Recorded monuments

• KD027-004 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  Mid-way down a long moderately steep SW-facing slope in tillage. In 2000 (SMR file), the monument survived as a small partially overgrown, circular area (int. diam 5m) enclosed by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.15m; Wth 2.4m; ext. H 0.5m). with no trace of an outer fosse. However, ploughing up to the edge of the monument may have resulted in its infilling. In 2007, the monument was completely ploughed over revealing a central circular area of grey ash, charcoal and burnt bone which was girdled by a band (Wth c. 1.2m) of pale yellow soil with possible human bone, charcoal and burnt earth inclusions.

• KD027-005 Enclosure
  Description

  Prominently located at the E end of a pasture ridge with panoramic views N-E-SSE. A very large circular area (int. diams. 95m E-W; 94m N-S) is enclosed by a low broad, earthen bank (int. H 0.2-0.5m; Wth 3.4-6m; ext H 0.2-1.1m) which is almost dug away and replaced by a straight modern field bank at NW, and which appears to be constructed on a berm (Wth 3.6m) along the N. Opposing gaps at E (Wth 5.2m) and WSW (Wth 4m) may be enlarged original entrances. The interior has been dug out (D 1m) SE-S-SW, and there is a smaller dug out area in the NE sector.

• KD027-038 Megalithic structure
  Description

  Near the top of a long and moderately steep SW-facing slope in tillage. A ringbarrow (KD027-004----) lies c. 130m downslope to the S. While named ‘Dolmen’ on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map, the site comprises a pair of rough boulders; a larger S one (L 2.5m; Wth 2.5m; H 1.8m) partly resting on a smaller N one (L 1.6m; Wth 1.3m; H 0.7m). Although not accepted as a megalithic tomb by de Valera and O’Nualláin (1972, 101), they note that a human skeleton is said to have been found at the site.
