Recorded monuments

• CL027-019001 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  On generally level ground, in a small haggard, in the angle between a walled garden (long-axis N-S) to E and an outbuilding (long-axis E-W) to S. Reasonable views to W and N, over slightly lower ground, yet limited to E and S due to upstanding structures. Depicted and named ‘Cromlech’ on all OS historic mapping. The monument appears to have been constructed on a pavement of limestone, which is situated c. 0.2m above the external ground level. A well-preserved wedge tomb (6m NE-SW; 4m NW-SE) open to SW. The monument is defined by three upright in-situ orthostats to NW and what appear to be three upright orthostats to SE, of which the two to the rear seem slightly displaced and largely obscured by dense briars. A large in-situ capstone covers the rear of the tomb. Its weight is borne on the rear sidestone to NW and SE. Across the centre and front of the tomb, a substantial displaced capstone has fallen inwards and is almost upright. Its weight appears to have been borne on the two central sidestones to NW and SE. Together the four central and rear sidestones taper to form the wedge shape of the tomb, as can be seen clearly in the NW elevation. The third sidestone on either side (to front of tomb) no longer bears the weight of the capstone. These two frontal sidestones are both quite low in height and have either sunken or may be broken, with that to SE protruding just above ground level. A large stone at the SW end of the NW side may also be displaced or may be part of an external layer of sidestones that no longer survive. An earthfast orthostat on the exterior of the SE side may also have formed part of an outer layer of orthostats. A large backstone is located in the centre at the NE end of the monument and the underside of rear capstone partially rests on it. There is some loose stone within the interior and it is otherwise obscured by vegetation. See De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1961 (attached) for plans and detailed measurements.

• CL027-020 Children's burial ground
  Description

  On a gentle W-facing slope, in the NW corner of an improved pasture field, enclosed by mature beech trees of the former Tyredagh estate, affording limited views of a gently undulating landscape. Listed as 'Burial Ground' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). The monument is depicted and named ‘Tyredagh Burial Ground for Children’ on the 1842 OS 6-inch map and as ‘Tyredagh Children’s Burial Ground’ on the 1920 OS 6-inch map. It consists of a D-shaped area (18m E-W; 13m N-S) defined by a low earthen and stone scarp (Wth 0.4m; H 0.2m) E-W. The scarp (Wth 0.5m; H 0.4m) is best preserved S-W, on the downslope where it compensates for the hillslope. The monument is defined to N by an earthen field boundary (long axis E-W). This boundary is along the tertiary road where there are a set of steps (H c. 2m) built into its exterior elevation, leading from the road to the interior of the burial ground. The interior is covered in low, uninscribed, moss-covered gravemarkers (H 0.4m). Some of these are slightly higher and more obvious than others and are notably E-facing. Some trees define the edge of the burial ground and occasional trees grow within the interior. The following images have been uploaded: CL027-020----_01.jpg From E. General view of monument.

• CL027-021 Standing stone
  Description

  On a very gentle SW-facing slope, in improved pasture, with reasonable views of landscape SE-WNW. Depicted as an upright stone on the 1842 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a small circle on the OS 25-inch map. Described by Westropp (1917, 11) as a pillar stone. This is a very tall and slender upright stone (H 2.9m; max. T 0.13m at base) with a roughly rectangular elevation to E and W (max. Wth 0.8m at base) which becomes slightly narrower towards the top of the stone, where there is a small rounded point. The E and W elevations have deep oval and irregular solution marks. The ground around the base of the stone forms a slight depression, where it is slightly worn by livestock. A standing stone (CL027-049----) is located c. 90m to SE. The following images have been uploaded: CL027-021----_01.jpg E-facing elevation. CL027-021----_02.jpg S-facing elevation; dwelling house in background. CL027-021----_03.jpg W-facing elevation.

• CL027-022 Enclosure
  Description

  On a low, yet distinct plateau (long-axis NW-SE), in improved pasture. This feature is depicted on the 1842 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular coppice of trees (51m N-S; 48m E-W) defined by a perforated line. It is described by Westropp (1917, 11) as a ‘small earthen ring, possibly sepulchral’. This field has been much improved and the top of the naturally formed plateau has been levelled out. There is little trace of an enclosure, except the arc of a low scarp (Wth 3.4m; H 0.7m) SE-S. This may be a result of material from the ‘earthen ring’ which has been levelled out downslope. The following images have been uploaded: CL027-022----_01.jpg From ESE. General view across top of plateau; standing stone (CL027-021----) in background. CL027-022----_02.jpg From NE.

• CL027-049 Standing stone
  Description

  On a S-facing slope, in improved pasture, overlooking low-lying ground E-WNW, where there are moderate views. Not depicted on any OS historic mapping. A former standing stone which is now lying prostrate (L 2.3m) within a slight depression. Identified in 2004 when the stone is recorded as being upright (SMR file). When standing, it was recorded as 2.04m in height indicating that the depth of the subsurface base was 0.26m, which is relatively shallow for a stone of this height and thickness (T 0.12m at base; T 0.10m at top). It is a very irregular shaped stone in elevation (Max. Wth at base 0.9m; min. Wth at top 0.21m) and the surface has natural solution marks. Some green mosses are noted at the base suggesting it fell not long after it was recorded in 2004. According to local information it fell of its own accord a number of years ago. It would appear that it is likely to have become loose due to a combination of cattle poaching and scratching. The following images have been uploaded: CL027-049----_01 From E.
