Recorded monuments

• GA097-091001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In marshy grassland to the NE of a stream. Named ‘St. Fallan’s Wells’ on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map and depicted as a small rectangular structure on the N side of a NE-SW running channel/stream, which flowed into a larger stream to the SW. On the 1838 edition of the map, the rectangular structure is shown but the name ‘St. Faelan’s Wells’ is c. 40m further to the SE, to the E of two spring wells, c. 15m apart, which flowed into a NW-SE stretch of a small stream. It is possible that the placement of the name on the latter map is incorrect. On inspection in August 1984 only one well was visible. It was defined by a collapsed square drystone wall (L 1.6m; Wth 1.6m; H 0.9m) opening to the SW and from where a partially roofed channel (L 1.8m) extended towards the larger stream to the SW. A large amount of rubble, consisting of limestone blocks and one large upright slab, surrounded a sycamore tree directly to the NW of the well. This material have come from a church (GA097-053----) located c. 140m to the NE, to which the well may have been associated.

• GA105-079 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 36m NW-SE; c. 26m NE-SW) and on the 1838 edition a roofed building is shown in the SE quadrant of the interior. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 257, no. 2a) as a ‘Stone fort’. The building has been levelled and the resulting material may have been piled from NNE to SE where a curving line of boulders, faced externally, may mirror and obscure the line of the cashel. From SE to NNE a slight rise may indicate its line. According to local information, there were 27 houses in this area but most of them have been knocked down. When the stones were cleared they were often piled into rings, known locally as 'Lochtains'. A souterrain (GA105-079001-) is associated.
