Recorded monuments
- LI013-028 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated in low-lying, gently undulating pasture. Indicated on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as an incomplete sub-rectangular platform (c. 50m E-W by c. 40m N-S) defined from NE to W by a scarped edge. The monument was not evident when inspected. A desk-based assessment carried out to ascertain the impact, if any, on the this monument by the proposed gas pipeline between Barnakyle and Coonagh West, Co. Limerick, confirmed that the construction wayleave would have no direct impact on it, which is c. 20m west of the wayleave. It was considered, however, that subsurface archaeological remains associated with the Recorded Monument might lie within the wayleave and therefore eight trenches were excavated. Testing by Dermot Nelis failed to reveal either subsurface features or portable finds- see Gas Pipeline to the West, Section 4- Report by Margaret Gowen & Co (2003).

- LI013-220 Fulacht fia
Description
Identified by Ken Wiggins as BGE 4/1/3 during archaeological monitoring (Licence 02E1649) along the Bord Gáis Éireann Barnakyle to Coonagh West gas pipeline (Wiggins 2004, 307). Excavated under licence no. 02E1733 (Wiggins 2002), the results were summarised as following; ‘Five cuts were identified in the subsoil. The most substantial of these was F1, a pit-like feature, 1.7m long, 1.35m wide and 0.37m deep. The fill was dark grey, charcoal-rich clay, containing a significant amount of burnt stone fragments. An irregular cut (F2), aligned north–south, extended from the northern side of F1, continuing beyond the limits of the wayleave to the north. This feature had an excavated length (north–south) of 2.2m and was 0.6m wide and 0.15m deep. The fill was grey silty clay, with a small quantity of burnt stone. There were three other post-hole-type features on the site: F3 (0.37m long, 0.28m wide and 0.13m deep), with fill of dark grey, silty clay, F4 (0.48m long, 0.25m wide and 0.33m deep) and F5 (0.54m long, 0.38m wide and 0.1m deep), both with a fill of soft, grey, silty clay, with a few spots of charcoal and burnt stone fragments. The existence of deposits containing burnt stone material in this group of cut features indicates that they most likely relate to a fulacht fiadh, for which there was no other evidence within the limits of the wayleave. No artefacts were discovered.’ (www.excavations.ie 2002; 1118). Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date upload: 30 June 2020
