• CL045-031 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a steep-sided spur of gravel on the County Clare bank of the River Shannon in a strategic location where Lough Derg narrows into the river c. 1.3km N of Killaloe town. Known as ‘Brian Boru’s Fort’ or ‘Beal Boru’, this monument has long been identified, though without certainty, as the seat of Brian Boru, High King of Ireland from AD 1002 until his death at the Battle of Clontarf in AD 1014. According to Gem (2006, 94-5, note 71) the site clearly formed part of the wider Kincora complex. Excavated in 1961 by M.J. O’Kelly, the site was found to have originally been a ringfort with an internal house (CL045-031002-). During excavation it was found that a turf layer had formed over the ringfort following abandonment. It was revealed that the primary ringfort bank (H c. 1.1-2m; Wth 4.8-5.7m) was stone faced internally and was held in place externally by a closely set wooden palisade. A portion of the original fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 2.5m) was found fully preserved close to the present entrance. Coins found during the excavation allowed the internal house to be dated to the 11th century and a reference in the Annals of the Four Masters tells us that it was raided and demolished in AD 1116 (Harbison 1992, 55). The site was later reused but was unfinished and uninhabited and the present high bank, deep fosse and raised centre with sunken interior may represent an attempt by the Normans to build a ringwork (CL045-031003-) in the early 13th century. Beal Boru is a National Monument in state care, no. 591. (O’Kelly 1962, 1-27) The following images have been uploaded: CL045-031----_01.jpg View of tree-covered bank from SW.

• CL045-031002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Situated in the W portion of the interior of a ringfort (CL045-031----), 6m from the bank and aligned E-W. This rectangular house (4m x 2.5m) was revealed during excavation (O’Kelly 1962, 6-7) and was constructed of wooden posts with a doorway (Wth 1.3m) at the SW corner. Two posts set forward from the door jambs suggested a protecting porch and there was a flag stone passage leading through the porch into the house. The flag stones had been worn to a polish indicating a long period of use. There was a central hearth with a narrow upright stone (Wth 0.4m; H 0.5m; T 0.2m) forming a hearth-back. A Hiberno-Norse coin (dated to c. AD 1070) was found beside the hearth and a slate trial piece was found in the porch. A second coin (dated to c. AD 1035) and two bronze pins were found in a large pit (2.5m x 2m; D 1.85m) E of the E end of the house. (O'Kelly 1962, 1-27) Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 16 January 2018

• CL045-031003 Castle - ringwork
  Description

  Situated on a steep-sided spur of gravel on the County Clare bank of the River Shannon in a strategic location where Lough Derg narrows into the river c. 1.3km N of Killaloe town. Known as ‘Brian Boru’s Fort’ or ‘Beal Boru’, this monument has long been identified, though without certainty, as the seat of Brian Boru, High King of Ireland from AD 1002 until his death at the Battle of Clontarf in AD 1014.

Coins found during the excavation allowed the internal house to be dated to the 11th century and a reference in the Annals of the Four Masters tells us that it was raided and demolished in AD 1116 (Harbison, 1992, 55). The site was later reused but was unfinished and uninhabited and the present high bank, deep fosse and raised centre with sunken interior may represent an attempt by the Normans to build a ringwork in the early 13th century. The remains consist of a circular area (overall diam. 70-75m; int. diam. c. 20m) defined by a high rounded bank (H 4-6m; Wth at base c. 17m) a deep fosse (Wth 10m; D 1-2m). There is a large entrance feature at N with a causeway across the fosse. Stone facing on the external face of the bank and the entrance feature may have been added between 1893 and 1911 (O’Kelly 2961, 4). The bank is thickly covered with beech trees and Scots pine. The trees were not disrupted during the excavations. Beal Boru is a National Monument in State Care. (O’Kelly 1962, 1-27; Harbison 1992, 55) This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 24/1976).
