Recorded monuments

• LF023-110 Mound
  Description

  On low-lying ground on the SE bank of the Inny River. This potential monument was first recorded on the OS 25-inch plan (surveyed 1911) where it is represented as a subrectangular raised area defined by hachures. This feature is overlain by a massive spoil heap resulting from river-drainage works and there is no visible trace of it at ground level. The possibility that this mound could be the result of similar works cannot be ruled out. Compiled by: P. Walsh Date of upload: 21 November 2012

• LF027-006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  At the N end of a low rise in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that this raised subcircular area (c. 42m NNW-SSE; c. 38m ENE-WSW) was enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone and a wide, shallow, external fosse. It is defined by a scarp (H 0.7-1.1m) A depression (Wth 2m) at SSE may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
