• WM026-098 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views to SE, S and W. Mahonstown House 65m to NW. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped tree-planted earthwork. Monument described in 1971 and 1977 as a roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 28m N-S and 27m E-W) enclosed by a bank. There is no visible trace of an external fosse. The bank is almost reduced to a scarp from E-SE and has been quarried from N-E. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior has a S-facing slope with an uneven surface including slight depressions which may be the result of uprooted tree stumps. A field boundary running N-S abuts the W side of the monument.

• WM026-099 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with extensive views to SE. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1971 as a large subtriangular-shaped area (59.5m NNW-SSE; 45m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a bank, a fosse and an outer bank. The inner bank is steep on the exterior and is almost reduced to a scarp. It has disturbance gaps at NNW and N. The intervening fosse is wide and deep and has a small animal pen at NNE. The substantial outer bank is well preserved from SE-S-W-N-N and is very slight from NNE-E-SE. It has a gap at W and N and a slight disturbance gap at NNW. A large portion has been removed from N-NNE along with a large area of ground outside it which has been quarried. A gap (Wth at top 5.6m; basal Wth 2.6m) in the inner bank and a very slight gap (Wth at top 4.3m; basal Wth 2.4m) in the outer bank at SE, which is partially blocked by two relatively loose, may represent the entrance. The interior has a gentle ENE-facing slope with a house site (WM026-099001-) in the S quadrant. Other slight scarps and depressions within do not form any recognisable plan and may be natural features. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
