Recorded monuments

• CL016-067 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the S-facing slopes of the N shore of Lickeen Lough in an area of uncleared rough grazing with good views to the S but overlooked by higher ground elsewhere. Hachured on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). An oval area (44m N-S; 39.5m E-W) defined from N to S by a low scarp (max. H 0.2m) and from S to N by an inner bank, a berm and an outer bank. The inner bank is best preserved at its N and S extents (Wth c. 2m; H 0.2m) and is reduced to a scarp elsewhere. The berm (Wth 3.5m) is widest at NNW. The outer bank (Wth 2.5m; H 0.4m) is best preserved at SW and N and has been dug away at NW. At N there is a potential causeway, the E part of which has been truncated by a field boundary. The interior slopes gently to the S and two parallel field boundaries orientated N-S form a narrow field (Wth 3-7m), planted with trees.

• CL016-068 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  Near the top of a low hill, in unreclaimed pasture, on the S-facing slope of an oval hillock (c. 40m E-W; 20m N-S) which is likely natural and overlooking Lickeen Lough to the S. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘ring-barrow (possible)’ in the RMP (1996). A subcircular mound of earth and shale (L 9.9m E-W; Wth 8m N-S) which varies in height (0.25-1.5m). A hole has been dug in the centre (D 2m) and is now overgrown with brambles. A curving channel (Wth 1m) has been dug at SE towards the road potentially to provide access to the interior and the road has truncated the edge of the barrow at S.

• CL016-070 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Near the summit of a hill, on a NNE-facing slope in an area of marginal and boggy pasture with traces of boreens, structures and lazy-beds all around and with good views in all directions. Hachured on the 1840 OS 6-inch map and partially hachured on the 1916 ed. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A subcircular rath (31.2m E-W; 30m N-S) defined by a faint scarp and a fosse (Wth 2-2.4m; D 0.4-0.6m). The scarp has been removed in the E and is lowered to field level in the NE where there may be an entrance (Wth 6m). The interior slopes to the N and is overgrown with reeds with visible lazy-beds in the W quadrant. Earthen field boundaries in the E and S give the false impression of an outer bank.

• CL016-071 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the steep N-facing slope of a hill in undrained marginal land with coarse pasture and good views to the N but overlooked by higher ground elsewhere. Hachured and named ’Lickeen Fort’ on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A circular area (diam. 31m) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.1m) or scarp and an external fosse. The bank is best preserved at E and S (Wth 6m at base) but has been reduced at W (Wth 2.5m; H 0.5m) and only a scarp (H 0.5m) remains at N. Multiple cattle gaps (Wth 0.5-0.7m) cross the bank. A lowering of the bank (L 8m) at E may be an original entrance. The fosse is flat-bottomed and is best preserved at E and S (Wth 3.9m at base; Wth 7m at top; D 0.6-1.2m) It has been reduced to a scarp at W and N (H 0.25m). The overgrown interior slopes steeply and a stone wall oriented N-S cross the E sector. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 25 May 2022
