Recorded monuments

• WM032-092 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Described in 1977, a ringfort situated on a low rise of ground with extensive views to the SE and S, with a high ridge to the W. Site consists of an oval-shaped area (diam. 24m NE-SW; c.28m NW-SE) defined by a scarp with no indication of an enclosing bank or fosse. A modern field wall and hedge running NE-SW across the N quadrant of the ringfort represents the townland boundary. There is no indication of an entrance feature. The interior is slightly uneven and slopes slightly upwards to the centre. There is a lot of stone visible just on the surface and some of this seems to be just rock outcrops and the remainder could be the remains of field clearance debris. Depicted as a large oval shaped ringfort on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map, with townland boundary aligned NNE-SSW running across the NW quadrant of the interior. A small quarry immediately to the N of the ringfort is depicted on this edition of the OS 6-inch map. A road running E-W intersects the S side of the monument.

• WM032-098 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Described in 1977 as an enclosure that is situated at the SW end of small NE-SW ridge with good views to the S and SW. The monument consists of an oval-shaped area (diam. 27m NW-SE; c. 26m NE-SW) defined by a low earth and stone bank with a shallow external fosse only visible at SW. The poorly preserved bank is best preserved from S to SW where there is some evidence of internal stone facing. There several gaps in the bank which all appear to be of recent date. No original entrance feature could be identified. The external fosse at SW may be a later feature associated with a modern field fence that runs past the monument from S to SW.

• WM032-099 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Described in 1977 as an enclosure that is situated on top of an oval shaped natural hillock with ringfort (WM032-100----) 90m to the SSE. The enclosure consists of an oval-shaped area defined by a drystone wall running around the base of the hillock which is best preserved at E. There are traces of an old field fence running E-W across the hillock on its S side. This enclosure is depicted on the first edition OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped enclosure with the straight side forming the W side of the enclosure. On this map a small field is located immediately to the W with the straight side of the enclosure forming the E boundary of the adjoining field. A smaller field is located immediately to the S of the enclosure. This enclosure is not depicted on the revised editions of the OS 6-inch maps which depicts the area as an irregular-shaped tree plantation (dims. c. 46m N-S; 36m E-W). There are still some pine trees growing on top of the hillock which belong to this plantation. The planting of the trees in the late 19th / early 20th century resulted in the degradation of the enclosing feature of this monument. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 28 March 2013

• WM032-100 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Described in 1977 as a ringfort that is situated on top of a low rise of ground in good pastureland with good views to the SE and S. Possible ringfort (WM032-099----) located 90m to the NW. The monument consists of a small circular-shaped area (diam. c. 29m N-S; c. 31m E-W) defined by a scarp with no evidence of an enclosing bank or external fosse. A modern silage pit has been constructed just outside the monument on the SE side. The perimeter of the monument has been damaged by livestock poaching from SE-S. There is no evidence of an original entrance feature. The interior is uneven and slopes upwards from the perimeter to the centre. Depicted as a circular shaped monument on the first edition of the OS 6-inch. The curving field fence forming the S boundary of the monument that is indicated on the revised editions of the OS 6-inch map represents the S bank of the ringfort. A field boundary running N from NE quadrant of ringfort that is depicted on the revised edition of the OS 6-inch map has since been removed. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 28 March 2013

• WM032-101 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Described in 1977 as a ringfort that was recently bulldozed when the heavy scrub and the bank enclosing the monument had been removed and the interior has been scraped over during the removal of the scrub (SMR File). An earlier site report from 1977 described the upstanding monument as situated on a small hillock in undulating countryside with extensive views to NE, E and S. The monument which was then covered in scrub vegetation consisted of a small oval-shaped area (diam. c. 33m NNW-SSE) defined by a low bank of earth and stone with no evidence of an external fosse. The bank was composed of large stones and boulders with a thin covering of earth and grass. This enclosing earth and stone bank may originally have been a stone wall. An entrance gap (Wth 3.1m) in the bank was visible at E. The terminals of the bank on either side of the entrance gap were faced with large stones set on edge. The interior was densely overgrown making detailed examination of the interior impossible. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 28 March 2013
