- CL009-059002 Enclosure
Description
In undulating pastureland within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Listed as ‘Potential site – aerial photo’ in the RMP (1996), this record relates to a possible enclosure that was noted on a high-level Geological Survey of Ireland aerial photograph (GSI R151/152). On inspection in July 1997 it was not visible at ground level. However, a roughly circular feature (diam. c. 30m) visible on more recent aerial imagery dated 2005 (OSi Ortho_ITM) may be it. Archaeological testing carried out c. 35m to the NE of the site, in relation to the extension of a house, identified no archaeological remains (Delaney 2009, 26, No. 101). A cashel (CL009-059003-) lies c. 75m to the NE and another one (CL009-097----) lies c. 170m to the WSW. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 1 March 2022
- CL009-095 Ringfort - cashel
Description
On gently undulating ground in rough pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Described by Westropp (1915, 263) as ‘the lowest courses of a well built ring wall … of excellent masonry.’ This very poorly preserved subcircular cashel (int. dims. 24.5m E-W; 23m N-S) is defined by a double-faced stone wall (Wth 2m; int. H 0.15-0.3m; ext. H 0.2-0.4m) from ENE to ESE, a low scarp (H 0.4m) from ESE to W, and a low grassed-over stone spread (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.2m) from W to ENE. Inner wall-facing is visible between W and NW. A series of narrow terraces (Wth c. 2m; H c. 0.5m) to the SW of the cashel are the result of quarrying.

- CL016-153001 Enclosure
Description
Near the top of a gentle SE-facing slope in rough pasture and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Depicted on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as roughly rectangular enclosed mixed tree copse. A slightly raised D-shaped platform (dims. 21.8m E-W; 18.1m N-S; H 0.2-0.4m; max H 1.2m) with a jagged side at W, which is probably the result of quarrying. The edge of the platform is defined by stone that may be naturally occurring fractured bedrock. The grass-covered interior is flush with the perimeter. Possibly an enclosure. A cashel (CL016-153002-) lies c. 44m to the SSE. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 8 August 2022
- CL016-153002 Ringfort - cashel
Description
On a slight E-facing slope in pasture and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). A circular enclosure (int. dims. 22.2m N-S; 18.6m E-W) defined by slight stony rise (Wth 1.4-4.2m; int. H 0.1-0.4m; ext. H 0.1-0.8m). Inner and outer facing-stones are visible at N and S. There is no trace of an entrance or fosse. A roughly triangular-shaped mound (11m N-S; max. Wth 4.8m E-W; H 0.3m), widening from N to S, is visible in the E half of the grass-covered interior. Possibly a cashel. A possible enclosure lies c. 44m to the NNW. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 4 August 2022
- CL016-187 Enclosure
Description
On a S-facing slope in lowlying pasture. A possible square enclosure (c. 25m square) defined by a bank visible on OSi Aerial Premium. A field boundary defines the E side. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 21 March 2022
