Recorded monuments

• WM018-019 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in pasture. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork, with field boundaries extending from S and NW. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a much modified roughly triangular-shaped earthwork truncated by a field boundary running NW-SE to W. Described in 1983 as a circular-shaped area (diam. 28m) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and a partially surviving outer bank. The inner earthen bank (int. H 0.5-1m) is very well preserved from NW-N-E-SE, is levelled from SE-SW and is poorly preserved to SW-NW. There is a substantial fall from the inner bank into the fosse (D 3-4m; Wth 2m), particularly to N. The outer earthen bank (int. H c. 1m) rises steadily from the fosse. It is best preserved around the N arc and is barely traceable around the E arc. There are several gaps in the outer bank. Monument is visible today as a partially tree-lined earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 11 January 2019

• WM018-020 Ringfort - rath

OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork within a small rectangular field, with curving townland boundary to S and public road to E. Annotated ‘fort’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map. On the revised 1876 OS 6-inch map the monument is depicted as a roughly circular shaped enclosure indicated with a dotted outline and annotated 'site of fort'.

H c. 1m) SE-S-SW, which is incorporated into a field fence. The remains of a bank can be traced on the N side as a low, poorly defined ridge. There is no indication of an outer fosse. Monument is visible as a partially tree-lined earthwork forming the S boundary of a modern house plot, on Digital Globe aerial photography.

• WM018-021 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a rise of ground with low-lying poorly drained pasture to S and W. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork incorporating a field boundary to NW. Annotated ‘fort’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map where it is depicted as a roughly triangular-shaped earthwork. No monument depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Described in 1983 as a clearly defined raised circular-shaped area (diam. 29m) defined by traces of a fosse and an outer bank. The remains of the infilled fosse (Wth c. 3m) are best preserved at W. There are slight indications of a levelled outer bank. The perimeter is barely traceable from NE-E. Monument is visible as a roughly rectilinear-shaped cropmark defined by an area of differential growth representing an infilled fosse, on Digital Globe aerial photography. The cropmark is best seen along the SE and SW sides. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 11 January 2019
