  Description

  On a gentle W-facing slope overlooked by a medieval church (CL002-014002-), c. 300m to NW. Indicated as a rectangular enclosure by a dashed line and named ‘Killoghil graveyard’ on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and hachured as a rectangular enclosure with two parallel elements extending to the north and named ‘Killoghil Grave Yard (Disused)’ on the 1915 ed. Listed as ‘Graveyard’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A roughly square enclosure (Wth 30m) defined by a low bank (Wth 2.2–5m; H 0.2–0.8m) with no trace of gravemarkers. A trackway (CL002-059002-) extending N from the N side. Swan (1991, 114–15) recorded a church at this location, but there are no visible remnants and it seems likely he was referring to the one at Bishopsquarter (CL002-014002-). Ringforts are located c. 160m to the NW (CL002-015----), c. 250m to the ENE (CL002-061----) and c. 250m to the S (CL002-060----).

• CL002-059002 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  On a gentle W-facing slope overlooked by a medieval church (CL002-014002-), c. 250m to NW. Indicated as part of a rectangular enclosure by a dashed line and named ‘Killoghil graveyard’ on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and hachured as two parallel elements extending N from a rectangular enclosure named ‘Killoghil Grave Yard (Disused)’ on the 1915 ed. Not previously listed in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A road/trackway visible as a slightly curvilinear berm (L c. 55m; Wth 13.4m) defined to the W by a bank (Wth 2m; H 0.4m) on the upper break of slope of a W-facing slope and to the east by a W-facing slope, extending N from the site of the rectangular enclosure surrounding the site of Killoghil graveyard (CL002-059----). It runs to the townland boundary, with Bishopsquarter townland, beyond which it is not traceable but presumably once continued. Ringforts are located c. 110m to the NW (CL002-015----), c. 300m to the ENE (CL002-061----) and c. 300m to the S (CL002-060----), and a medieval church (CL002-014002-) and associated remains are located c. 250m NW.

• CL002-081 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In pasture, located adjacent to a spring on a rocky terrace on the NW-facing slope of Moneen Mountain. At the N edge of the terrace, 5m to N of the fulacht fia, the ground drops to a lower, narrower terrace. Crescent-shaped, sod-covered mound (c. 10-12m N–S; c. 5-6m E–W; H c. 0.7, 1m at W) composed of a dense concentration of small, limestone fragments in a matrix of dark, charcoal-rich soil. On the E side there is a shallow depression (2m E-W; 1-2m N–S), indicating the location of the trough. It faces an area of wet ground fed by the spring, which rises 6m to SE in a jumble of rocks at the base of the cliff. Located c. 2.5m E of the fulacht fia, there is a low, sod-covered rise of brown soil with an area of darker soil and stone fragments on its NE edge. It was not possible to determine the limits or nature of this deposit. It is possible that it is associated with the activities at the fulacht fia.
