• CW020-005 Hut site
  Description

  Possible hut sites visible on aerial photograph (GSIAP R3/15). No visible remains located at ground level when inspected by ASI in 1987. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 19 August 2011

• CW020-006 Enclosure
  Description

  The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Aerial photographs (GSI S 281) show circular vegetation mark (est max. diam. c. 45m). No visible surface traces.

• CW020-007 Enclosure
  Description

  The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Shown on 1839 'OS 6-inch' map as rectangular enclosure, and on 1908 ed. as irregular subcircular enclosure defined by field boundaries. Present remains consist of stone-faced bank at W and stone-faced scarp (H c. 1.2m) at N, E and S with low bank (H 0.5m) on periphery (int. dims. c 44m N-S, c 56m E-W). 1839 depiction may be inaccurate, or present structure may incorporate parts of former rectangular enclosure.

• CW020-017 Stone row
  Description

  Marked 'The Ninestones' on the 1839 OS 6-inch map. On the E side of the pass between Slievebawn and the Black Banks and Mount Leinster. Nine low stones set in alignment orientated E-W (L 11.5m; distance between stones 1m-1.2m; H of stones 0.38m - 0.63m). According to OS Field Namebooks, erected to commemorate nine men murdered and buried nearby. While the extant remains are hardly sufficient to permit classification as a stone row with certainty the remains bear close resemblance to many monuments of this class. In light of the tradition recorded by the OS the interpretation given must be regarded as tentative and a proper elucidation of the monument must await further investigation.

• CW020-027 Cursus
  Description

  On a steep mountain slope on the northern spur of Mount Leinster. A similar curus monument (CW020-026----) is located c. 1.7km to the W-WNW in Knockendrane townland. It consists of two parallel banks (Wth c. 2m; H c. 0.4m), 33m apart, aligned NNW-SSE, which is visible over 400m (Corlett 2014, 21). The banks are obscured by blanket bog, but are likely to be constructed of stone (ibid.). The monument, which appears to end short of the summit, is known locally as the Witches' Slide (ibid.). The southern portion of the cursus appears to be aligned with a cairn (CW023-007----/WX008-001----) 2km to the SSE on the summit of Mount Leinster, on the Carlow-Wexford border. There are also two other possible cursus monuments, (WI027-089---- and KD) on Keadeen Mountain, Co. Wicklow and on Brewel Hill (KD032-058----) in Co. Kildare respectively.
