Recorded monuments
- WI008-009 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated at a break in a marked E-facing slope. Circular area (dims. 46m N-S; 47.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.3-5.8m; int. H 1.2-1.8m; ext. H 1-3.5m). The presence of an external fosse is indicated at the S by a shallow curving depression (Wth 2-2.5m) c. 7m outside the edge of the bank. At the E a farm track is set on a berm (Wth 4m) which may overlie a fosse. There are two gaps, one at the E (Wth 4.5m) and another at the SE (Wth 4.5m), either of which may represent the location of an entrance; there is a third modern gap at the NE. The interior of the site has been levelled in recent years; this was apparently achieved by spreading material over the interior rather than by disturbing the surface of the site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
