• CL035-098 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a low rise, in a small, rectangular woodland plot with pasture to the immediate N, E and S and a farmyard abutting to W. A circular area (c. 24.5m N-S; c. 24m E-W) defined by the remains of a collapsed stone wall (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.45m; Wth at top 1.3m; overall Wth 8.05m) which is very broad. A field wall (long-axis NE-SW) appears to be built on top of the enclosing elements SE-S. No obvious entrance could be noted due to dense overgrowth. The interior is very overgrown with mature thorn trees and is largely inaccessible except across a limited portion of the E sector. There is a lot of rock outcrop and loose stones scattered within. Round bales in the farmyard abut the monument at W. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-098----_01.jpg From WNW. General view of monument from farmyard. CL035-098----_02.jpg From ENE.

• CL035-101 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a generally level area on a gentle E-facing slope, in improved pasture. Westropp (1914-16, 67), describes this monument as an ‘earthen fort…with a shallow fosse…’. A circular area (22m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by the remains of a levelled bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.45m; Wth at top 4.2m; overall Wth 11.1m) WNW-SSE and levelled SSE-WSW. The enclosing elements are truncated across the W sector by a tertiary road (long-axis N-S) and across the SW sector by a stone and tree-lined field boundary (long-axis NW-SE). A concrete tank with trackway and field entrance has been built at S-SW. There is no obvious entrance gap. The interior is sunken below the external ground level across the western half. Ringfort (CL035-104----) is located c. 115m to E. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-101----_01.jpg From NE. Cross sectional view of levelled bank at SE. CL035-101----_02.jpg From W.

• CL035-103 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a plateau, at the edge of a gentle SE-facing slope, in improved pasture. Depicted on the OS 25-inch map as a circular area (diam. c. 34m) defined by a broad single enclosing element which is defined on the exterior by a field boundary SW-N. According to Westropp (1914-16, 67), this monument was an ‘earthen fort’. It has been levelled and survives as the traceable remains of a roughly oval area (30m NW-SE; 34m NE-SW) defined by the very low traces of a levelled bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.75m; Wth at top 4m; overall Wth 13.2m). The monument appears to be truncated by a farm road (long-axis NW-SE) across the SW-sector. The interior is gently undulating with a distinct depression in the NE and SE sector. Ringforts (CL035-101---- and CL035-104) are located c. 168m and 190m to NNW and NNE, respectively.

• CL035-104 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle E-facing slope, in improved pasture. Westropp (1914-16, 67) described this monument as an ‘earthen fort’. A circular area (diam. 29m) defined by a steep, short scarp (Wth 3.2m; H 1.2m). The scarp is covered in briars for most part and some trees are present S-N. There are very short portions of bank (int. H max. 0.4m) at SW, W and N but these are very piecemeal and poorly preserved. A possible entrance may exist at ENE where there is a ramp (Wth 3.3m) up into the interior. The ramp appears modern, however it may have used an existing entrance. There are possible traces of a fosse at SW, although this is not conclusive and may represent poaching by cattle in this area which is located between the monument and a field boundary (long-axis NE-SW) c. 2m to SE. The interior is generally level and featureless and is raised (H 1.2m) above the external ground level. Ringforts (CL035-105---- and CL035-101----) are situated c. 62m to N and c. 115m to W, respectively. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-104----_01.jpg From NW.

• CL035-105 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a very gentle E-facing slope, in improved pasture. Westropp (1914-16, 67), described this monument as an ‘earthen fort’. A roughly circular area (28m WNW-ESE; 26m NNE-SSW) defined by a bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2m; Wth at top 0.75m; overall Wth 3.25m) ENE-S and W-WNW and by a scarp (Wth 3.9m; H 0.55m) WNW-ENE. The enclosing elements are truncated by a farm road (long-axis NW-SE) across the SW sector. There is no obvious entrance or fosse. The interior is generally level and featureless. Ringfort (CL035-104----) is c. 62m to S and ringfort (CL035-101----) is c. 115m to W. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-105----_01.jpg From ESE. Cross sectional view of scarp at NNE.

• CL035-108 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved, undulating pasture, adjacent to E of woodland and on a low, distinct rise. It is depicted as a circular enclosure (c. 38m E-W; c. 36m N-S) within an area of rough pasture and rock outcrop on the 1841 OS edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is not depicted upon later OS historic mapping. Not visible at ground level. There is rock outcrop close to the surface on the low rise, where the monument was sited.

• CL035-109 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In gently undulating, ungrazed, dense natural woodland. Depicted on OS historic mapping as a subcircular enclosure (c. 48m NE-SW; 47m NW-SE). The monument is predominantly obscured by blackthorn thickets within the interior and whitethorn around the enclosing elements. A short arc of the enclosing elements are visible at W, otherwise the monument is engulfed by impenetrable vegetation. This arc of collapsed drystone wall (int. H 1.0m; ext. H 0.35m; Wth at top 2.6m; overall Wth 7.8m) is exposed SW-NW and appears to continue into the wilderness of thickets at either end. A drystone field wall (long-axis NW-SE) is located c. 8m to W.

• CL035-110 Enclosure
  Description

  On a generally level area of rock outcrop and mixed woodland. The monument is described by Westropp (1914-16, 66) as ‘…a late ring….in it’s garth….is a circular house-site…’. Indicated on OS historic mapping as a circular enclosure incorporating a field boundary NW-NE. A circular area (18m N-S; 19m E-W) defined by the remains of a collapsed drystone wall (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m; Wth at top 1.7m; overall Wth 4.0m) consisting of quite large, rounded and completely moss-covered stones. There is no obvious entrance. The interior is uneven due to loose moss-covered stones scattered intermittently amongst quite a dense cover of Beech trees. A concentration of stones off-centre to W may signify an internal structure, however this is obscured by a thicket of small trees and dead branches and it is not possible to clarify the nature or extent of this feature. A later drystone field wall (long-axis WSW-ENE), built of more angular stone and of different construction, is situated on top of the enclosing elements NW-N-NE.

• CL035-116 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In gently undulating, dense, natural woodland enclosed by overgrown rough pasture. Indicated by Westropp (1914-16, 67) as a small enclosure which he labelled ‘J’ on his map ‘Gorteen Group of Forts’. He described it as ‘a defaced cathair’. Depicted as an oval enclosure (c. 50m NW-SE; c. 44m NE-SW) on the 25-inch OS map. The enclosing elements consist of a collapsed drystone wall (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.45m; Wth at top 1.2m; overall Wth 5.4m) which is noted in places, between the vegetation. The interior is largely impenetrable. A later drystone field wall (long-axis ENE-WSW) appears to have been constructed on top of the enclosing elements SE-SW. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-116----_01.jpg From SE.

• CL035-117 Enclosure
  Description

  In beech woodland, in a generally level area, amongst a network of field walls. Recorded by Westropp (1914-16, 66) as a small enclosure which he labelled ‘H’ on his map ‘Gorteen Group of Forts’. He describes it as ‘a barely traceable ring’. Depicted on the 25-inch OS map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m). A curvilinear drystone wall at this location (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.5m; Wth at top 1.3m; overall Wth 3.3m) forms an arc (C 20m) WSW-N-NNE and may be the remains of the monument noted by Westropp. The remainder of the possible enclosing elements appear to have been removed. The interior is slightly higher where the enclosing elements survive. A previously unrecorded hut site (CL035-169----) is located c. 18m to SE.

• CL035-118001 Enclosure
  Description

  In deciduous woodland, on a generally level, elevated area overlooking the creek of a meandering stream to E. It is recorded by Westropp (1914-16, 66-67) as the northernmost of two enclosures which he labelled ‘I’ on his map ‘Gorteen Group of Forts’ and he describes it as ‘a levelled ring’. Westropp (ibid.) continues: ‘A small knoll has been cut off from an angle of the low plateau by two trenches at right angles, and levelled and shaped into a flat-topped, oblong platform, 90 feet long, east and west, and 54 feet wide, with a slight fence, 3 feet thick to the west and south, probably once palisaded. On it was a house [CL035-118002-], 60 feet east and west by 30 feet, the wall only a couple of feet high. The fosse to the south and west is 9 feet to 12 feet wide below, and 18 feet to 20 feet above. It is 6 feet deep. About the middle of the southern fosse was a stone causeway leading to a ring-wall [CL035-018003-]. Mr Hough, of Gorteen, tells me that when he was a boy, before the river was deepened, the Earl’s House stood on a shallow lake, and water filled its fosse’. The monument is depicted on the 25-inch OS map as a sub-rectangular area (c. 31m E-W; c. 20m N-S) defined by a bank to W and N and by a scarp to E and S. A structure (CL035-118002-) named ‘Earl’s House’ is depicted on this map as being located off-centre to SW, within the interior. A second enclosure (CL035-018003-) is depicted as adjoining to S. This monument was not seen due to its low profile and the dense overgrowth across this ungrazed and largely inaccessible area.

• CL035-118002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In deciduous woodland, on a generally level, elevated area overlooking the creek of a meandering stream to E. Recorded by Westropp (1914-16, 66-67) as being a rectangular structure named ‘Earl’s House’ and located within a rectangular enclosure (CL035-118001-), which adjoined a second enclosure (CL035-118003-) to S. The complex is labelled 'I’ on Westropp’s map named ‘Gorteen Group of Forts’ (ibid.). He describes it as, ‘a house, 60 feet east and west by 30 feet, the wall only a couple of feet high’ which was located upon ‘an oblong, flat-topped platform’ within enclosure (CL035-018001-) (ibid.). It is depicted and named as ‘Earl’s House (in ruins)’ on OS historic mapping. It is depicted on the 25-inch OS map as a rectangular area (c. 16m E-W; c. 6.7m N-S) located off-centre to SW, within the interior of an enclosure (CL035-118001-). The 100 foot contour appears to skirt around the monument N-E-SW, where the house would have been located on higher ground. According to Westropp (1914-16, 66), the precise origins of the name ‘Earl’s House’ are unknown, however he suggests it may be associated with an Earl of Thomond or a Red Earl such as De Burgo. This monument was not seen due to its low profile and the dense overgrowth of vegetation and trees across this ungrazed and largely inaccessible area.

• CL035-118003 Enclosure
  Description

  In deciduous woodland, on a generally level, elevated area overlooking the creek of a meandering stream to E. Recorded by Westropp (1914-16, 66-7) as the southernmost of two enclosures which he labelled ‘I’ on his map ‘Gorteen Group of Forts’ and described as ‘a levelled ring’. Westropp (ibid.) continues: ‘About the middle of the southern fosse [of enclosure CL035-018001-] was a stone causeway leading to a ring-wall [CL035-018003-], now greatly levelled. The cathair is 98 feet across the garth. The wall is perfect round the craggy platform to the north-east. It is of rather poor coursed dry-stone masonry, and 4 feet to 5 feet high…..it seems from 6 feet to 10 feet thick. There were late cabins in the garth…..they are now nearly effaced’. This monument is depicted on the 25-inch OS map as a sub-circular area (c. 30m E-W; c. 29m N-S) located immediately S of enclosure (CL035-118001-). The enclosing elements (where seen), were defined by a collapsed drystone wall (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m; Wth at top 1m; overall Wth 5.9m) which was visible only SE-S and NNW-NNE due to dense, impenetrable overgrowth. A fosse (Wth c. 3-5m; D c. 1.2m) is located to N, between this and enclosure (CL035-118001-). The interior appears generally level but is mostly obscured by vegetation. The 100 foot contour skirts around the monument N-E-S, being located on higher ground overlooking the stream to E. A limekiln which is depicted on the 25-inch OS map at SSE-S was noted as a depression. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-118003-_01.jpg From S. Oblique cross-sectional view of bank at S.
