• WM025-123 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with extensive views to SE. Depicted on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as a subrectilinear-shaped earthwork and on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a portion of a roughly rectilinear-shaped earthwork defined by a field boundary to SW. Monument described in 1971 as a subrectilinear-shaped earthwork on the NE side of a stone field fence running WNW-ESE. It is defined by a low and narrow bank of earth and stone which is reduced to a scarp at WNW and ESE. The bank is almost linear to NE and there is a slight corner at ENE. There are traces of internal stone facing. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior has a gentle SSW-facing slope and the SSW quadrant has been quarried away. There is a house site (WM025-123001-) in the NNE quadrant and a curvilinear depression at N could be the remains of a possible souterrain (WM025-123002-). Other depressions at NNE and SW are probable quarry holes. There are no surface remains visible of the monument on the SSW side of the stone field fence, where a portion appears to have been removed by quarrying.

• WM025-128 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a steep natural hillock marked with an OS trig. point (437ft/133m OD), in gently undulating pasture with excellent views to E, SE and S. Ringfort (WM025-129----) lies c. 135m to SE. Bivallate ringfort described in 1971 as a circular-shaped area (diam. 20m) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and traces of an outer bank. The inner bank is high and steep and is visible from S-W-NW with livestock gaps from WSW-W. A narrow, shallow intervening fosse and slight indications of an outer bank, which are set on a natural scarp, are visible from SW-W-NW. The interior has a gentle E-facing slope and the surface is uneven with many humps and hollows. A souterrain (WM025-128001-) is located within.

• WM025-128001 Souterrain
  Description

  Situated on a steep natural hillock marked with an OS trig. point (437ft/133m OD), in gently undulating pasture with excellent views to E, SE and S. In ringfort (WM025-128----), inside the bank at WSW is a relatively recently formed circular-shaped depression marking a collapsed souterrain. A small piece of drystone masonry and a small part of a lintel can be seen through the rubble collapse. A linear arrangement of four or five formally set stones is located c. 4m to E and may be associated with the souterrain. A roughly circular-shaped, shallow depression extends inside the upper edge of the bank across the NE and SE quadrants and may also be associated with the souterrain.
