Recorded monuments

• CL017-064 Promontory fort - inland
  Description

  On a low headland (H 1m) jutting W into Inchiquin Lough, with a small bog to the N and land rising very slightly to the E. Indicated on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Partly hachured and labelled ‘Entrenchment’ on the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Promontory fort (possible)’ in the RMP (1996). This inland promontory fort (int. dims. c. 80m N-S; c. 80m E-W) is defined at the E by a tree-covered bank and outer fosse which extend in an E-arcing N-S line across the very slight ‘neck’ or narrowest point of the headland. At the centre (i.e., easternmost point) of this line is a probable modern gap (Wth 3m). To the N of this gap the bank and fosse extend NW for 43m, where they may be cut by a modern lane—the driveway of a house built at the W end of the peninsula, within the area originally enclosed by the promontory fort. The bank (Wth of base 6.9m; Wth of top 4.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) is flat-topped, and the fosse (Wth of base 8.6m; Wth of top 14.7m; ext. D 0.3m) is almost flat-bottomed. To the S of the gap the round-topped bank (Wth of base 6.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.6m) and fosse extend SSE for c. 20m; however, the flat-bottomed fosse widens as it goes S (dims. at S centre: Wth of base 17m; Wth of top 26m; ext. D 0.3m), its E side being oriented SSE. Westropp (1908, 35) mentioned a ‘trace of an outer mound’ immediately E of the fosse. No archaeological remains were found here during an inspection in 1998—only a modern mound. Westropp (ibid.) suggested that before the lake was partly drained in modern times, the ends of the bank and fosse would have reached down to its edge.

• CL017-070001 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  On a S-facing slope in pasture. Indicated and labelled ‘Terry Alt’s House (Site of)’ on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and on the Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Potential site - name’ in the RMP (1996). This, apparently mild-mannered, house owner’s name was adopted (ironically) by a secret society for agrarian reform. The ‘Terry Alts’ were active locally from 1828-1831 (Westropp 1900, 413; Donnelly 1994). When inspected in 1998, no visible surface remains were found.   Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott   Date of upload: 9-10-2025

• CL017-070002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  At the bottom of a S-facing slope, just SW of the main Killinaboy-Corrofin road (R476). Indicated and labelled ‘Toberinneenboy’ on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map, and is dedicated to the local saint Iníon Baoith (Houlihan 2021). This small subcircular holy well (diam. 1.1m) is defined by a wall (Wth 0.45m; int. H 0.95m above water) which has been restored and mortared, with a slightly splayed entrance gap (int. Wth 0.4m; ext. Wth 0.55m) at SW. Covering the well is a gabled roof built of Liscannor flagstones on a wooden frame (L 1.45m, NE-SW) with three ceramic ridge tiles. Just to the NW of the well is a large deciduous tree, on the bole of which is affixed a wooden shrine/miniature grotto with a statue of Mary against a painted backdrop of rocks, vegetation and blue sky. The well and tree are within a small rectangular enclosure (int. dims. 10m N-S; 7m E-W) defined by a drystone wall with a stile at E. The enclosed area is surfaced with gravel laid on black plastic and a seat against the wall at N consists of a cut limestone slab (L 1.25m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.09m) with milled edges resting on two cement blocks.    Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott    Date of upload: 10-10-2025

• CL017-071 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a slight W-facing slope in undulating pastureland. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This tree-covered subcircular rath (int. dims. 27.8m E-W; 26.3m N-S; ext. dims. 35m E-W; 34.4m N-S) is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-4.4m; int. H 0-0.8m; ext. H 0.3-0.5m) which is reduced to an external scarp (H 0.6m) at the W. A double-faced wall (Wth 1-2m; H 0.5-1m) is built along the top of the bank, and wall collapse is spread over the bank. This wall is incorporated into a field wall which runs E-W over the N edge of the rath. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 14 August 2023
