- LI032-117 Megalithic structure
Description
In pasture, which is cut by land drains and watercourses, 130m E of a townland boundary with Rockbarton. A ringfort (LI032-118----) lies 110m to SE. Annotated ‘Giant’s Grave’ on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map where it is depicted as a rectangular-shaped structure (5m E-W; 3m N-S). Described in the Megalithic Survey of Ireland (De Valera & O Nualláin 1982, 78) as: ‘A slab measuring 3.00m by 1.20m, resting above two smaller slabs, 1.00m and 1.50m respectively, in maximum dimension. A stone 1.00m in maximum dimension lies 1.50m to the north of the western end of the upper slab. The object could be the remains of a megalithic tomb but the evidence is not sufficient to warrant its inclusion in our main list’. Upstanding monument is visible as a large flagstone on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.

- LI032-118 Ringfort - rath
Description
In poorly drained pasture, which is cut by land drains and watercourses, 200m E of a townland boundary with Rockbarton. A megalithic structure (LI032-117----) lies 110m to NW. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as an oval-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 41m E-W; 35m N-S) standing in N quadrant of narrow rectangular field immediately S of a field boundary running E-W. Partial outline of levelled monument visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 16/03/2016. See attached Google Earth orthoimage Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 8 November 2020
- LI032-190 Moated site
Description
In rough and wet, low lying pasture, 45m E of a watercourse, 60m NW of a public road, 150m E of a townland boundary with Tullabracky and 1.5km SW of Lough Gur. Ringfort (LI032-118----) lies 190m to N. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified as a rectangular-shaped cropmark by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 202: AP 5/2010). Monument is visible as a rectangular-shaped enclosure (55m E-W; 45m N-S) defined by a scarp and an external fosse on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 16/03/2016.

- LI032-347 Structure
Description
Situated on flat reclaimed grassland with good views in all directions. Ringfort (LI032-118----) 67m to NW, moated site (LI032-190----) 150m to S. The opening of a small hole in the field caused by the collapse of a roof-stone, exposed the remains of a subterranean circular-shaped shaft (D 1.8m X 0.9m diam.) with dry-stone walled sides which appears to have had a stone corbelled roof. This feature was inspected and filled in after the site visit by the landowner in order to prevent further collapse. The function of the dry-stone walled structure is unclear. The presence of a corbelled roof and rough facing of the stone wall would argue against the classification of a well. The other possibility was that the structure could have been a small chamber at the end of a souterrain passage although no evidence of a passage was visible. The presence of the collapsed top-spoil and roof-slab made it impossible to inspect the original floor level of the structure.
