Recorded monuments

• LF002-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On top of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. A raised circular area (27.3m N-S; 25.5m E-W) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 7m; H 0.7-1.3m) with a narrow external fosse (Wth 1.5-3m; D 0.3-1.1m). A recently widened break in the bank at W probably marks the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LF002-018 Road - unclassified togher
  Description

  In a narrow bog with dryland areas to the W and E. A timber road (L 30m), noted in 1985 below the bog surface (D 0.91m), reportedly linked raths in Corrinagh (LF002-013----) and Cloonbrack (LF002-015----) townlands. It was not identified during an inspection in 1998 (SMR file: data supplied by the former Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit, University College, Dublin.) In 2023, a togher was also reported in this bog – see LF002-023----. The lands had changed hands and the new landowner had been made aware of the presence of a togher by the previous owner who, in 1985, had informed the National Museum of Ireland of the togher. It was subsequently designated LF002-018----. While it is possible that two toghers once crossed this bog, the recent discovery of a ‘second’ togher suggests that the location of the previously reported togher (LF002-018----) should be re-examined for accuracy.

• LF002-023 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  Reported by Mr Sam Moore (Applied Archaeology, Atlantic Technological University, Sligo) on foot of information received from the landowner. The togher runs roughly E-W across a narrow N-S orientated strip of raised and partially cut-away bog situated between two slightly elevated and parallel N-S ridges running to the E and W of the bog. A rath (LF002-014----) stands c.367m to the NW and there is a second rath (LF002-015----) c.547m to the NE. A short (L 2.3m) well preserved section of togher was exposed c. 0.4m below the present surface of the bog and comprised two longitudinal split oak timbers and two transverse timbers: the most western of the two split timbers (L 1.08m E-W; Wth 0.19m: T 0.10m) extended into a western baulk. The second longitudinal timber (L 1.20m; Wth 0.19m; T c.0.10m) lay E of it and terminated at a transverse roundwood (L 1m; T 15m) which extended into a northern baulk. A second transverse roundwood (L 0.75m; T 0.13m) lay 0.20m to its W. No visible tool marks or peg holes were identified. To the W of the exposed timbers, a line (L 3.1m) of five flat sandstone slabs (each measuring L c. 0.40m; Wth c. 0.30m; T c. 0.10m), and set c. 0.4m apart, extended to where their line is truncated by an E-W drain. One slab was disturbed by the cutting of the drain. Following the discovery, probing by the landowner suggested that the togher could be traced for c. 25m. The landowner, who subsequently re-covered the exposed timbers, was aware of the presence of a togher in this bog, having been informed of this by the previous owner. In 1985, the former landowner had informed the National Museum of Ireland of a togher and it was subsequently designated LF002-018----. While it is possible that two toghers once crossed this bog, the recent discovery of the present togher suggests that the location of the previously reported togher (LF002-018----) should be re-examined for accuracy. See attached copies of images kindly supplied by Mr Sam Moore: • LF002-023----_01 Digital Globe image showing approximate location of c.25m long togher (based on probing carried out by landowner). • LF002-023----_02 Looking W towards exposed longitudinal and transverse timbers. • LF002-023----_03 Looking N towards E end of exposed timbers showing transverse roundwoods. • LF002-023----_04 Three (of the five) flat stones – indicated by white arrows - located to W of, and at the same depth as, the exposed timbers. (The middle stone was turned by a track machine.) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 26 July 2023
