Recorded monuments

• CL008-080 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low hillock, in undulating, coniferous forestry, in an area of rough pasture and bog. A nearby stream flows anticlockwise around the site (c. 70m to the N; c. 110m to the W and c. 120m to the S). Hachured and named 'Knockalassa Fort' on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as 'Ringfort' in the RMP (1996). This circular rath (diam. 39.5m) is defined by a low, round-topped, earthen bank and an external fosse. The enclosing bank is best preserved (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.45m) W-N; from SE-S, the bank is reduced to a low scarp (H 0.25m). While there are several gaps in the bank, one (Wth 4.5m) at E may be an original entrance since there is no obvious trace of the fosse in this area. Elsewhere, the fosse is visible as a poorly defined, shallow depression (Wth 1-2m; D 0.1-0.2m) ESE-N, and its line (Wth 1.5m) is preserved as a vegetation band of reeds and rushes N-ENE. The interior of the monument is slightly higher (max. 0.5m) at the centre than at the perimeter. Summary by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 24 November 2022

• CL008-081 Platform
  Description

  A prominent hillock rises c. 5m above the surrounding bog and low scrub. The hillock itself is an area of coarse pasture while the general area is cut (disused) overgrown bogland. Newly planted conifers stand 150m away to the NW and E with more mature trees visible to S. Some bog is still in use farther to the S while immediately to the W traces of old cultivation ridges are visible. This hillock is named 'Knockaunawaddra' on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Named 'Cnocán an Mhadra' on Robinson's (1977) map. On the 1897 OS 25-inch plan a point 68m to the NE is marked and labelled 'Lime Kiln (Disused)'. Listed as 'Enclosure (possible)' in the RMP (1996). The compact summit comprises a slightly sloping, roughly oval-shaped area (c. 11m E-W; 7m N-S) defined by a faint scarp (max. H 0.5m at S).
