Recorded monuments
- WI024-022 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Situation: Gentle west facing slope, just off the crest of a ridge. Average Grazing. Condition: Grass covered, with occasional small hawthorn bushes internally. Description: An oval area (20m E-W; 17m N-S), enclosed by an irregular stone spread (width at north 10.5m; external height at north 70cm; internal height 30-40cm; width at south 6m; height 40cm) representing the remains of a collapsed cashel wall, but some of the material, in particular several large boulders represent clearance dumped onto the perimeter. No indications of the original thickness of the wall. No obvious entrance feature. The interior is slightly uneven. The site is skirted, possibly even truncated slightly, along the west by a NNW-SSE hedgerow. Locally called a 'raheen'. Compiled by: Chris Corlett Date of upload: 19 October 2012
- WI024-023 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Situation: On a slight terrace, overlooked by a low ridge immediately to the north. Overlooks a basin of bog to the west. Condition: Overgrown with gorse on the perimeter along the east, south and west. There is grass internally. Description: A sub-circular area (19m E-W; 19m N-S), enclosed by an earth and stone bank (width 3.3m, internal height 10 cm; external height 30-40cm), which is poorly preserved along the NW (width 1m; height 20cm), where the site may have been truncated and straightened slightly at some later stage. At the north two small cairns flank either side of a 2.4m wide entrance feature which is probably inserted at some later stage and in so doing creating the cairns.
