Recorded monuments

• WM032-005 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Monument surveyed by the ASI in 1971 and described as 'an approx. circular uneven enclosure with a general slope from NNE-SSW, bounded by a scarp with slight remains of an earth and stone bank on its upper edge. The scarp and bank have been modified all the way round to form parts of modern fences. A modern laneway skirts the foot of the scarp from S-SE. From S-W there is a slight fosse at the external foot of the scarp but this is possibly due to the modification of the scarp and bank. There is a gap in the bank on the SSW but it is doubtful if it represents the entrance. The interior is completely covered with tall grass, blackthorn, bracken, nettles, etc. and satisfactory inspection is not possible. Sited on a slight natural rise on gently undulating and hilly land of average pasture and tillage' (SMR File 12/07/1971). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 12 February 2013
