• KE058-022 Field boundary
  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope. In the 1940s a bronze shears (L c. 0.18m) was discovered during turf cutting at the base of an 'old drain' which was located at a point 'just below the bottom level of the peat' (O'Kelly 1946, 65). O'Kelly suggests that the shears was knocked out from a higher level and dropped down to the point where it was found, when the drain was being dug (ibid.). The presence of the drain is indicative of a prebog field system, the extent of which is not known. There are no visible remains of the drain and the field in which it was discovered has been reclaimed.

• KE058-043001 Cliff-edge fort
  Description

  In pasture, on the W end of a ridge on a S-facing slope with a steep drop down to a ravine on the N, S and W sides. A roughly circular area (c. 31m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 4m) NE-SSE, by a natural scarp (H 4.75m) SSE-SW and elsewhere by the edge of a ravine which drops steeply down to the river below. The interior is level and in pasture. A ledge (Wth 5-6m) outside the scrap S-SW gives ramp-like access to a possible entrance (Wth c. 1.6m) at SW. A drop to the ravine also occurs to the S of this ledge. There is a second possible entrance (Wth c. 2m) at NE between the bank and the edge of the ravine. A low linear earthen bank (L c. 11m) extends E along the edge of the ravine from the NE entrance. The cliff-edge fort is mentioned in the 1840s as Lissagowlane Fort, in the SW end of Buddaghauns (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 6). It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m). A standing stone (KE058-043002-) is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map immediately to the E of the cliff-edge fort. A rath (KE058-044----) is c. 60m to the N on the opposite side of the ravine. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

  Description
