• LI047-109 Earthwork
  Description

  In flat reclaimed grassland, 120m E of the Glen stream and 500m SE of the confluence of the Loobagh and Maigue rivers. A figure-of-eight shaped earthwork or conjoined earthworks (overall diam. 35m NW-SE x 18m NE-SW) on poorly drained land which has been reclaimed in modern times. Earthwork consists of a raised sub-rectangular shaped area (diam. 12m; H 0.4m) defined by a low bank (H 0.4m) and external fosse (Wth 1.5m) with larger earthwork to N consisting of a low roughly oval-shaped area (diam. 17m x 14.5m) defined by a low bank (Wth 1m; H 0.3m). The southern, smaller part of the ‘figure-of-eight’ appears circular on satellite imagery but field inspection showed it to be almost sub-rectangular. It is also visible in the field but is less pronounced and difficult to photograph due to the rushes. Outline of conjoined earthworks clearly visible on OSi orthoimage taken between 2005-12. Faint traces of earthworks visible on Digital Globe orthophoto taken between 2011-13. Outline of conjoined earthwork visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 01/04/2021. The function of the site is uncertain but it may be the remains of a pre-modern habitation and/or enclosure. Curvilinear enclosures and ‘figure-of-eight’ structures are well-attested in early medieval contexts (O’Sullivan 2008, 231; Kinsella 2010, 102, 109, 121). Furthermore, this site is not visible on any OSi maps and it does not link up with the straight post-medieval hedgerows around it (though Google Earth imagery suggests that an attempt was made in modern times to drain the ditches which surround the site).

  Description

• LI047-115 Enclosure
  Description

  A roughly circular enclosure, measuring 12.5m in diameter. The enclosure is defined by a low earthen bank, which is 0.15m higher than the space it closes. Around this enclosing bank is a shallow ditch with a depth of 0.1m to 0.25m. The ditch is wet and contains rushes. There is a possible entrance in the west side, evident on Google Earth imagery from 2006 and 2017. Bordering the enclosure on the south-east, and perhaps slightly cutting into it, are the remains of a field boundary. This is likely to be more recent, though still pre-1840 as it does not occur on any OS maps. The enclosure may be the remains of a prehistoric ring ditch or ring barrow, given its similarity in terms of size and morphology to sites found elsewhere in Limerick and Tipperary (see Doody 1993; Doody 2001; Doody 2008).
