Recorded monuments

• GA114-081 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a rise in undulating pastureland. Known locally as the site of a ‘Bishop's house’, this poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 30m) is defined by a drystone wall (Wth at N 2.5m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.2m), much obscured by overgrowth. The W half of the interior is completely overgrown and the E half has been partially cleared. Some field-clearance material visible may be the result of this work. Faint traces of earthen banks to the E may be associated.

• GA114-111 Enclosure
  Description

  In rough level pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subrectangular enclosure (c. 35m N-S; c. 25m E-W) planted with trees. On inspection in October 1982 it was completely overgrown and access was almost impossible. However, traces of a circular stone wall (Wth c. 2.5m) built of large limestone blocks were visible. Possibly a cashel but it may also have been a designed landscape feature associated with Lime Park demesne. Aerial photography (Osi digitalglobe) indicates that it has since been cleared away and no visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 April 2019

• GA114-112001 Structure
  Description

  To S of Limepark House (GA114-112002-). According to local information when the foundations were being dug for a new house, beside Limepark House, an underground chamber was discovered.
