Recorded monuments

• GA106-086 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as an unenclosed roughly D-shaped area (c. 15m E-W; c. 10m N-S). No visible surface trace survives. According to local information, it was levelled in the early 1960s. The ‘Lisheen’ element of the name suggests it was a children's burial ground.

• GA106-087 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In an area of undulating pastureland and tillage. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 38m) is defined by a scarp from NW through E to SSE. A N-S running field wall cuts it at NW and another running E-W cuts it at SSE. No visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the W and S of these walls where the field has been tilled. A souterrain (GA106-087001-) is associated.

  Description

• GA106-088 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In flat pastureland. This possible rath (diam. 34m), which is poorly preserved, is circular in plan; a NNE-SSW field boundary cuts across it at N and SSE.

• GA106-164 Souterrain
  Description

A stone-lined depression (L 4.2m) indicates that it extended further to the E. Another souterrain (GA106-165----) lies c. 170m to the SW.
