• KD008-011001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  At the top of a very long and gentle S-facing tillage slope c. 100m SW of the confluence of the E-flowing Kilcooney River with the N-flowing Fear English River, with a vast expanse of bog beyond to the E. An oval area (ext. diams. 43m N-S; 24m E-W) is defined by a low, grass-covered, inner earthen bank (Wth 4.3-5.4m; int H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9m) NNW-NE-SE, which has been reduced to a scarp (H 0.9m) elsewhere, and by an outer fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.4m) which is only visible NNW-E-SE and into which field-cleared stones have been dumped. In 1972, an entrance was noted at the S which is no longer visible, and the interior of the monument was uneven and undulating, with a depression running along the inside of the inner bank interpreted as possibly indicating a souterrain (KD008-011002-), (SMR file). The interior is now level pasture. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD008-011002 Souterrain
  Description

  In the SW sector of a rath (KD008-011001-). In 1972, a depression running along the inside of the rath's inner bank was interpreted as the possible line of a souterrain (SMR file). There is no longer any visible surface trace of this feature and the interior of the rath, described as uneven and undulating in 1972, is now level and under pasture.

• KD008-024 Moated site
  Description

  In gently undulating pasture. A rectangular area (dims. L 35m E-W; Wth 30m) is defined along the N by a wide, shallow fosse (Wth 5.5m; D 0.4m; ), and along the W by a wide drain (Wth 5m; D 1.5m) which is probably a re-cut fosse. A modern field bank, probably incorporating an older bank, forms the S-limits, and there is no visible surface trace of an enclosing element along the E. According to the landowner it was known as 'the rath' and had been covered in trees which were felled in 'the Emergency' after which the interior was dug-out for yellow clay or daub for house building and was subsequently backfilled and reclaimed. The morphology suggests it may have been a moated site. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD008-025 Road - unclassified togher
  Description

  A scatter of broken and displaced timbers was noted in the N face of an old turf-bank and apparently extended into an area of uncut peat (SMR file). It may have run for c. 2,200m from dry ground in Drehid townland at NW, across the bog to Drumachon 'island' in Timahoe East townland to the SE.

• KD008-026 Road - unclassified togher
  Description

  Near the W edge of a large expanse of bog. Discovered in 1955 during Bord na Móna drainage operations and investigated by Mr. B O'Riordáin of the NMI, who described the site as 'a timber structure some 5m wide, 0.17m in thickness, 1.6m below the present (shrunken) surface of the bog. It was composed of light branches 'laid crosswise on each other .... but not interwoven in any regular fashion .…(and) in other cuttings inspected some large hewn timbers were observed, one of which measured over 1.05m in length 0.22m in width and 0.08m in thickness' (SMR file; NMI File 1A 21/55)).

• KD008-039 Road - gravel/stone trackway - peatland
  Description

  Towards the W edge of 'Timahoe Bog'. Visible as a thin layer (T 0.2-0.25m) of grey, stony marl overlying a thinner layer (T 0.08-0.12m) of compacted vegetation in the N face of a turf bank, 0.8m below the present, heather-clad bog surface, and traceable for a length of 10m on an ENE-WSW orientation. The Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (UCD) subsequently visited (26 March 2004) and recorded four separate archaeological horizons with natural peat above and below. The lower peat horizon was fen (min D. 0.95m) which was unusual and suggested either an early date for the site or a late transition from fen to raised bog peats in the area. All four phases were present through the entire longitudinal exposure, however, Phase 1 was not evident in the partial transverse section at the NE end. This may indicate that either Phase 1 was narrower than subsequent phases or that there was some divergence in the lines of construction. The site is covered by a poorly humified Sphagnum peat representing a developed raised bog environment. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
