Recorded monuments

• MA073-062 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  In pasture and larch plantation, located in an area of level grassland surrounded by expanses of bog, with a particularly extensive bog c. 350m to W. The Mayo-Roscommon county boundary is c. 750m to E. This large enclosure consists of a broadly oval area (c. 110m NW–SE; c. 100m NE–SW) defined by a low rise or undulation which represents a levelled bank or wall. The levelled enclosing element is visible at W–NW as a slight rise marked by rough vegetation and at NNW–N as a broad, low curving scarp (H 0.5m). At N-NNE it is truncated by, or possibly incorporated into, a property fence (Wth c.1m; H 0.5). At NE-SE it can be traced as an arc of slightly raised ground, marked by rough vegetation, with a break (Wth c. 3m) at ENE now providing access to the interior for farm machinery. The SE arc cannot be traced. The S−SW sector of the enclosure has been planted with larch trees, but the outline of the enclosure can still be traced in parts as a slight curving rise beneath the trees. The interior of the enclosure is not significantly raised above surrounding ground level. It is relatively level, with a slight rise or undulation apparent in the centre and NE of centre. Two parallel property fences, on a NW–SE axis, cut across the enclosure; one clips the N–NNE edge and the other bisects the interior to SW of centre.

• MA082-002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, located on a low rise. Views are restricted now by trees and field fences. This possible rath is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure clipped on the E arc by a field boundary on a NNE–SSW axis, and on the 1916 edition as a semicircular enclosure bordered on the straight E side by a NNE–SSW field boundary. The remains consist of a roughly semicircular platform (20.8m N–S; 11m E–W to field fence) defined on the curving W side by a low, dilapidated earthen scarp (ext. H c. 0.6m) with a slight stony lip in parts, and bordered on the straight side to E by a NNE–SSW field bank planted with a line of sycamores. There is no trace of the E half of the enclosure to E of the field fence. There is a low irregular, curving stony rise (Wth c. 1m E–W; L c. 4m; H c. 0.2m) in the interior at W, set 2.5m in from the edge of the scarp; its function is unclear. Hawthorn, blackthorn and ash trees grow on the perimeter and across the interior, and the interior surface is strewn with loose stone.
