Description
In scrubland on the N side of the floor of Poulacarran valley. Listed as ‘Potential site – aerial photo’ in the RMP (1996). This rectangular cashel (45m ENE–WSW; 33.4m NNW–SSE) is defined by double-faced stone walls (Wth 1m; max. H at N 4m; H at S 1m) made of large horizontally laid stones. A later drystone field boundary overlies the E side. A stone spread (Wth c. 1.5–2m) is visible at the base of the wall internally. Outside the SE corner a more extensive stone spread (Wth c. 6.5m) is probably due to the more recent collapse of a higher section of the wall. The interior is overgrown with ferns and grass. The remains of a structure (CL009-050001-) lie in the NW corner. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 27 January 2022
- CL009-050001 Structure
Description
Within the NW sector of the interior of a cashel (CL009-050----). Low wall footings (Wth 1m; H 0.4) form the E and S sides of a possible structure (int. dims. 9m E-W; 8m N-S) that was built against the cashel wall. Possibly an outhouse or an area corralled off the rest of the interior. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 27 January 2022
- CL009-051 Ringfort - cashel
Description
On the floor of Poulacarran valley in hazel woodland. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular enclosure (c. 34m NE-SW; c. 26m NW-SE). Due to the dense growth of hazel, this monument could not be located on a field inspection in 1997. A number of the field walls in the vicinity had been cleared as a result of reclamation works.

- CL009-054 Ringfort - cashel
Description
In an area of reclaimed pastureland but surrounded by a patch of scrub from SW to NE; there is a farmhouse and yard immediately to the SE. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map, with the label ‘Cahermackirilla’ on the latter, and ‘Cathair Mhic Oirialla (?)’ on Robinson’s map (1977). This large subcircular cashel (ext. dims. 46m E–W; 44.6m N–S) is defined by a double-faced stone wall (Wth 3.7–4.4m; int. H 0.86–2m; ext. H 0.5–2.6m) which is widest and highest at S. Its outer wall-face here has a batter and at least two vertical wall joints (4m apart) are visible. A later drystone wall (L 11.5m) is built over the outer wall-face from WSW to SW. The poorly preserved entrance at ESE widens from the interior (Wth 2m) to the exterior (Wth 2.5m) but this is probably the result of later alteration or deterioration. This is supported by Westropp’s (1898, 364) description, where he notes that the sides of the entrance passage (Wth 2.4m) were parallel rather than stepped and lined with large stones. Three steps (Wth 0.4m) are visible in the inner wall-face at S. Extensive quarrying has occured in the grass-covered interior, most clearly in a rectangular area (15m E–W; 13m N–S) at S that is partly lined by a drystone wall. Spoil mounds and trails are visible in the W and N sectors. Westropp (ibid.) recorded modern houses and garden plots within the interior, as well as a rock cleft modified as a drain. Grass-covered stone walls abutting the wall at E, SSW and NNW may be the remains of associated field boundaries. Another cashel (CL009-053004-) lies c. 232m to NNE.

- CL009-055 Cairn - unclassified
Description
On a high point covered by hazel wood, at the edge of a shelf overlooking the Poulacarran and Eanty valleys from SW to NE; the land slopes steeply immediately to the NW. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This low overgrown subcircular cairn (11.4m NE–SW; 9.4m NW–SE; H 0.2–0.5m) has a relatively flat top (11.4m NE–SW; 8.9m NW–SE) and is fairly straight edged at NE, SE and SW but is scarped at NW. It is constructed of generally quite large stones; no kerbstones are visible. It is surrounded by a berm (Wth 1.8–2.8m), outside of which the townland wall (H 1.2m), between Poulacarran and Cahermackirilla townlands, circumvents it from S and NW. Another drystone wall (max. H 0.8m) avoids it between NE and S. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 3 February 2022
- CL009-075016 Cairn - unclassified
Description
In level, rough grazing to the SSE of Carran Church (CL009-075001-) and Graveyard (CL009-075002-) overlooking the Poulacarran Valley to the E, and also associated with a Settlement Cluster (CL009-075005-) concentrated just NW of Carran Church. One of five small cairns visible to the SSE (CL009-075003- and CL009-075015-), SW (CL009-075016- and CL009-075017-) and at W (CL009-075018-) of Carran Graveyard. While they may be the result of – or may have been augmented by - field clearance, it’s possible that some, at least, (in particular CL009-075003- and CL009-075018-) may have functioned as penitential stations associated with Carran Church? Westropp (1900-1902, 134) recorded, ‘South of the church (CL009-075001-) is a small cairn, round which coffins are carried …’ This is likely to be the ‘Carn’ recorded on the OS 6-inch maps (CL009-075003-) The practice was not recorded by the time of Swinfen's writing (1992, 9). Westropp (1906-1907, 460) further reported that a cist was covered by a cairn in Carran townland (see also Westropp 1898, 362), however, no cist is visible in any of these five cairns. CL009-075016- was recorded by Dowd, Crumlish and O’Gorman (2007, 34: Cairn B) as a roughly circular cairn (diam. 4m; H 1m) composed of relatively large stones (L 0.3-0.5m). An upright limestone slab (H0.6m; Wth 0.3m) stands on the S-edge of the cairn. See attached CL009-075016-_1: their photo from S, with a nearby cairn (CL009-075017-) visible behind, and part of Carran Graveyard wall just visible at top right. References Dowd, A. Crumlish B.

- CL009-079 Ringfort - cashel
Description
In hazel and rough pasture at the N edge of a plateau overlooking Poulacarran Valley, with land sloping steeply to N and gently to W. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This subrectangular cashel (26.3m N-S; 23.3m E-W) is defined by a stone wall (Wth c. 1.2-2.1m; int. H c. 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 0.2-1.2m) with rounded corners. The outer wall-face is traceable all around. The stones are large (max. L 1m; Wth 0.5m; H 0.3m) and laid in random courses. Westropp (1898, 359) had described this a ‘coarse thin ring-wall’, but a souterrain (CL009-079002-) is built within the wall, near the W end of the N side. The lower part of the outer wall-face and the entire inner wall-face are covered by stone spill (total Wth 5-7m; H 0.2-0.5m). A later drystone wall (H c. 1m) is built over the cashel perimeter. At W this later wall curves into the cashel interior, at a point where the original wall had collapsed. The interior appears to slope from N toward the centre. A house of indeterminate date (CL009-079003-) overlies the interior wall spill at N. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 12 April 2022

Description
Situated within the N wall of a cashel (CL009-079----), near the NW corner. This inaccessible souterrain passage (visible L 3.6m; Wth 1.4m; max. D 0.8m) is oriented E-W and is covered by lintels. Its W end is overgrown by hazel trees. There is a possible collapsed circular chamber at the E end. Around this is built a later drystone wall (diam. 2m) which adjoins a house of indeterminate date (CL009-079003-) overlying the cashel wall.

- CL009-079003 House - indeterminate date
Description
Situated on the N perimeter of a cashel (CL009-079----), this rectangular house of indeterminate date (int. dims. 8m E-W; min. 2.6m N-S) is defined by stone walls with rounded corners. The double-faced N wall (Wth 0.6m; H 0.8m) is well built with three courses visible. There is a doorway (Wth not discernible) in the E end of the N wall. A probable bench (L 2.4m; Wth 1m) projects in from the S wall. Abutting the W exterior of the house is a looped drystone wall (diam. 2m) around the edge of a possible collapsed chamber of souterrain (CL009-079002-), which extends to the W.

- CL009-084005 Ringfort - cashel
Description
In a slight fold at the bottom of a N-facing slope, in rough pasture. Hachured on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP. This subcircular cashel (20.7m E-W; 20.3m N-S) is defined by a double-faced stone wall (Wth 2.2-3.3m; int. H max. 0.6m; ext. H 1m). Stone spill (Wth. 3.3-4.6m; H max. 0.6m) around the edge of the interior obscures the inner wall-face. A later drystone wall is built over the outer wall-face from W to N. Later drystone structures are built on the wall and the stone spill of the perimeter at SE-SW. Two modern rectangular drystone structures are built against the outer wall-face at N and E. The structure at N (int. dims. 7m E-W; 3.25m N-S) has a double-faced wall (H max. 1.5m). The E structure (int. dims. 5m N-S; 1.7m E-W; H max. 1.4m) is more dilapidated, but with a doorway and cupboard in its E wall. A hut site (CL009-084030-) lies c. 81m to the SE and an enclosure (CL009-084011-) lies c. 85m to the NNE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 12 April 2022
- CL009-084006 Stone row
Description
On a plateau with wide views, especially from S to W, and within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). Indicated and labelled ‘Standing Stone’ on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed at ‘Standing stone’ in the RMP (1996). This stone row (L 6.5m) comprises three limestone slabs set upright in a gryke and oriented NNE-SSW. The N stone (H 1.15m; Wth 1m; T 0.1m) has a rounded pointed top. Situated 1.7m to its SSW, the central stone (H 1.67m; Wth 1.4m; T 0.15m) is highest towards its N end. The flat-topped S stone (H 0.6m; Wth 1.2m; T 0.1m-0.15m) is 1.2m SSW of the central one. Coffey (1990, 61) suggested that these stones originally formed part of an ancient wall and that most of its stones were removed to build ‘a more modern wall close by’. The stone row forms part of a concentration of prehistoric monuments in the immediate vicinity that were investigated by Grant (1995, 31-3). The closest monuments in this ‘complex’ include: a wedge tomb (CL009-084007-), an unclassified megalithic tomb (CL009-084008-) and a cist (CL009-084009-), which lie c. 20m to the SE and another standing stone (CL009-084032-), which lies c. 21m to the E.

- CL009-084010 Cairn - unclassified
Description
On a high point on a plateau in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). This is a well-preserved grass-covered circular cairn (12.5m N-S; 12.3m E-W; H 1.4-1.6m). An old field wall approaching it from the N runs over it, while a grass-covered mound wall extends off it to the NE. The cairn has been the focus of a research excavation. During the first season a cremated adult burial (CL009-084031-) was uncovered between two layers of the cairn material; finds included one complete blue glass bead, three fragments of similar beads and a piece of non-local clear quartz (Grant 2002, 29, no. 112). The second season revealed two structural elements of the cairn: an internal drystone facing and a small number of upright slabs that indicated consolidation of the structure. The investigations also identified two areas of disturbance: an earlier one near the top of the cairn and a second one along the N side. Ancient slippage of cairn material was noted, especially at the drystone face. Fragments of a number of animal bones were recovered as well as three other very small concentrations of cremated bone, presumed to be human. A fragment of water-rolled stone was also found (ibid., 2006, 553, AD9). Grant (1995, 32) suggests that this cairn (‘Cairn D’) is a focal point within a complex of prehistoric monuments and mound walls that includes two cairns (CL009-084012-) and (CL009-084013-), c. 47m to the SSE and c. 75 to the ESE respectively, a wedge tomb (CL009-084007-), c. 43m to the SW, an unclassified megalithic tomb (CL009-084008-) and possible cist (CL009-084009-), c. 48m and c. 53m to the SW, a standing stone (CL009-084032-), c. 29m to the WSW and a stone row (CL009-084006-), c. 49m to the WSW.

- CL009-084011 Enclosure
Description
Situated at the bottom of a S-facing slope within a field system (CL009-084001-). Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Indicated on a 1st ed. OS 6-inch map set annotated by Westropp. On inspection in 1998 this was found to be a rectangular enclosure (int. dims. 35m E-W; 26m N-S) of modern construction defined by a double-faced drystone wall (Wth 1m; H 1.5m) on the N and E sides and by simple rough drystone walls at S and W. There is an entrance on the E side. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 21 March 2016
- CL009-084014 Enclosure
Description
At the W edge of a plateau, on a gentle S-facing slope in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This very poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (c. 25m N-S; c. 23.5m E-W) is defined by a stone spread, which is best preserved at W (Wth 2-3m; H 0.2-1m). While it can hardly be traced between E and S (Wth 1m) traces of the outer wall-face are visible between ENE and ESE. It is overlain by a drystone field wall between ESE and SSE. Another drystone wall has been built inside the perimeter of the original wall between N and ENE. A house (CL009-084029-) lies c. 55m to the ENE and there is a hut site (CL009-084026-) c. 70m to the NE.

- CL009-084016 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Near the W edge of a plateau, in rough pasture within a multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This almost circular cashel (ext. dims. 33.4m N-S; 32.6m E-W) is defined by a wide stone spread (Wth 6-12m; int. H 0.5-0.6m; ext. H 0.2-2.5m) that has been partly rebuilt as a strong double-faced wall between W and NNE and as a drystone wall, now collapsed, between NNE and SE. This wall is broken out between SE and W. The outer wall-face of the original cashel wall is visible most of the way round. A gap at NNE is modern. The interior slopes steeply from N towards the centre of the site. There is a house site (CL009-084027-) in the NW quadrant. Two small enclosures/pens, defined by drystone wall, are visible to its S. There are two hut sites (CL009-084020- and CL009-084026-) c. 42m to the ENE and c. 35m to the WSW respectively and a house site (CL009-084029-) c. 55m to the SSE.

Description
Near the W edge of a plateau, in rough pasture within a multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). Listed as ‘Burial mound’ in the RMP (1996). This poorly preserved hut site survives as a low flat-topped rubble mound (dims. of top 5.3m E-W; 5.05m N-S; dims. of base 8.8m E-W; 8.4m N-S; H 0.6-0.8m), in which an arc of curving inner wall-face (L 4.5m; max. H 1.2m) is visible at between NW and ENE. There may be corbelling in the upper courses of the wall, although this is unclear. A cashel (CL009-084020-) les c. 38m to the WSW.

- CL009-084026 Hut site
Description
At the W edge of a plateau, on a gentle S-facing slope in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). This irregular hut site (int. dims. 7m N-S; max. 5.6m E-W) has straight S and W sides and a curving NE side. It is defined by a double-faced wall (Wth 0.7-0.8m), only one course of which survives. There is a gap (Wth 1m) near the N end of the W wall, which may be an entrance. A sunken passage (total L 3.75; Wth 0.8-0.9m; max. D 0.45m) runs from the interior of the hut (L 1.05m) through the gap, towards the N end of the W wall, and continues a short distance (L 2.3m) to its W before going underground and inaccessible. Most of the passage is exposed but three roof lintels are visible, two inside the hut and one immediately outside it. The most easterly lintel inside is in situ and the back wall of the passage is visible 0.4m to its E. The second lintel has collapsed into the passage through the gap in the wall. The third or most westerly lintel is immediately outside the gap and is also in situ. Considering how narrow and apparently shallow this feature is, it is probably the remains of a drain. A house (CL009-084029-) lies c. 18m to the SSW, an enclosure (CL009-084014-) c. 66m to the WSW and there is a cashel (CL009-084016-) c. 28.5m to the NE.

Description
Situated within the NW quadrant of the interior of a cashel (CL009-084016-). This rectangular house, built against the perimeter, (int. dims. 6.6m E-W; 2.55m N-S) is defined by stone walls (Wth 0.85-0.95m; max. H 1m). The doorway (Wth 0.8m) is near the E end of the S wall. The bottom of a window embrasure (Wth 0.45m) is visible to the W of it. Two small corrals/pens defined by drystone walls are visible to its S.

- CL009-084029 House - indeterminate date
Description
At the W edge of a plateau, on a gentle S-facing slope in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). This rectangular house (7.3m ESE-WNW; 6.3m NNE-SSW) is defined by a collapsed double-faced stone wall (Wth 0.6-0.7m). The base of a window embrasure (Wth 0.6m) survives at the E end of the S wall. Just to the W of this, on the inner wall-face, there is a wall cupboard (H 0.4m; Wth 0.45m; D. 0.45m) the top of which is level with the windowsill. There is another cupboard (H >0.3m; Wth 0.5m; D. 0.7m) at the S end of the W wall, which is blocked at the bottom. The depth of this alcove suggests that either the W wall—the outer face of which is not extant—was very wide or this ‘cupboard’ is in fact a doorway. A later drystone shelter built in the interior comprises an E-W passage (L 5m; Wth 1.55m), which curves to the N at its W end and terminates in a circular corbelled chamber (diam. 1.7-1.8m; max. H 1.4m). Westropp (1898, 361) described this as a ‘small closed souterrain.’ There is a hut site (CL009-084026-) c. 15m to the ENE and a cashel (CL009-084016-) and enclosure (CL009-084014-) lie c. 49m to the NE and c. 48m to the SW respectively.

- CL009-084030 Hut site
Description
On a high point on a plateau in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). This subcircular hut site (int. dims. 4.4m NE-SW; 3.3m NW-SE) is defined by a grass-covered stone wall (Wth 0.6-0.8m) and associated spill. The hut site is partly encircled (15-22m away) between NW and E by a later drystone wall, with stones laid with their long axis across the wall. At its W end is a small enclosure (int. dims. 6.1m E-W; 4.2m N-S; ext. dims. 8m E-W; 5m N-S) defined by walls of the same type. As part of an investigation of the monuments in the immediate vicinity, Grant (1995; see also Grant 2004; 2006) referred to this drystone wall and enclosure as ‘Enclosure H’. A cairn (CL009-084010-) lies c. 15.5m to the SSE and there is a standing stone (CL009-084032-) c. 34m to the SW. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 3 May 2022
- CL009-084031 Cremated remains
Description
During the first season of a research excavation on a complex of prehistoric monuments, a cremated burial was uncovered on the N side of a cairn (CL009-084010-). It was found between two ‘layers’ of the cairn material. One complete blue glass bead and three fragments of other blue glass beads were found, as well as a clear piece of quartz (Grant 2004, 29, no. 112). Subsequent analysis identified the remains as those of an adult human (ibid., 2006, 553, AD9). (ibid., 1995-31-3) Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 3 May 2022
- CL009-084032 Standing stone
Description
On a plateau in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). This standing stone (H 1.73m; Wth 1.3m; T 0.16m) is oriented NNE-SSW. Its NNE edge is almost straight and vertical. The SSW edge is uneven and curves from the top of the stone towards its base. It forms part of a concentration of prehistoric monuments in the immediate vicinity that was investigated by Grant (1995, 31-3; 2004, 29, no. 112; 2006, 553, AD9). The closest monuments in this ‘complex’ include: a wedge tomb (CL009-084007-), an unclassified megalithic tomb (CL009-084008-) and a cist (CL009-084009-), which lie c. 29m to the SSW; a stone row (CL009-084006-) c. 21m to the WSW and cairn (CL009-084010-) c. 24m to ENE.
