Recorded monuments

• KK010-021 Enclosure
  Description

  On a small bluff protruding to E from W side of Deen river valley, with a very steep slope down to the valley to E, in rolling grassland. There are very good views across and along the Deen river valley to N, E and S and fair view to the W. Indicated as a circular enclosure on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map but not on the 1947 revision suggesting it has been largely levelled by the latter date. Visible at ground level as a very slight, roughly circular platform (max. diam. 27m; H 0.3-0.5m). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 14 November 2018

• KK010-022 Enclosure
  Description

  In a prominent position on top of a natural hillock, in rolling grassland. There are commanding views in all directions. Depicted on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a rectangular enclosure (c. 28m NW-SE; c. 16m NE-SW), with a field boundary running N-S along the edge of the E portion. On the 1947 revision OS 6-inch map it is depicted as a D-shaped enclosure, the E field boundary forming the straight edge. A roughly circular platform (dims. 17m N-S; 19m E-W; H c. 1.2m). There is an entrance ramp (Wth 6-7m) in the SE sector which, though probably modern, may conceal the original entrance. The fairly flat interior slopes slightly to the W, dropping c. 0.5m from E to W. There is a berm (Wth 2-5m) around the base of the platform at N, S and W. The E sector has been truncated by or incorporated into the N-S running field boundary. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 14 November 2018

• KK010-197 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture. A roughly circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 40m), defined by a low bank or scarp with an external fosse, visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth imagery date 8 March 2010; Digitalglobe, viewed 3 September 2020), identified and reported by Gaibhin O'Dubhconna. There is a farmyard located indicated immediately NE of the enclosure on the 1st (1839) ed. 6-inch OS map and the 1947 revision, however, this and the field boundaries associated with it to the W have been completely removed. There is another enclosure (KK010-021----) 190m to the NE.
