• LI031-053 Enclosure
  Description

  In reclaimed rough pasture, 38m S of a stream forming townland boundary with Monaster South, 300m NW of enclosure (LI031-054---). Clorane House lies 450m to S. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as semi-circular shaped area (40m NW-SE x 15m NE-SW), defined by a tree lined field boundary from SE-W-NW and intersected at E by a field boundary running NW-SE. Not depicted as an antiquity on this OSi map but as a tree-lined field boundary possibly associated with landscaping of Clorane House. The 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map depicts a bank from S-W-NW and field boundary at E. Monument visible as faint trace of semi-circular shaped cropmark, at rear of new dwelling on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.

• LI031-055 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In reclaimed pasture, 217m W of townland boundary with Dunkip, 310m SE of enclosure (LI031-054----) and 230m NE of Clorane House.
