- CL025-221 Children's burial ground
Description
Situated towards the top of a gentle NW-facing slope in a gently undulating karst landscape. Listed as ‘Burial ground’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). O’Donovan 1839 (Comber 1997, 173) mentions a ‘little burying place for children, called Killbeg, in the townland of Fanruis’. There is a townland called Faunrusk nearby to the north of Ballymulqueeny but it is likely that ‘Kylebeg Burial ground’ as it is named on the 1840 OS 6-inch map in Ballymulqueeny is what O’Donovan was referring to. Named ‘Kylebeg Burial Ground’ on the 1840 OS 6-inch map but named ‘Kylebeg Children’s Burial Ground (Disused)’ on the 1920 edition. The extent of the burial ground is indicated on both maps by a dotted line. However, the 1840 edition places it some 15m to the west of the 1920 location as does the OS 25-inch map where the name is given as ‘Kylebeg Burial Ground (site of)’ implying that it was no longer extant. On inspection in 2000 no trace of the burial ground was found at the 25-inch map location. However, an overlay of the maps with current aerial imagery indicates that the dotted area shown on the 1920 map lies within the heavy overgrowth at the E side of the field. It is possible that remains may still be extant in that particular area. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 13 October 2020
- CL026-074 Ringfort - cashel
Description
On a gentle S-facing slope in pasture with commanding views. Some natural rock outcrop occurs in the field. Hachured as a circular enclosure on the 1842 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A circular area (int. diam. 23m E-W; 22m N-S) defined by a wall (Wth 2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.2m) at W and elsewhere by a low stone spread (at E: Wth 3m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.7m) although at S the enclosing element has been reduced to an external scarp (H 1.3m). There is some internal stone-facing at W and external stone-facing is evident at W and N. Existing rock outcrop may have been used in part as the enclosing element. An overgrown mound occurs in the S sector. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 13 October 2020
- CL026-075 House - 17th century
Description
Situated on a gentle E-facing slope on the N side of an E-W laneway at a point where it turns S. Indicated and named 'Coulcloha (in ruins)' on both the 1840 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map, an anglicization of 'Cabhail Clocha' meaning 'Stone Ruin'. A five-bay two-storey house with attic (ext. dims. 15.05m ENE-WSW; 8.05m NNW-SSE) built of erratically coursed rubble field stones set in strong lime mortar with massive rough quoins on the corners (wall T 0.6m). The front (or SE) wall is not extant but the rear and gable walls survive to two storeys. An inserted cross-wall divides the house into two chambers, and because it is dug into the slope the W chamber at the ground floor has no surviving windows or doors. At the first floor there may have been five windows on the N wall and there were fireplaces on the E and W gables. Splayed, tall, narrow openings survive on the rear wall. The house is likely to date to around the late 17th century. (pers. comm. Risteard Ua Cróinín, Feb. 2008) Compiled by: Michael Moore and Mary Tunney Date of upload: 5 December 2016
