Recorded monuments

• CL004-010 Enclosure
  Description

  On level ground at the base of a NW-facing slope. Hachured on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and indicated with a solid line on the 1915 ed. A subrectangular enclosure (int. dims. 20m NW–SE; 15m NE–SW) defined by a drystone wall, incorporating some large erratic boulders and a relict field bank (Wth c. 3–4m; H 0.2m). There is no indication, beyond the 1842 OS 6-inch map, that this is of ancient origin. A shed has been built into the SE end.

• CL004-011 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On the NW slope of a gentle ridge, in good pasture, with good views from the W–N. Hachured on the 1842 and 1915 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (int. dims 29.7m N–S; 21.8m E–W; ext. dims 33.8m N–S; 31.6 E–W) defined by a stony bank (Wth 1.5–2.1m) with outer facing surviving best from S–N (max. H 0.7m). There is no evidence of an original entrance. A bank extending W from NW may be part of a contemporary field system (CL004-102----). A later field wall runs on the edge from NE–SSE and there is a modern pen on the NE–ENE edge. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 17 February 2021

• CL004-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On high pasture with good views to NW–NE and within a field system (CL004-102----). Overlooked and sheltered by rising ground to the SE. Hachured on the 1842 and 1915 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A well-preserved roughly circular cashel (int. diam. 20.3m N–S; 19m E–W) defined by a stone and earth bank (Wth at base 4–5m; int. H 0.15–1.5m) with a flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth 2.8m; D 0.65m) evident only from ENE–SE. Inner facing-stones (H 0.2m) survive along the NE and E sides. A low section of bank to the SW marks the likely site of an entrance. There is an unusual density of ringforts in this part of the Burren. In 1897, Borlase (1897, 65) counted twenty between Derreen West and East and thirty-three on the slope of which they occur (including the NW facing slope of Knockauns Mountain). Westropp (1901, 10–11) reported several of these to be largely levelled and rebuilt as sheep folds but still believed them to be of ancient origin.

• CL004-095 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  On a NW-facing terrace in karst landscape on the NW slopes of Knockaunsmountain with commanding views N-W and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL004-016001-). A roughly circular, collapsed cairn (ext. dims. c. 8m E-W; c. 7.7m N-S) defined by a raised plinth with a possible opening in the NW and possible kerbs located in the SE. A later stone shelter has been built in the NNE extent of the cairn. A cashel (CL004-017----) is located c. 55m to the NNE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 13 June 2022
