Situated on top of a hill with commanding views of the surrounding countryside. According to local tradition this hilltop enclosure was the inauguration place of the Mac Amhalghaidh / Magawley clan (Cox 1972, 155). Fitzpatrick (2004, 171) however suggests that the bowl-barrow (WM030-104----) on Knockdomny Hill is the more likely location for the inauguration place of the Mac Amhalghaidh clan. Monument consists of a circular raised area or platform (diam. c. 29m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank, berm and outer bank. Gap in bank at W appears to be of recent origin, second gap in bank at NNE may be remains of original entrance feature. A trackway leading up to this possible entrance gap may be remains of an ancient pathway. The interior of the monument is divided by a field boundary consisting of a low bank and fosse running N-S. This field boundary is a later feature as it runs across and cuts into the enclosing bank and scarp of the monument at NNW. At the S end of this bank there are two stones set in line with the bank which suggests contemporaneity with this feature. The N stone (H 1.25m x 1.25m x 1m) is higher than the S stone which is more stump like in its appearance. Large boulders and rock outcrop can be seen protruding from the surface of the interior and from the top of the enclosing bank. A small depression in the N quadrant of the interior facing onto the inner face of the enclosing bank may be the remains of a possible hut site or could be the remains of a small post medieval quarry hole. Ordnance Survey trig. station marking 387 ft OD located in centre of monument as depicted on 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 21 July 2015 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 1/1980). - WM030-066: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWM030-066----. Situated in pasture. A stepped barrow (WM030-065----) lies c. 95m to NE. Not depicted on OS mapping,within an area depicted as a subrectangular-shaped field (approx. dims. 65m ENE-WSW; 40m NNW-SSE). Levelled monument described in 1982 as a slightly raised area (approx. dims. 28m E-W; 24m N-S) enclosed by a ring of large, rough boulders. No fosse or other archaeological features were noted. Monument appears to have been recently levelled and scrub which had been removed from it had been dumped in the centre of the remains. Monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

Situated on a low rise, in pasture, with extensive views to E, SE and S. A stepped barrow (WM030-065----) lies c. 285m to N. Not depicted on OS mapping. Monument described in 1979 as a large roughly oval-shaped area (dims. 73m E-W; 62m N-S) enclosed by a bank and external fosse. The faint bank is best preserved from SW-W and is almost reduced to a scarp elsewhere. The wide, shallow fosse is best preserved from NNE-E-SE and is not readily visible elsewhere. A modern field fence runs along the perimeter from NNW-N-NNE. There is no sign of an entrance. The interior has an uneven E-facing slope. There is a fairly flat area in the W quadrant which is slightly more elevated that the rest of the interior and there is a large stone just inside the perimeter at NNW. Monument is visible today as a large oval-shaped earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
