• 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.

• WM032-072 Castle - motte
  Description

  Described in 1976 as a motte situated on a slight natural rise of ground surrounded by gently undulating countryside with extensive views in all directions. Site consists of a high, steep sided flat-topped mound (top diam. c.17.6m N-S; 14.2m E-W) of earth and stone with slight remains of a fosse at the base of the motte. Small stones are visible in the side of the motte where it is slightly defaced in places. A modern field boundary encloses the base of the motte from N-E-S-W-WNW. There are no visible traces of a bailey. The upper edge of the motte has been slightly defaced so that the original shape of the top is uncertain.

• WM032-073 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Described in 1977 as a ringfort situated on a rise in undulating pasture land with fairly good views in all directions. The field around the ringfort is covered with old cultivation ridges. Site consists of a roughly circular area defined by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank and a shallow external fosse. There are traces of a low outer bank possibly incorporated into later field banks at NW and N. The fosse is best preserved from SW-W and it is very narrow from NW-N. The fosse has been filled in from E-SE where the external bank on longer survives. The inner bank is best preserved at SE, elsewhere only the faint outline survives. Original causewayed entrance gap with stone facing at terminals of bank located at SE. The interior is uneven and slopes from NW to SE, with rock outcrop protruding above surface of interior. A short section of a low earth and stone bank runs for a length of c.14m NW-SE to the N of centre of the interior. Just N of this bank there is an entrance into a souterrain (WM032-073001-) with dry-stone walls and a lintelled passage leading NNW with indication of a second passage running off it to the W. Just outside the ringfort are the remains of a field system that appears to be later than the monument although part of this field system incorporates the outer bank of the ringfort.

• WM032-073001 Souterrain
  Description

  Described in 1977 as a ringfort (WM032-073----) situated on a rise in undulating pasture land with fairly good views in all directions. The field around the ringfort is covered with old cultivation ridges. Site consists of a roughly circular area defined by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank and a shallow external fosse. Just N of the enclosing bank there is an entrance into a souterrain (WM032-073001-) with dry-stone walls and a lintelled passage leading NNW with indication of a second passage running off it to the W. There is a shallow rectangular depression just W of the souterrain entrance which may be due to collapse of part of the souterrain. Just outside the ringfort are the remains of a field system that appears to be later than the monument although part of this field system incorporates the outer bank of the ringfort.
