• CL035-073 Enclosure
  Description

  On a W-facing slope, in improved pasture. Depicted and named ‘Liscullaun’ on the OS 25-inch map and the 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map. An oval area (28m E-W; 18m N-S) defined by an intermittent, low profile bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.2m; Wth at top 0.5m; overall Wth 2.7m) NE-ENE and SE-S; scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.5m) NNW-N. Enclosing elements not seen at NW and S-SW due to impenetrable vegetation. Beech and thorn trees growing on top of the enclosing elements and some have been uprooted due to storm damage. There is a possible entrance at E, where there is no bank or scarp and the interior is level with the external ground surface. A fosse (overall Wth 2.9m; basal Wth 0.7m; D 0.15m) is evident SE-S only. The interior has a gentle W-facing slope and there is a dense clump of briars across the W-sector, which is growing into the centre of monument.

• CL035-074 Enclosure
  Description

  In low-lying, very rushy pasture, on an E-facing slope with limited views, except to E, where there is a distant view of mountains. Listed as 'Potential Site Air Photo' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Not depicted on any OS historic mapping. Identified as a faint oval cropmark (31m NW-SE; 26m NE-SW) on a high altitude Geological Survey aerial photograph (GSIAP, R 107). A possible subcircular cropmark is visible on Ordnance Survey aerial photography (2010). This is a uniform slope and there is no obvious definition evident at ground level to suggest an extant enclosure at this location. The entire field, except for a farming driveline, is covered in rushes (H c. 0.5m). Not known of locally. Compiled by: Mary Tunney, Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 9 January 2019

• CL035-075 Enclosure
  Description

  On an ENE-facing slope, in improved pasture with good views of the surrounding landscape N-E-S. The monument is depicted on the 1840 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (c. 25m N-S; c. 23m E-W) defined by a bank which appears to be open at W. This enclosure is barely perceptible at ground level. The faint traces of an oval area (20m N-S; 18m E-W) are defined by the remains of a levelled scarp (Wth 7m; H 0.6m) ENE-S-WNW which is most pronounced at E and is almost completely levelled WNW-N-ENE. There is no trace of a fosse at ground level, however aerial photograph may show a trace. The interior has a gentle ENE-facing slope. The levelled remains of this monument have been incorporated into the surrounding field as pasture. An electric field fence (long-axis E-W) traverses the monument off-centre to N. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-075----_01.jpg From N. General view of monument (2m rod either side). CL035-075----_02.jpg From S. Cross-sectional view of levelled scarp at E.

• CL035-146 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  On top of a knoll, in rough pasture, with land sloping down steeply to NW and NE. There are reasonable views of the surrounding landscape including mountains in the distance to E. This wedge tomb is not depicted on any of the OS historic mapping. It was identified during a survey carried out for the East Clare Community Co-Op, Scarriff (Paul Walsh OSi pers. comm., 1995). The monument consists of a raised, rectangular area (2.5m E-W; 2m N-S) enclosed by three prostrate stones set upright and defining the S side (L 1.55m; T 0.35m; H 0.6m), W side (L 1.5m; T 0.3m; H 0.8m) and N side (L 1.3m; T 0.25m; H 0.65m). The monument is open to E. The stones to S and N are slanting to S and that to W is slanting to W. Other components of the monument may be sod covered within the raised interior (H 0.5m). A large boulder (L 1.3m; T 0.9m; H 0.45m) is located c. 6m to NE and may have formed part of the monument. A substantial stone (L 1.9m; Wth 1.35m; T 0.6m) which is located on top of the field boundary, c. 34m to WSW, may also have formed part of the monument, potentially as a capstone, being of the same type of weathered limestone.
