Recorded monuments

• CL009-192 Hut site
  Description

  On the SW-sloping floor of a NE-SW ravine, in pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). This circular hut site (int. dims. 5.7m N-S; c. 4.7m E-W) is defined by a grass-covered bank of stone wall collapse (Wth 2m; H 0.3-0.7m). Several large stones protruding from the bank, especially at NNW-NE, may be the remains of an outer wall-face. There is a wide opening (Wth 3.8m) at the E. A cashel (CL009-059070-) lies c. 39m to the NW. The following image has been uploaded: CL009-192----_01.jpg View from NNW Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 12 July 2022

• CL016-020013 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In an unreclaimed area on the S edge of a shelf at the foot of Ballyganner Hill within an extensive field system (CL009-059001-). Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A circular area (ext. dims. 26.2m N-S; 26.2m E-W) defined by a stone spread and drystone-walling (ext. H 0.8-1.4m). The outer wall-face is well defined but is largely obscured with scrub and spill. A build up of material in the interior is level with the inner edge of the stone spread which defines the perimeter, except at the S where the stone spread rises 0.8m above the interior. A cashel (CL016-020014-) and an enclosure (CL016-020035-) are located c. 17m and c. 55m to the SE respectively. A cashel (CL016-020012-) and souterrain (CL016-020041-) are located c. 95m to the SW.

• CL016-020014 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On the S extent of a shelf at the base of Ballyganner hill, with gently sloping ground to the E and SE and within an extensive field system (CL009-059001-). Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A subcircular area (ext. dims. 28.6m NE-SW; 24.6m NW-SE) defined by a stone spread (Wth 1-1.5m) of wall collapse. The outer face of the wall (H 1-1.5m) is well defined all the way around and comprises up to three courses of stone laid horizontally (individual stones: L c. 0.8m; Wth 0.4m; H 0.8m). At NW a drystone wall is built on top of the outer face. Gaps occur at NNW and ENE but are not original entrances. The interior is a built up and is level with the stone spread defining the perimeter. An enclosure (CL016-020035-) abuts the cashel to the SE and a cashel (CL016-020013-) lies c. 18m to the NNW.

• CL016-020035 Enclosure
  Description

  At the base of a natural slope a stone spread (Wth c. 2m) is concentric with a cashel wall (CL016-020014-) from ENE to SSW (c. 10m from the cashel wall) forming an annexe. Radial walls extend from this spread towards the cashel from ENE to S. All of the walls are in a collapsed state except a drystone wall at the S. The relationship to the cashel is unclear and this may represent the remains of a concentric enclosure. Another ringfort-cashel (CL016-020013-) is located c. 60m to the NNW.

• CL016-123 Quarry
  Description

  On the summit of a hill named Knockardnagowel. Described by Westropp (1913, 257-8) as a ‘conspicuous object from the north and the south, consisting of two great parallel mounds over the saddle of the hill’. The mounds were aligned N-S with slightly lower ground between them giving it the appearance of an ‘old wide embanked road’ (ibid.). This is a disused quarry. The mounds are spoil mounds thrown up to the E and W of a quarry strip (Wth c. 16m) which runs roughly N-S across the summit of the hill.
