• WM032-040 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Monument surveyed by ASI and described in 1977 as following; ‘A roughly circular enclosure (diam. 52m NW-SE; 36m NE-SW) bounded by a bank of earth and stone with an external fosse and an outer bank of earth and stone. The outer bank is best preserved from the NNW-W-S and it is absent from the N-E-SE. The fosse is best preserved from the NNW-W-S where it is wide and flat-bottomed but it is narrower and shallower from the N-E-SE probably as a result of the outer bank being leveled into it. The inner bank is best preserved on the N and NE and it is fainter elsewhere. Modern field fences run into the fosse on the E and W and the inner bank on the S is incorporated into a field fence. The fosse has been used as a dump for stones on the E and to a lesser extent elsewhere and there is a large pile of stones piled on the outer bank on the WNW. There is a causeway (Wth 3.5m) across the fosse on the NNW with gaps (Wth 5.5m) in both banks at either end of it, this is probably an original entrance. The end of the inner bank on the W side of the entrance has been defaced by recent digging, and its inner edge has been removed along with approx. half of the bank for c. 4m from the entrance. The interior is uneven and it rises from the perimeter towards the centre from the N, NE, E and SE. The W half of the interior is fairly level. No features are visible. The site is on fairly level ground, with pasture to the N, NE, NW and SW, with tillage to the E and SE. The site is overlooked by a large NW-SE ridge to the E with motte (WM032-039---) 190m on the height to the NE. There are good views to the NW, W and S ’ (ASI File 13/09/1977).

• WM032-041 Moated site
  Description

  Monument surveyed by ASI in 1977 and described as following; 'A roughly rectangular enclosure (dims. 36.5m NNW-SSE; 32.5m WSW-ENE) bounded by a low bank of stone and earth. The bank is best preserved on the N. In places, particularly on the W and E there are the remains of stone facings to be seen. Indeed at these points the bank has the appearance of being the grass-covered remains of a stone wall. There are natural slopes outside the bank on the N and E and at a short distance from it on the S. There are small gaps in the bank at the W and NE but neither looks like an original entrance. Old field banks run into the bank at the NE (running roughly N-S) and at the SW (running NW-SE). The interior is fairly level for the most part with a small raised area at the NW around a rectangular house site (WM032-041001-) which is in the NW corner of the site against the bank. There is a smaller house/hut site (WM032-041002-) against the bank on the E of the interior. The N and W walls of the larger house site are formed by the sites bank and its E and S walls by a slight bank of stone and earth with remains of stone facings at the SE corner and along the E wall. There are no internal features visible in the house site except for a small recess in the NE corner. The E wall of the small rectangular hut site is formed by the sites bank and its S, W and N walls by a low bank of earth and stone. There is a possible entrance in the S wall just at the SE corner. There is a small stretch of an earth and stone bank running in from the sites bank to the N of the hut site and this may form the N wall of a larger house/hut site whose S wall was formed by the N wall of the hut site. There is a slight drop in ground level between these two banks which may indicate the floor area of this house/hut site, but there is no trace of a W wall. There is a large boulder just S of the NW house site. The perimeter is partly overgrown with thorn trees. The site is on the E and higher end of a small ridge in undulating land of fairly good pasture. There are good views to the NW, W and SW, but the view to the N, E and S is blocked by the surrounding ridges' (SMR File 15/09/1977).

• WM032-042 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Monument surveyed by ASI in 1971 and described as following; 'An approx. circular enclosure bounded by a scarp with remains of an earth and stone bank on its upper edge and with remains of a wide fosse and of an outer earth and stone bank at its foot. The inner bank appears to have remains of an internal stone facing but is very fragmentary. The original entrance way is not visible. The site is densely covered with whitethorn trees, blackthorn, hazel, briars etc. and satisfactory observation is impossible until it is partly cleared for the more detailed survey. Sited on the NW side of a hill of average pasture. The site is relatively lowlying. Dimensions not possible until the site is partly cleared' (SMR File 29/06/1971).
