Recorded monuments
- KK014-045 Ringfort - rath
Description
Just below the crest at the N end of a ridge between two small N-S stream valleys with ground falling steeply to the N, E and W, mostly in grassland with a strip of woodland immediately to the E. The monument itself is quite overgrown with trees and scrub. There are very good views in all directions. Depicted on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (dims. c. 38m NW-SE to S field boundary; c. 35m NE-SW), the S sector is transected by a field boundary running roughly E-W and is not indicated S of the boundary. The enclosure is defined by a stoney, grass-covered bank (int. H c. 0.4m; ext. H c. 0.6m; overall Wth c. 3m). The interior slopes gently to the NE and there is a small quarry in the E quadrant.

- KK014-126 Church
Description
On the S side of valley and a little above the valley floor, in reclaimed grassland. A late 18th-century RC church built in 1778. It is indicated as 'Tulla R.C. Chapel' on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map but has been removed by the 1946-7 revision. When visited in 1987 part of the E gable was standing, having been repointed in 1968.

- KK014-154 Earthwork
Description
In a sub-rectangular area of two fields, roughly centrally placed within Ballydaniel townland, with a stream, running roughly NNE-SSW, dividing the fields to the E and W, in pasture. Identified on the ground by Rory Carroll, and also clearly visible on satellite imagery (DigitalGlobe, imagery date 2011-13), there are a number of earthworks, running parallel to the stream and at right angles to it, forming a number of roughly square (all dims. NNE-SSW x WNW x ESE) (c. 48m x 50m), rectangular (c. 73m x 53m; c. 83m x 44m) and irregular (c. 15m x 52m; c. 54m x 49m; c. 92m x 31m; c. 105m x 0.52m) enclosures. A roughly rectangular enclosure (c. 43m x 70m) towards the S of the E field appears to have the foundations of at least one building (c. 7m x 12m) in the SE angle, with another possible building (c. 11m x 8m) immediately W of it. It is possible that this is the location of a medieval castle (KK013-098----/KK014-085----), currently unlocated, which is indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of Crannagh and parish map of ‘Bannogh alias Bannonough’ (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin), roughly centrally placed in the middle of the townland of ‘Ballidonell’ which corresponds to the modern townland of Ballydaniel.
