• CL009-030002 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated at the S edge of a plateau in a karst area with grass cover. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Visible on a high altitude aerial photograph (HSL 9102/03). On inspection in 1998 this was found to be a circular enclosure (ext. diam. 25.3m E-W; 25.2m N-S) defined by the remnants of a drystone wall with large gaps. From WSW to SE only the basal stones of the wall survive with the long axes pointing in towards the centre. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 16 February 2016

• CL009-030003 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  At a high point on a plateau with land sloping most steeply to E, in rough pasture on karst pavement under thin grass cover. Within a multiperiod field system (CL009-255----). Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This large subcircular cashel (int. dims. 49m N–S; 46.9m E–W; ext. dims. 55.2m E–W; 54.9m N–S) is defined by a low, grass-covered, double-faced wall (Wth 1.9–3.3m; int. H 0.4–0.8m; ext. H 0.7–0.8m). Westropp (1917, 74) noted that this wall was built of very coarse thin slabs, and had been reduced to its footings. The interior is slightly concave. The cashel entrance (int. Wth 1m; ext. Wth 1.2m) is at NW and comprises a passage lined on each side by two large stones. An upright stone (H 1.1m; L 0.4m; Wth 0.15m) stands at the S side of the entrance exterior. There is a small subrectangular hut site (CL009-030020-) W of centre. A later drystone wall (Wth 0.8m; H 1.2) is built over the outer wall-face from NW to S. A cairn (CL009-030015-) lies c. 20m to the ESE, an enclosure (CL009-030002-) lies c. 58m to the SSW and a cashel (CL009-030004-) lies c. 160m to the SE.

• CL009-030004 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On E-facing slope with views E–S, in rough pasture within a multiperiod field system (CL009-255----). Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This small suboval cashel (int. dims. 17.6m N–S; 15.7m E–W; ext. dims. 22.1m N–S; 21.1m E–W) is defined by a wall (est. Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.2–0.6m; ext. H 0.4–0.8m), the outer face of which is visible almost all around. A later N–S drystone wall (Wth 0.6m; H c. 1m) is built over and may have damaged the E perimeter. An enclosure (CL009-030006-) lies c. 60m to SSE and 'Caherlisnanroum' (CL009-030005-) lies c. 104m to S. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 4 January 2022

• CL009-030015 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a knoll at the E edge of a plateau. A loose cairn of stones (diam. c. 5m; H 0.7m) with no distinguishing features. This is most likely a clearance cairn. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 23 February 2016

• CL009-030020 Hut site
  Description

  Situated to W of centre within a cashel (CL009-030003-). A small hut site (int. dims. 2m E–W, 1.4m N–S). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 4 January 2022

• CL009-033 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  On a saddle with land sloping gently down to N and S, in improved pasture. Listed as ‘Ring-barrow group’ in the RMP (1996). In 1986, at least one ring-barrow was identified at this location and described as a raised circular area (total diam. c. 27m) enclosed by a fosse and an outer bank (SMR file). A feature is visible at the location in Geological Survey of Ireland aerial photographs (GSIAP R 12, 13; original photograph HSL 9102/03). However, no remains were visible at ground level when inspected in 1998.   Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott   Date of upload: 30-9-2025

• CL009-168001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a plateau of limestone with a thin grass cover, and a ravine c. 50m to the W. Within a multiperiod field system (CL009-255----). This square cashel (int. dims. 32.3m NE-SW; 32.2m NW-SE) is defined by a stone wall (Wth c. 1.4m; int. H 0.4-0.8m; ext. H 0.5m). The outer wall-face of large horizontally laid stones can be traced nearly all the way around, but the wall is largely obscured by stone spill (total Wth 2-3m). There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.5m) at the NE, defined by two upright stones. A later drystone wall overlies this side of the cashel wall. At SW the cashel wall has been re-built in places as a double-faced wall (Wth c. 1m; max. ext. H 2.5m). The remains of a house (CL009-168002-) lie in the centre of the cashel. Later cells are built in two of the internal corners, one (int. dims. 4m NW-SE; 3.2m NE-SW) in the N corner defined by a double-faced wall and another in the S corner (int. dims. 7m NE-SW; 6m NW-SE; max. H 0.8m) with a curvilinear wall in which stones are laid transversely. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 6 July 2022

• CL009-168002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Situated in the centre of a cashel (CL009-168001-), this rectangular house (6.3m NE-SW; 5.7m NW-SE) is defined by stone walls (Wth 0.5-0.8m; H c. 0.4m). Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 6 July 2022
