Recorded monuments
- LI006-052 Ringfort - rath
Description
At the N end of an irregular-shaped field recently planted with conifer trees. Located 160m NW of a stream that forms the townland boundary with Maddyboy and 400m SE of the 18th century Clonshavoy House. The 1840 OS 6-inch map depicts a circular-shaped area enclosed by a bank surrounded by trees. The 1897 OS 25-inch map depicts a raised circular-shaped area (int. diam. approx. 32m) defined by a scarp. The interior has been planted with trees suggesting that this may have been a post-1700 tree-ring, possibly associated with Clonshavoy House. Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018 shows the heavily overgrown earthwork that has been fenced off from the surrounding coniferous tree plantation. Depicted as an antiquity on the 1840 OS 6-inch map which may suggest that this was an earlier monument reused in the post-1700 period as a landscaped feature.

- LI006-054 Ringfort - rath
Description
In grassland in NE corner of a large field, 300m N of the R506 and 170m W of a local access road. The site is depicted as a D-shaped enclosure on the 1840 OS 6-inch map with a post-1700 field boundary intersecting perimeter at NW. The 1897 OS 25-inch map depicts the monument as a sub-circular shaped area (approx. int. dims. 38m N-S x 43m E-W; ext. dims. 48m N-S x 50m E-W) defined by a bank from NW through N to NNE, reduced to a scarp elsewhere. Monument visible as a tree-covered earthwork on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.

- LI006-055 Enclosure
Description
In grassland, with gravel quarry immediately to W, townland boundary with Farnane 140m to the W. The 1840 OS 6-inch map depicts a sub-circular shaped area enclosed by a bank with a gravel pit 50m to the W and post-1700 field boundaries radiating out from the N, E and S. On the 1897 OS 25-inch map the area is depicted as an irregular shaped field enclosure (approx. dims. 37m NW-SE x 28m NE-SW) with an opening at NW. The outline of the enclosure is indicated with a solid line in the same fashion as the surrounding field boundaries and no antiquity is depicted at this location. Digital Globe imagery taken 2011-2013 shows an irregular shaped enclosure with field boundaries radiating from N, E, S and NW. Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018 shows that the enclosing element only survives at N, elsewhere it has been levelled. Roadways have been constructed across the N and S side of the monument to gain access to the gravel quarry located immediately to the W and the trees from the interior have been cleared.
