Recorded monuments

• WM024-037 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low rise, in gently undulating pasture. Monument described in 1971 and 1977 as a roughly oval-shaped area (dims. 36m E-W) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank with causewayed (overall Wth of causeway 9.2m; top Wth of causeway 4.7m; H 0.4m) entrance ESE. The monument is bisected by a field boundary running ESE-WNW. The inner bank is reduced to a scarp from W-N-ESE. The fosse is best preserved from SE-S and is barely traceable from WNW-N-ESE. The outer bank is visible at SSE and from S-SW-W. The interior rises slightly from the perimeter towards the centre and a circular enclosure (WM024-037001-) is visible in the S quadrant.

• WM024-075 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on top of a steep prominent rise, in gently undulating pasture with good views in all directions. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork (diam. 38m) and depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped earthwork which appears to have been partially quarried at NE. Monument described in 1971 as freshly exposed patches of stony earth which have yet to be covered in regrowth. The interior is slightly uneven and rises gradually from the perimeter towards the centre. There is no visible trace of an entrance or an external fosse.

• WM024-076 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low rise, in undulating pasture. Monument described in 1971 as a much disturbed roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 38.4m) enclosed by a bank and external fosse. The high, steep bank is visible from S-W-N where it is almost reduced to a scarp. A large portion of the bank has been dug away at WNW. The perimeter has been partly levelled from N-E-S and the material pushed outwards, where it now forms a slight scarp. A slight fosse is visible from WSW-W-N. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior has a gentle SSW-facing slope and it dips slightly to the perimeter at ESE and WNW.
