Is lios cloiche (caiseal) agus Séadchomhartha Náisiúnta é Cathair an Lóthair atá suite ar leithinis Uíbh Ráthach, Éire.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Suíomh

An bealach isteach.

Tá Caiseal an Lóthair suite ar imeall thiar Uíbh Ráthaigh os cionn Bá na Scealg, 3.9 km (2.4 mhíle) siar ó thuaidh ó Dhoire Fhionáin.^[4]^[5] Seans gur roghnaíodh an láthair seo mar gheall ar a radharc ar Sceilg Mhichíl.^[6]

Stair

Tógadh an caiseal thart ar an 9ú haois AD mar áitreabh feirme cosanta. Aththógadh é le déanaí.^[7]^[2]

Radharc ón aer den chaiseal.

Is lios ciorclach cloiche (caiseal) é seo a bhfuil trastomhas inmheánach 20 m (66 tr) aige le ballaí seachtracha os cionn 2 m (6.7 tr) ard agus 3 m (9.8 tr) tiubh inrochtana ag staighrí. Tá sé tógtha le balla thirim agus bearnaí líonta isteach le brablach.

Ar an taobh istigh tá teach mór cruinn agus teach dronuilleogach níos lú; tá sé léirithe ag an tseandálaíocht gur foirgnimh adhmaid a bhí rompu. Bhí uaimh thalún suite sa teach ciorclach.^[8]

Tá pasáiste le líneáil chloiche ar an mbealach isteach cosúil leis an gceann ag Cathair na Stéige.^[9]^[10]
