• WM032-070 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Described in 1977 as a ringfort situated on the N end of a rise on low hillock in good pasture land with extensive views to the SW, W and NW. Site consists of a small, roughly circular area (diam. 30m N-S; 29.5m E-W) defined by a dry-stone wall (H 1.75m) with no evidence of an external fosse. There is a small gap in the wall at NE. It is unclear if this is an original entrance feature, however the wall facing on the S side of this gap has been well built suggesting that this gap was used an entrance feature. The field boundaries that intersected the perimeter of the monument at NE, S and NW as shown on the OS 6-inch maps have all been removed. The enclosing drystone wall is quite substantial and is built using a mixture of large and small boulders. The wall acts as an external facing of the scarp from E-S-W while on the N it survives as a freestanding drystone wall. The date of this wall is uncertain and it could be post-medieval in date. The wall may incorporate sections of an original drystone cashel wall. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 11 March 2013

• WM032-071 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Described in 1977 as a possible ringfort situated on a small hillock in undulating countryside. Site consists of a roughly oval-shaped area defined by an earth and stone bank, shallow fosse only visible from W-NW and possible outer bank visible from E-SE but this appears to be more recent in date and could be the remains of a post-medieval field boundary. The remains of a low earth and stone bank can be seen running across the site from NE-N-NW which appears to be the remains of a post-medieval field boundary. Possible entrance gap (Wth 3.3m) at E. Large stone set into the ground on the N side of entrance gap may be original revetment of entrance gap. The perimeter of the monument has been defaced by livestock poaching and there are several other gaps in the perimeter due to livestock damage. The interior of the monument has been very disturbed by cultivation and there are the remains of cultivation ridges running roughly E-W across the interior. There is some rock outcropping visible in the interior of the monument along with some field clearance debris and possible traces of post-medieval field walls.

• WM032-074 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Described in 1977 as a ringfort situated on a rise in good pasture land. The ringfort consists of a small roughly circular area (diam. 28m N-S; 29.5m E-W) defined by a low bank of earth and stone only visible at E with no evidence of an external fosse. There are slight remains of an earth and stone bank running S from the SE edge of the monument which may be the remains of an old field bank. No entrance feature visible. There is a small U-shaped setting of stones set into a low earthen bank in the SSW quadrant of the interior close to the perimeter of the monument. This appears to be the remains of a small hut (WM032-074001-) but it is not clear if it is original or not. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 11 March 2013
