• CL017-032 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On the gentle S-facing slope of a low NE-SW ridge in undulating pasture. Hachured on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map, and indicated on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and the Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). When inspected in 1999, the remains of this subcircular cashel (diam. c. 40m) survived as a c. 40m-long arc of overgrown, double-faced wall (Wth 1.5m; H 0.8-1m) visible SE-S-SW, with collapsed stone tumble at the base of its inner face. Subsequent satellite imagery (e.g. MapGenie 2004-2006) indicates that this last upstanding section of cashel wall was subsequently levelled. However, its full grass-covered enclosing line is clearly visible on Google Earth imagery (16-1-2011) and subsurface features are likely to survive intact.

• CL017-038 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a rise in undulating pasture. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This overgrown and partly damaged small circular cashel (int. dims. 20.4m N-S; 19m E-W) is defined from W-N by a stony bank (Wth 5m; H 1.5m) which appears to be partly composed of modern spoil from field-clearance activity, with many boulders piled on it. From N-E, the cashel is defined by a low bank (Wth 3m; H 0.3-0.5m) with some stone on it, including some larger field stones. From E-S-W, the cashel wall has been rebuilt as a loose drystone wall (Wth 2m; H 1m). Field walls recorded on OS mapping radiating E, SW and W from the cashel perimeter have been removed and there is a field-clearance cairn just to the E.

• CL017-039 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In pasture at the N edge of a plateau overlooking Ilaungarve Turlough to the N. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This poorly preserved, mostly tree-covered and partly damaged circular cashel (26.8m E-W; 26.7m N-S) is defined from S-W-NE by the remains of a stone wall, comprising facing-stones (mostly the outer wall-face) within a narrow spread of collapsed stone. From W-N-NE, these stones have spilled (Wth 6m) down the slope outside the monument. From S-W, field-clearance stones have been deposited on the edge of the cashel. From W-NE, larger field stones have been pushed onto the perimeter and from NE-E-S a later drystone wall (Wth 0.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) is built on the earlier enclosure line. In 2014, archaeological monitoring of topsoil-stripping c. 98m to the E did not uncover any archaeological remains (Taylor 2014).

• CL017-042 Enclosure
  Description

  On a broad E-W ridge in pasture. Hachured on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map which records a circular enclosure (est. diam. c. 30m), possibly a ringfort. When inspected in 1999, no surface traces were visible, however subsurface archaeological deposits may survive undisturbed. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 20 July 2023
