Recorded monuments

• LI030-101 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on N-facing slope. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1924 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. According to local information levelled c. 1975 when surrounding field boundaries were removed. Slight rise in field may be remnant of enclosure. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LI030-103 Church
  Description

  In pasture, on N-facing slope. Only ivy-clad SW corner of church survives; according to Molony (1905, 261) the rest fell in 1839 and 'most of the fallen portions were removed for building'. Molony (ibid.) observed 'foundations that appear to indicate that the church was 67 feet in external length, and that it was contained in an enclosure of 115 feet by 60 feet'; these features are no longer evident. The surviving S wall (int. L 6.2m) has a rough opening near the SW corner which was a doorway judging by draw-bar socket on E side; just E of this is small wall press which Molony (ibid.) thought was 'for a stoup'. That part of W gable (int. L 2.7m) which survives stands to full height; it now breaks off where part of window ingoing survives. According to Ordnance Survey Name Books associated with St Patrick. No evident trace of burials in vicinity of ruin. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LI030-105 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, atop low hill. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on 1924 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled except for scarped edge (H 1.55m; Wth 8m) defining arc of circular area SW->NNE (diam. 34m SW-NNE). At NNE scarp truncated by recently constructed farm track (axis N-S). Immediately S of SW end of scarp is area of rock outcrop covered by gorse. Interior, in pasture, slopes down gently to N.

• LI030-106 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In area of waste ground between road to NW and working quarry to SE. No evident surface remains of burial ground in area strewn with stones and overgrown with thistle, nettles etc. though area (c. 10m NE-SW; c. 8m NW-SE) where site marked on OS 6-inch map relatively free of overgrowth. Mound of earth (H c. 1.2m) to NE probably spoil from quarry. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LI030-117 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on E-facing slope. Not marked on 1840 OS 6-inch map but shown as arc of field fence NE->S enclosing circular area (diam. c. 30m). This section of field fence appears indistinguishable from surrounding field boundaries and does not display any features suggestive of an ancient enclosure. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LI030-181 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In grassland with stream 20m to S, bisected by a post-1700 field boundary running NE-SW. Modern house in field immediately to NNE. Ringfort (LI038-036----) 120m to SW. Outline of circular-shaped area (approx. int. diam. 30m; ext. diam. 55m) enclosed by a low bank, ditch and external bank visible on Digital Globe orthophoto taken 2011-13. Outline of possible bivallate ringfort clearly visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 25/03/2017 and 28/06/2018. The 2018 orthophoto shows clearly the presence of an internal ditch and possibly three enclosing banks which may suggest a prehistoric barrow or henge type monument rather than that of a ringfort. See attached Google Earth orthophotos taken 25/03/2017 and 28/06/2018 Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 31 May 2020
