Recorded monuments

• WM033-034 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on SE-facing slope of prominent rise of ground with good views to the S, W and N. On the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map the monument is depicted as a hachured circular enclosure with small rectangular annexe or field adjoining SSW side. This annexe or small paddock is not depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map. Circular area (diam. 35.4m N-S; 37.4m E-W) defined by an earthen bank mainly reduced to a scarp with a wide, deep external fosse and a large well preserved external bank with slight traces of an external fosse. Causewayed entrance gap (Wth 2.8m) at SE. A large quarry hole cuts into the outer bank of the ringfort at N. Modern gap in the bank at WNW. A section of the external bank has been removed at SSE. OSI aerial photograph from 2005 shows the monument is now located in the centre of a coniferous plantation. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 25 July 2013

• WM033-035 Moated site
  Description

  In pasture, on low rise of ground in undulating countryside, ringfort (WM033-034----) located 210m to W. On the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map this enclosure is not depicted as an antiquity but is outlined as a small square-shaped enclosure or field. Almost square-shaped area (dims. 21m WNW-ESE; 21.6m NNE-SSW) defined by a slight earthen bank with traces of a slight external fosse. There are several gaps in the bank but no clear entrance feature visible. The bank is slightly higher at the corners than elsewhere. This monument could be a possible moated site due to its shape and higher corners, although its depiction on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map suggests that it may be a small post-1700 field.
