- CO024-106002 Souterrain
Description
In centre of levelled ringfort (CO024-10601-). Discovered in 1962 during levelling of fort when roof of chamber was penetrated. Excavated in 1972 prior to backfilling (Twohig 1976, 19-23); access gained through opening made in 1962. Single, roughly rectangular stone-built chamber (L 3.6m; Wth 1.5m; H 1.4m; long axis E-W); walls corbelled; roofed with lintels. Ventilation shaft (L 1.9m; Wth 0.3m; H 0.2m) sloped up from NW corner of chamber, at roof level, to surface; stone-lined and roofed with flat stones. Creepway (L 1m; Wth 0.5m; H 0.4m) from E end of chamber to entrance shaft; stone-faced; roofed with two lintels. Rectangular entrance shaft (L 2m; Wth 0.5m; long axis NW-SE); floor 2.2m below ground level; lower 1.1m of walls stone-built; upper parts earth-cut; unroofed. Excavation showed that souterrain was constructed as free-standing structure within rectangular pit (L 6.5m; Wth 2.5m; D 2.5m). Space between souterrain and sides of pit was later backfilled. Fill from excavation of entrance shaft produced large quantity of animal bones and charcoal. Excavator suggested that souterrain became disused and was infilled while ringfort was still occupied though exact relationship between souterrain and ringfort could not be determined without further excavation. Shallow trench (Wth 0.2m; D 0.3m) overlying fill of entrance shaft was excavated for a distance of 2m. Excavator suggested that this may be foundation trench of house. No visible surface trace.

- CO024-109001 Castle - tower house
Description
On W side of Ketragh River glen. Fragmentary remains of rectangular bawn (c. 42m N-S; c. 38m E-W) and much-ruined central tower. Bawn and area immediately to W occupied by farmyard; 2-storey residential farm-house, immediately NE of tower, now abandoned. Only SE corner of tower now stands to full height, otherwise largely reduced to overgrown pile of rubble. Externally corner takes form of D-shaped extension to S end of E wall of tower; internally this space is circular (diam. 2.15m) and once contained spiral wooden stairs which gave access to all four main floors of tower via doors with stone surrounds: lintelled at ground- and 3rd-floor levels; with pointed arch at 1st-and 2nd-floor levels. On top of a outside of wall is continuous machicolation carried on ten corbels. Short section of south wall of main block survives (L 2.2m); it breaks off at line of window embrasures; this wall stands to full height and is capped by shallow cornice. East wall much more broken down but runs 4.1m to NE corner where short return (L 2.2m) of N wall survives. Early photograph (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 2, opp. 108) shows more of N wall standing, including lower part of NW corner, and broken vault over main ground-floor chamber. Nineteenth-century pamphlet described the castle as '56 feet high, flanked with one round tower, with a battery' (ibid., 118). Best preserved section of bawn wall is N side, running c. 20m from NE corner. This contains some plain blocked-up window lights and one rectangular light with mullion and hood moulding. Eastern-most section of this wall, and adjacent length of E wall, formed side and end walls of 2-storey 18th-century house; this house superseded by 2-storey gable-ended farm building which incorporates N end of former house. South section of E bawn wall and E section of S bawn wall largely reduced to foundation level. Low section of bawn wall (H c. 3m) in SW corner formed end (S) and side (W) walls of 1-storey farm building which is now otherwise removed; only intact feature appears to be much-ruined window embrasure in W section of wall. Another 1-storey farm building in NW corner of bawn may incorporate part of bawn wall in its side (W) and end (N) walls but no original features noted; on E side of latter wall is short low rough section of walling which is separated from first-mentioned section of bawn by gap which forms present entrance into farmyard. Castle of the Magner family, followers and tenants of the Barrys (MacCotter and Nicholls 1996, 211); forfeited in mid-17th century and granted to Brettridge (Grove White 1905-25, 2, 120).
