Recorded monuments

• LI013-004 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Situated in low-lying marshy pasture. A sub-circular area (diam. 40m N-S by 37.1m E-W) enclosed by a single bank of dry-stone construction. The bank is denuded from N to SW (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.35m; Wth. 1.8m) whilst the remainder (int. H 0.9m; ext. H1.4m; Wth. 3.4m) has been incorporated into the surrounding field boundary system, and is masked in places by fallen trees and scrub overgrowth. The stone bank is constructed of un-bonded, un-hewn limestone with a rubble core, and has rough coursing on the faces. There is evidence of collapse to S and NNW. A gap in the SSW might be the original entrance (Wth. 1.2m). There are two more gaps; one in the N (Wth. 2m) and one in the NNW (Wth. 2m) both in the section of denuded bank.

• LI013-005 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on level pasture. The monument is heavily masked by dense scrub. Sub-oval area (diam. 22m N-S; 21.7m E-W) enclosed by an earth-and-stone bank. The bank (int. H 0.68m; ext. H 0.68-0.82m; Wth. 0.9-1.3m) is best preserved from NNE to NNW. There is a break in the bank at S (Wth. 2.7m). The interior slopes gently down to the S. The monument and an area of scrub to S has been enclosed by a stone wall which runs immediately to N, E and W and c. 30m to S of the monument, creating a trapezoidal buffer between two fields.

• LI013-184 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture 20m W of townland boundary with Camheen. Not depicted on the 1840 0S 6-inch map or the 1897 OS 25-inch map. Identified as a possible enclosure (approx. diam. 15-20m) c. 130m E of gas pipeline through examination of aerial photographs (OSi 1097/8) by Celie O’Rahilly, archaeologist, Limerick Corporation. Area marked on SMR map is now visible as a tee-covered irregular shaped area on Google Earth orthoimage taken 11/09/2019. Doubtful antiquity.

• LI013-219 Cremation pit
  Description

  Identified by Ken Wiggings as BGE 4/2/1 during archaeological monitoring (License 02E1649) along the Bord Gáis Éireann, Barnakyle to Coonagh West gas pipeline (Wiggins 2004, 310). Excavated under licence no. 02E1732 (Wiggins 2002), the results were summarised as following; ‘initially identified as two circular patches of charcoal-rich soil. Eventually, a group of four cremation pits was excavated. The overall dimensions of the site were 3.7m (north–south) by 1.6m. Of the cremation pits, F1 was 0.41m long, 0.38m wide and 0.18m deep; F2 was 0.38m in diameter and 0.36m deep; F3 was 0.54m long, 0.45m wide and 0.15m deep; and F4 was 0.45m long, 0.43m wide and 0.1m deep. The features were filled with charcoal-rich soil containing fragments of cremated bone.’ (www.excavations.ie 2002; 1134, 2003; 1139). Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date upload: 30 June 2020

• LI013-221 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Identified by Ken Wiggins as BGE 4/2/3 during archaeological monitoring (License 02E1649) along the Bord Gáis Éireann, Barnakyle to Coonagh West gas pipeline (Wiggins 2003). Excavated under licence no. 02E1734 by Wiggins (Wiggins 2002), the results were summarised as following; ‘The site consisted of four large, bowl-like pits (F1, F2, F4 and F5) and one smaller feature (F3). A number of other potential features were not of archaeological significance. Pits F1–3 were grouped at the eastern end of the site; Pits F4 and F5 were close together further west, adjacent to the limit of excavation. F1 was 0.68m long, 0.64m wide and 0.26m deep; F2 was 0.84m long, 0.6m wide and 0.28m deep; and F3 was 0.45m long, 0.41m wide and 0.39m deep. The fills were grey or dark grey, silty clay, with no burnt stone fragments. F4 and F5 were more informative. F4 was 0.78m long, 0.64m wide and 0.25m deep. The fill was dark grey, charcoal-rich clay, containing a small percentage of burnt stone fragments and some pieces of burnt and unburnt bone. F5 was 0.74m in diameter and 0.32m deep. The fill was dark grey, silty clay with charcoal and gravel, containing a high proportion of burnt stone material and a small amount of unburnt bone. The presence of burnt stone fragments in F4 and F5 indicates that the features probably relate to a fulacht fiadh, for which there was no other evidence within the limits of the Bord Gáis Éireann wayleave’ (www.excavations.ie 2002, No. 1135; Wiggins 2004, 310).
