• CW020-029 Enclosure
  Description

  On the lower W-facing slopes of Mount Leinster in upland pasture. An oval enclosure (diam. c. 52m N-S; c. 48m E-W) defined by a low stoney bank, though the bank is not evident in the NW quadrant. Identified and reported by Michael Monahan. The enclosure is clearly visible on the ground and can also be seen on satellite imagery (OS ortho and Digitalglobe). See attached photographs taken by Michael Monahan: CW020-029----_01 Overview from NE CW020-029----_02 E stoney bank from S CW020-029----_03 SW stoney bank from E Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 14 May 2019

• CW023-040 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  On the W-facing slope of Mount Leinster, in an area densely overgrown with bracken. A rectangular structure (ext. dims. 20m E-W; 5m N-S) identified by Séamus Ó Murchú on Bing satellite imagery (Ó Murchú 2016). This is not depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map or on subsequent editions, suggesting it pre-dates 1840. Described as being in a severely collapsed state but appears to be a single storey house with outhouse on the E side (ibid.). When visited there was no evidence of an entrance, though it is likely that this had been blocked up to prevent sheep getting in (ibid.).
