• CL014-017 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture on a gentle S-facing slope with wide views over Liscannor Bay to the S. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This subcircular rath (diams. 28m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW) is defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1-3m; int. H 0.1-0.15m; ext. H 0.25-0.4m) which is topped by a modern stone wall from NW-NE-SE. Several piles of field clearance rubble lie along the perimeter of the site at W while at S a bank of rubble stone (Wth 1.6m) suggests that the enclosure may have been a stone cashel, a suggestion supported by the apparent absence of an enclosing fosse.  A livestock track runs through the enclosing element at SE. The interior is slightly dished and, apart from some overgrowth on the perimeter, is generally free of such growth.   Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott    Date of upload: 3-10-2025

• CL014-018 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  On a SE-facing slope in pasture. Listed as ‘Earthwork’ in the RMP (1996) based on an L-shaped area hachured on the OS 25-inch plan (1897). Upon inspection in 1998, this proved to be a relict bend on a disused road that formerly led to a gravel pit.   Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott   Date of upload: 3-10-2025

• CL014-035 Midden
  Description

  Exposed in the eroded SE face of a bluff on the NW of Furreera Bay, most likely during recent winter storms. A discrete lens (max. D at centre 0.5m and tapering off to NE and SW) of limpet shells with occasional periwinkles and mussels extending for 6.45m below a layer of light brown sandy loam (D 0.25m) topped with modern soil cover (D 0.03m). The shell lens was noted during a study of the local geology (pers. comm. Andrew C. Phillips, 3 June 2016) and was described as ‘of loose limpet shells’ extending along the cliff face with several horizontal clasts of sandstone and a sharp contact at its base. The horizontal stones (max. L 0.3m) are at varying levels and there are also occasional larger horizontal slabs (e.g. L 0.6m; T 0.1m). Below the shell layer and distinctly separated is a lens of iron-cemented loam (max. D 0.6m) mimicking the shape of the shell layer (ibid.). Five vertically placed and regularly spaced stones are visible in this layer. Beneath this is some light sandy loam with angular boulders on the bedrock surface.

• CL014-038 Enclosure
  Description

  Visible on Google Earth aerial imagery (16-1-2011) in level pasture c. 25m W of the SW-flowing Ballysteen River. A circular area (est. diam. c. 30m) is defined by traces of a broad (est. Wth. c. 3-5m) low bank, most visible from NE-SE-SW.   Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy based on information supplied by Conn Herriott.   Date of upload: 7-10-2025
