Recorded monuments

• GA104-067 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  In an area of improved pastureland. Marked on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a large roughly circular field (diam. c. 90m) cut by a field wall at NW and SE. The monument, which appeared to be 'an ancient circular enclosure', along with a number of the adjacent field walls, was almost completely bulldozed away in the early 1960s and only two short sections of the ‘thick, tumbled stone rampart-segments’ survived at NW and SE, with ‘only very slight traces’ evident elsewhere (SMR file). No visible surface trace of the wall survives but a slight rise in the field level from NE to SE and again at SW clearly indicates its outline.

• GA104-068 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 218, no. 14) as a very ruinous circular ‘Stone fort’, the wall of which was composed of ‘rocky debris’. No visible surface trace survives.
