On a slight S-facing slope in the central Burren uplands. An irregular field system (c. 940m N-S; c. 350m E-W) associated with cashels (CL009-022004- and CL009-022005-) and enclosures (CL009-022002-, CL009-022003-, CL009-022008- and CL009-022010-) and visible on Digital Globe (2011-13) and on OSi Aerial Premium orthophotographs (2012-2018). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 31 August 2021 - CL009-022002: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL009-022002-. Situated on a shelf of rock outcrop in an area of scrub. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Visible on a high altitude aerial photograph (HSL 9218/9). On inspection in 1997 this was found to be a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a drystone wall (H 1m). There was no evidence of stone facing or spread from an older wall.

Situated on relatively low ground on grass-covered limestone pavement. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Visible on a high altitude aerial photograph (HSL 9218/9). On inspection in 1997 this was found to be a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) defined by a drystone wall (H c. 1.2m). There was no evidence of stone facing or spread from an older wall. The gable of a 19th-century house is just to the NW and the enclosure is probably of similar date.

Situated in the centre of an enclosure (CL009-022008-), in rough pasture within a relict field system (CL009-022001-). On the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map there is a label ‘Caves’ adjacent to this location. Listed as ‘Souterrain (possible)’ in the RMP (1996). This L-shaped terminal section of a souterrain extends SW–NE (L 4.6m) before turning N (L 3.7m) and terminating in a rounded/pointed end. In the N–S section (Wth 0.8m; H 0.9–1.2m) the roof is intact, with lintels rising over the external ground surface, noted by Bowmer (2019, 79, Note 8) as a relatively unusual feature of rectilinear enclosures in the Burren. Rocks are visible at the base, and there is no corbelling. In the NE–SW section (Wth c. 1.2m; possible max. D 1m) the lintels have fallen into the passage. The continuation of the souterrain to the SW is blocked by a fallen stone and is not visible on the surface. A hut site (CL009-022009-) lies c. 13m to the SE within the same enclosure (CL009-022008-). Another souterrain (CL009-022007-) lies c. 23m to the SSW, in an adjoining enclosure (CL009-022010-).

Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 17 November 2021 - CL009-022007: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL009-022007-. Situated in the NW part of the interior of an enclosure (CL009-022010-), in rough pasture in a relict field system (CL009-022001-). Named ‘Caves’ on the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, this is one of two souterrains (see also CL009-022006-, which lies c. 23m to the NNE in an adjoining enclosure (CL009-022008-)). This souterrain (total L c. 21m; Wth 1–1.85m; H 0.6–1.57m) consists of two drystone-built passages linked by a chamber. The N passage (L 8.2m; Wth 1.2–1.55; max. H 1.6m) is oriented E–W but its E end (L 2m; Wth 1.4m) changes direction and runs NE–SW, under the remains of the wall between enclosures. Access is gained at the NE end of this part of the passage which is filled with rubble; a possible step is visible in the S corner of this section, suggesting that a series of steps lead down to the E-W part of the passage. Only four lintels are in place over the latter section. The side-walls slope in towards the top. The back wall at the W end is curved and this area is partly blocked by stones and briars. Half-way along the S side of the passage a lintelled ope/creep (Wth 1.1m; H 0.9m; D 0.5m), across the base of which there is a drystone wall (H 0.3m), leads to a N–S-oriented chamber (L 6.7m; Wth 1.85m; H 1.57m). Immediately to the S of the ope/creep, the W wall of the chamber curves to the SW (L c. 1.5m) before re-orienting to the S, while the E wall is straight. It is roofed with ten lintels. No corbels are visible on top of the side-walls but, again, they slope in towards the top. The chamber is very clean, with a clay floor. At its S end there is another lintelled ope (Wth 0.9m; H 1m) that leads to the 2nd passage (Wth 1m; min. H 1m) which is largely destroyed, with several roof lintels missing or fallen into the passage. This passage runs SW (L 2m), then S (L 2m), then SE (min. L 2m), but here only the E side is visible. There may have been an entrance to the souterrain here but it is not extant.

On the broad open plain of the Burren within a field system (CL009-022001-). A rectangular enclosure (c. 40m N-S; c. 37m E-W) defined by an insubstantial drystone wall with no evidence of more substantial foundations. A souterrain (CL009-022006-) occupies the centre and there is a hut site (CL009-022009-) in the SE quadrant. Another enclosure (CL009-022010-) is adjoining at S with a second souterrain in its NW corner.

Situated in the SE quadrant of a rectangular enclosure CL009-022008-, some 20m S of a souterrain that occupies the centre of the enclosure. A rectangular area (int. dims. 5m E-W; 3.8m N-S) defined by a moss-covered spread of stones (Wth 1m; max. H 0.5m). There is an entrance (Wth 1m) at the W end of the S side.

Subrectangular enclosure (c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by drystone walls (Wth 1m; H1.5m) and adjoining a similar rectangular enclosure (CL009-022008-) to the N. Both lie within a field system (CL009-022001-). A souterrain (CL009-022007-) occupies the NW corner and a second souterrain (CL009-022006-) lies within the enclosure to the N.

On a plateau in rough pasture, within a multiperiod field system (CL009-022001-), with higher ground c. 50m to the W and limited views from N to E. A NNE-SSW running road lies c. 113m to the E. Depicted on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly square-shaped enclosure (c. 15m N–S; c. 15m E–W) named ‘Lisnanroum’. On the 1897 OS 25-inch plan it is shown as a being subrectangular in plan (c. 19m N–S; c. 10m E–W), abutting the N side of a sheepfold. It is simply named ‘Lisnanroum (Site of)' on the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This may be the location of an earthen/stone fort noted in the Ordnance Survey Letters (Comber 1997, 78) as ‘Lismandrum’. However, no visible surface trace of it survives. The sheepfold shown on the 25-inch plan is still extant.
