Recorded monuments

• MA119-025 Earthwork
  Description

  A section of the Td. boundary betweenn Annefield Td. and Davos Td. is marked 'moat' on a 1771 estate map; it is not shown on the 1838 and 1915 OS 6-inch maps. The nature of this monument is uncertain. There is no visible surface trace of archaeological remains at ground level. An earthen field fence (W c. 0.8m; H 0.5m) topped with a hawthorn hedge/overgrowth occurs at this location and serves as the townland boundary. In parts the earthen fence is replaced by a stone wall. There is no local tradition of a "moat". Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 June 2023

• MA119-026 Designed landscape - tree-ring
  Description

  In good pastureland, originally part of the estate of Annefield House, which was built in 1795 and is located c. 200m to W. Not indicated on the 1838 OS 6–inch map; indicated on the 1915 edition as a large oval enclosure (c. 35m E-W; c. 60m N-S), with a wooded interior. At this location is a natural elongated oval hillock. There is now no visible trace of an enclosing element. According to local information, the hillock was once encircled at its base by a field wall and planted with a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. The trees and the field wall were removed during land reclamation in the 20th-century. This enclosure appears to have been a tree-ring/estate feature in the grounds of Annefield house.
