes slightly from NE to SW.
