- WM030-043 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a low ridge running NW-SE, in pasture, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Ringfort (WM030-044----) lies c. 120m to SE. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as an irregular oval-shaped tree-planted enclosure annotated ‘fort’. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork. Levelled monument described in 1973 as a circular-shaped area (diam. 33m) defined by a pale green cropmark of differential growth, which presumably represents a backfilled fosse. Levelled monument is visible today as a vague outline of a distorted circular-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

- WM030-044 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a low ridge running NW-SE, in pasture, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Ringfort (WM030-043----) lies c. 120m to NW. Annotated ‘fort’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and depicted as an oval-shaped tree-planted enclosure. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subrectangular-shaped earthwork. Levelled monument described in 1973 as no surface remains visible. Levelled monument is visible today as a vague outline of a subrectangular-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography.

- WM030-126 Ringfort - rath
Description
The remains of a roughly-circular earthwork which could be the remains of much degraded ringfort are visible on Bing Maps aerial photograph (pers. comm. C. McCormack). A possible ringfort (WM030-127----) is located in the adjoining field to the SE. This possible ringfort is not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. A levelled post-medieval field boundary can be seen on the aerial photograph running NW-SE across the centre of the possible ringfort. A series of earthworks of unknown antiquity can be seen in the field immediately to the N. Cultivation ridges of post-medieval date can be seen on the aerial photograph in the field immediately to the S of the monument. The curvilinear field boundary visible on aerial photograph to the NNW represents the remains of a laneway that is depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. This laneway gave access to a an L-plan building possibly a farmhouse that is depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map and located a few metres to the W of the possible ringfort. It is possible that this earthwork may be contemporaneous with the L-plan farmhouse. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 13 February 2014
