• CL035-066 Enclosure
  Description

  On top of a low hillock, in gently undulating and improved pasture. Depicted on all OS historic mapping and named ‘Abbeyhill Fort’. According to Westropp (1908-09, 388-9), ‘local tradition says the MacNamaras began to lay the foundation of the Franciscan Monastery [here], but changed their intention and built at Quinn instead’. A roughly circular area (c. 21m N-S; c. 23.5m E-W) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m; Wth at top 0.5m; overall Wth 2.65m) evident all around. There is a narrow gap (Wth 1m) at W, although there is no clear entrance gap due to much of the bank being obscured by vegetation. The interior is largely inaccessible being obscured by vegetation including a number of fallen mature thorn trees, ivy and briars.

• CL035-067 Enclosure
  Description

  On a conspicuous hill in improved pasture, overlooking an undulating landscape and Lecarrow Lough to SE. A roughly oval area (19m N-S; c. 22m E-W) defined by the remains of a very low bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.6m; Wth at top 1.2m; overall Wth 3.65m) which has been reduced to a scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.35m) for the most part. The enclosing elements are obscured by thorn trees, furze bushes and briars and loose boulders are heaped on them in places. There are no obvious traces of an outer fosse. The interior has a very gentle WNW-facing slope and is covered in vegetation. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-067----_01.jpg From E. General view of monument.

• CL035-069 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On an elevated area, in pasture, overlooked by higher ground to SW, W and NW. Depicted on all OS historic mapping and named ‘Lisduff Fort’ on the OS 25-inch and 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A substantial sub-oval area (c. 35m NW-SE; c. 38m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.5m; Wth at top 0.8m; overall Wth 4.6m) SW-NW which is reduced to a low bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.4m; Wth at top 1.7m; overall Wth 4.75m) NW-NNE. There is a wide gap (Wth 4m) NNE-NE. The monument is defined by a steep scarp (Wth 2m; H 1.1m) NE-SE, where the scarp becomes lower SE-SW. There is a possible fosse (Wth c. 4m; D c. 0.1m) W-NW which is choked with vegetation. Most of the enclosing elements and interior are densely overgrown with thorn trees, briars, rushes and ivy. Only small areas are accessible intermittently within the interior where there are cattle paths, many of which come to a dead end due to fallen trees. The interior has a gentle SE-facing slope and is poached by cattle, where seen. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-069----_01.jpg From W.

• CL035-070 Enclosure
  Description

  On a low-lying gently undulating area, in improved pasture. The monument is overlooked by higher ground W-NE and is overlooking ringfort (CL035-071----) c. 25m to SE. It is depicted on all OS historic mapping and named ‘Knockaclocaun Fort’. It survives as the barely traceable remains of an oval area (32m NW-SE; 26m NE-SW) defined by a levelled bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.15m; Wth at top 4.5m; overall Wth 9.3m) W-NNE. The monument is levelled out with little trace NNE-E. A short trace of a scarp (Wth 4.5m; H 0.45m) is evident E-ESE. The curvilinear field boundary is likely to incorporate the bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.3; Wth at top 0.5m; overall Wth 3.7m) ESE-SW. A short return of a levelled bank extends into the field SW-WSW. A pronounced gap (Wth 9m) WSW-W suggests a possible entrance. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-070----_01.jpg From N. General view of levelled monument; 2m rod either side.

• CL035-071 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a slightly elevated area of a gentle S-facing slope, in improved, gently undulating pasture and overlooking Lecarrow Lough c. 390m to S. Depicted on the OS 25-inch map as an oval area (c. 23 m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a scarp. The monument is engulfed by impenetrable overgrowth of thorn trees thickets and briars, except around the NW arc which is grass covered and defined by a scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.3m). It was not feasible to record any other definition of the enclosing elements due to the dense growth which obscures this monument. There is a naturally formed valley to the immediate E. Enclosure (CL035-070----) is located c. 70m to NW. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-071----_01.jpg From W. General view of monument. CL035-071----_02.jpg From NE. Cross sectional view of scarp at NW. CL035-071----_03.jpg From N. General view of monument. Compiled by: Mary Tunney, Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 10 April 2018
