Description
Situated in rough pasture, on a SSW-facing slope of a high ridge, on an isthmus between Lough Drin and Brittas Lough. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 74m NE-SW; 67m NW-SE). Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a modified roughly oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1970 as the site of an oval-shaped ringfort that has been completely defaced by the construction of later field banks and quarrying. The perimeter cannot be traced on the ground with any reasonable degree of certainty. A long rectangular-shaped house site (WM019-014001-) is located within the interior. Reports from local tradition of a possible ogham-stone beside the fort on the 400’ OD overlooking the NE shore of Lough Drin, proved to be misleading, as the stone which has become in tradition ‘Crow’s Feet’, has been moved to below a large oak tree here, when the fort was levelled, and is held in high esteem. It is an OS Datum Point [sappers mark symbol] and is incised on hard Silurian shale (ASI Field Report 24/04/1981). Levelled monument is visible today as a large oval-shaped cropmark of differential growth on Digital Globe aerial photography.

Description
Situated in rough pasture, on a SSW-facing slope of a high ridge, on an isthmus between Lough Drin and Brittas Lough. In the interior of a levelled ringfort (WM019-014----) are the remains of a long rectangular-shaped house site (dims. L 8.5m; Wth 3.2m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.5m) which has since been levelled. House site not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.

- WM019-020 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated at the base of a SW-facing slope of a high ridge, in rough pasture, with good views to SE. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a substantial oval-shaped earthwork. Not depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Monument described in 1970 as a roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 52m NW-SE; 50m NE-SW) enclosed by a well-defined scarp and a fosse. The scarp (approx. H 1.2m) is slightly defaced at SE and there is a slight depression at SW that may represent the entrance (Wth at top 12m; basal Wth 7m). There is a slight shallow fosse from S-W-WNW. The perimeter is obscured by the corner of a field boundary at NW. A modern depression running NW-SE from this corner crosses the NW quadrant of the interior. Levelled monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography as a circular-shaped cropmark defined by differential growth which appears to delineate a backfilled fosse.
