Recorded monuments

• KK030-011 Moated site
  Description

  In generally flat topography. A square raised area (int. dims. 61m square; ext. dims. 74m square) defined by earthen bank (Wth 2-2.2m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 2-c. 3m) with external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.6m). The fosse has been largely infilled on the E, S and W sides, with a field boundary running along the N side. According to local information a flagged area was found during levelling of the interior. The monument appears to have been levelled since visited in 1989, as it is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite image, imagery date 17 June 2017) and is not visible on a more recent satellite image (Google Earth satellite image, imagery date 30 May 2023).

• KK030-016 Enclosure
  Description

  On level ground which has been reclaimed. There is a small area (dims. c. 30m E-W; c. 12m N-S) of quarrying for sand S of the monument. The former curvilinear River Glory, which has been straightened, flows c. 40m to the S before bending northward and continues c. 70m to the E. In Gothic script, 'Knocknashanoge' is indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map immediately W of a small roughly circular (diam. c. 20m) enclosure with another subrectangular enclosure (dims. c. 20m NW-SE; c. 24m NE-SW) adjoining to the NW. These are not indicated on the 1901 revision. 'Knock' is an anglicised version of cnoc meaning hill and Dinneen (1927) gives the meaning of 'seanóge' as 'the old Irish hood-cloak'. There is no visible trace of this monument at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 9 August 2023
