• CL009-059081 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a S-facing slope in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Indicated on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This subcircular cashel (ext. dims. 37.8m N-S; 34.5m E-W) is defined by a stone spread (Wth 3-5.5m but 7.5m at E; int. H 0.2-0.5m; ext. H 0.2-0.5m). A drystone field wall (H 1.2m; Wth 0.6-0.7m) overlies it from SW to NW. Traces of the outer wall-face, consisting of large horizontally laid stones, are visible beneath the latter wall. Gaps at S (Wth 0.6m) and N (Wth 0.9m) are not original. A stone-lined structure (c. 6m NE-SW; c. 3m NW-SE) built on the line of the rubble at NW is probably of post-medieval date or later. There is a possible souterrain (CL009-059111-) in the E sector of the interior. Another cashel (CL009-059083-) lies c. 74m to the SE.

• CL009-059083 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Near the bottom of a S-facing slope, with restricted views, in rough pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Indicated on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This rectangular cashel (30.5m ENE-WSW; 29.75m NNW-SSE) is defined by a double-faced stone wall (Wth at E 2.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8m) with rounded corners. The flush outer wall-face, composed of quite large horizontally laid stones (L c. 0.5m; Wth 0.5m; H 0.2m), is absent at the W end of the S side. A later drystone wall (H c. 0.6m) is built over the outer wall-face. The inner wall-face is only traceable on the E side. There is a spread of rubble (H 0.5m; total Wth 4.4-6.6m) against the inner and outer wall-faces. A possible entrance (Wth 2.7m) lies at the S end of the E wall, defined by two lines through the wall rubble. There are two houses within the cashel interior: one (CL009-059112-) against the W side, and another (CL009-059113-) in the SE corner. Another cashel (CL009-059081-) lies c. 74m to the NW.

• CL009-059084 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in rough pasture on the brow of a SE-facing slope. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996) as it was indicated on Robinson’s map of the Burren (1977). A D-shaped enclosure (int. dims. 29.4m N-S; 26.8m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (T 0.5-0.8m; max. H 1m) often with only one remaining course of transversely laid slabs.

• CL009-059091 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in a hollow on a S-facing slope in a hazel wood. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Indicated by a solid line on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. On inspection in 1997 this was found to be a large enclosure (diam. c. 60m) defined by a much collapsed drystone wall (Wth 1.5-2m; H 0.5-1m) of modern construction. There are some large loose boulders (up to 1m) in the wall but mostly the stones are small. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 9 March 2016

• CL009-059093 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  On a SE-facing slope in pasture and hazel scrub, within a multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Listed as ‘Cist’ in the RMP (1996), following de Valera and Ó Nualláin’s (1961, 43; see attached) interpretation of the monument as a divided/double cist, probably influenced by ‘true megalithic chambers’. A small wedge tomb (L 3.4m; Wth at WSW 0.9m, narrowing to 0.8m at ENE; max. H 0.8m) embedded in the centre of a grass-covered oval mound (c. 5m ENE-WSW; c. 3m NNW-SSE; H c. 1m). The tomb chamber comprises two parallel ENE-WSW rows of limestone slabs (0.9m apart at W, 0.8m apart at E), set upright on their long edges. There are two stones on the N side (W stone L 1.3m; H 0.3m; T 0.1m; E stone L 1.4m; H 0.6m; T 0.2m), with a 0.2m gap between them. There are four stones on the S side, three of which are set close together (W stone L 0.6m; H 0.1m; T 0.1m; central stone L 0.15m; Wth 0.1m; H 0.1m; E stone L 1.25m; H 0.2m; T 0.05m). A fourth coaligned slab lies c. 0.75m to the WSW. A transverse slab (L 0.7m; H 0.25m; T 0.1m) was set upright on its long edge across the chamber (i.e., oriented NNW-SSE), 0.8m from the ENE end. The possible continuation of the tomb in that direction may have been damaged by a NNW-SSE field bank. A wedge tomb (CL009-059094-) lies c. 13m to the SW and another wedge tomb (CL009-162----) lies c. 15m to N.

• CL009-059094 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture in a clearing in hazel woodland, with wide views from S to W, and within a multiperiod field system (CL016-020028-). Indicated and labelled ‘Dermot & Grania’s Bed’ on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Described by de Valera and Ó Nualláin (1961, 42-3; link below) as a largely intact wedge tomb (L c. 4.5m; Wth at W 2.1m, narrowing to 1.1m at E; H at W 1.6m, dropping to 1.45m at E) that was partly embedded in an elongated suboval mound (12m E-W; 8m N-S; H 0.7m), the edges of which were difficult to define at N and E. Of the kerbing noted by Westropp (1913, 257) that girded the mound, only one possible kerbstone (L 0.75m; H 0.2m) was identified at its SW edge. A field wall, running N-S, crossed the E end of the chamber. Both sides of the chamber, which was trapezoidal in plan and orientated WSW-ENE, comprised a massive limestone slab standing on its long edge. The S sidestone (L 5.05m; H at W 1.65m; H at E 1.25m; T 0.15-0.25m) was intact but had a central vertical crack. Its straight top edge was hammer dressed and sloped evenly from W to E. Westropp (ibid.) noted that a small hole was pierced through it. The N sidestone (L c. 4.55m) was broken and part of its central section was missing. The two upstanding portions included one to the W (L 0.9m; H 1.65m; T 0.1-0.2m) and one to the E (L 2.5m; H 1.5m; T 0.1-0.25m), with the base (L 0.35m; H 0.15m; T 0.12m) of the broken section in between them. The top edge of E stone was also hammer dressed. The E end of the tomb was open but what appeared to be a displaced backstone (L 1.75m; H 1m; T 0.12m) was situated at the E end of the N sidestone and leaned to the S. Parts of the edges of this stone appeared to be hammer dressed and the top W corner was chipped leaving a gap (L 0.6m; H 0.8m) with a curved edge. The entrance opened to the W and near the W end of the N sidestone, an upright stone (L 0.7m; H 0.35m; T 0.15m), oriented NE-SW, may have been part of an entry feature. The enormous capstone (L 5.5m; Wth at W 2.85m, narrowing to 2.35m at E; T 0.2-0.3m) was broken in two, with a piece missing to the N of a central fracture. It rested on the sidestones and the top it was covered by a low pile of earth and stone. Outer walling was visible to the S and N of the sidestones and also to the W of the entrance. The surviving portion of the outer S wall (min. L 3.9m) comprised three in situ upright slabs (L 0.35-0.85m; H 0.05-0.15m; T 0.05-0.1m) with a gap (L 1.6m) between the W and central slabs. A fourth slab (L 0.5m; H 0.7m; T 0.2m) set in the N-S field boundary, 0.5m to E, was also though to be part of this wall. Three slabs of the outer N wall (L c. 5.5m) also survived in situ and comprised a slab (L 1.65m; erect H 1.8; T 0.12-0.2m) leaning over at the W end of the tomb, another slab (L 0.9m; H 0.5m; T 0.1m) set 1.45m to its E and a third slab (L 1.25m; H 0.55m; T 0.1-0.15m) at the E end of the tomb. A slab (L 0.85m; H 0.2m; T 0.1m) situated 0.7m further to the E may also have been related to this wall. A slab (L 1.2m; H 0.3m; T 0.15m) between this wall and the N sidestone may have indicated a doubling of this outer walling. Outside the entrance, four slabs (L 0.5-1.2m; H 0.1-0.4m; T 0.1-0.2m) set upright and oriented NNW-SSE appeared to be the remains of a ‘frontal outer-walling’ (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1961, 42). An inspection of the tomb in 1997 found it to be unaltered in the interim. There are two other wedge tombs in the vicinity: CL009-162---- lies c. 30m to N and CL009-059093- lies c. 13m to the NE.

• CL016-020016 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a SE-facing slope on a small rise at the base of Ballyganner Hill and within an extensive field system (CL009-059001-). A large suboval area (69.5m N-S; 53.4m E-W, crest to crest) defined by a stone spread (Wth 4.6-7.5m; int. H 0.4-1m; ext. H 0.7-2m). Wall-facing is visible at NW (L c. 10m) and NNE (L c. 10m) and comprises large stones (L 1m; Wth 0.5m; H 0.4m). These sections of wall appear straight, likely due to the size of the enclosure. An enclosure (CL016-189----) occupies the S interior and three possible hut sites abut the inside of the perimeter at NW (CL016-190----) and SSW (CL016-191----) and W (CL016-192----).

• CL016-020019 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In a slight dip with a gentle slope to S and W and at the edge of a cliff to the S and E and within an extensive field system (CL009-059001-). Hachured on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Rectangular Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A rectangular area (ext. dims. 46.5m N-S; 43.2m E-W) defined by a stone spread (Wth 4-5m-7.3m; int. H 0.3-0.7m; ext. H 0.3-1.3) best preserved in the E and less so in S and W where it is absent or faintly visible. The original width of the wall (Wth 3.4-3.7m) can be traced on the N side. The corners of the cashel wall are curved at NW and NE. The wall has been robbed at W extent and partially at N. These walls were originally well defined with internal and external wall-facings of stones laid horizontally (dims. L c. 0.8m; Wth 0.3m H 0.4m) in two or three courses. A stone spread in the SW corner may represent a house site (CL016-188----). Two separate stone-filled depressions in the S where bedrock is exposed are aligned N-S (L 2.8m; Wth 1.2m) and E-W (L 4m; Wth 7.8m) and are likely natural. An bank or grass-covered wall extending from SE to NW outside the cashel at a distance of c. 10-17m is likely related. Two enclosures (CL016-020018- and CL016-020017-) are located c. 12m to the NNW and c. 70m to the SW. A subcircular cashel (CL016-020020-) is located c. 80m to the NE.

• CL016-020023 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In low-lying rough pastureland within a field system (CL009-059001-); a ridge rises c. 50m to the S. Indicated on the 1897 OS 25-inch map and the 1916 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as enclosure in the RMP (1996). A subcircular area (dims. 31.3m E-W; 29.2m N-S crest to crest) is defined by a stony earthen bank that is topped with a drystone field wall from NW to E to SW. A roughly N-S running field boundary cuts across it at NW and SW. The original bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.3m) is well preserved to the W of the latter wall. Elsewhere it has been altered by the addition of the drystone wall and clearance. The level of the interior is lower than the external ground level (at E: bank Wth 3.2m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.6m). In the N sector, three or four overgrown spoil mounds (diam. 5-6m; H 1.5m) are likely the result of clearance. A farm trackway skirts the site from E to S. A wedge tomb (CL016-020030-) is located c. 50m to the SSE. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 20 April 2022

• CL016-020033 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  On a slight rise at the base of a S-facing slope, c. 20m to the E of a N-S running road; within a field system (CL009-059001-). A circular grass-covered cairn (base dims. 15.5m N-S; 15.4m E-W; H. 1.4-1.6m); a spread of moss-covered stones on top of it appears to be field-clearance material (diam. 4.7m-6m) that was subsequently added. The cairn was retained by a kerb (11.8m N-S; 10.8m E-W) and a number of kerbstones, visible c. 2m from its outer limits, protrude intermittently from the grass cover between NW and ENE, and particularly between SE and SW where a line of eight or nine stones is visible. A large stone (dims. L 1.2m; Wth 0.9m; H 0.9m) projects from the base at W and three others stones project from it between NE and ESE. A number of old grassed-over field walls extend off the cairn at W and N and some clearance cairns are visible in its vicinity. A hut site (CL016-020034-) is located c. 30m to the SSE.
