- MA030-052002 Mound
Description
This record is listed in the SMR (1991) and the RMP (1997) as a possible mound. No feature resembling a mound is indicted on the 1837 or 1930 OS 6-inch maps, and there are no references in the SMR files to a mound. It seems likely to be a duplicate record for the megalithic tomb (MA030-052001-), shown as ‘Fert Echtra’ or ‘Princess Grave’ on the OS 6-inch maps, perhaps referring to a cairn or mound over that grave.

- MA030-052003 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Located on the outskirts of Ballina town, on the E side of the main Ballina-Killala road. This holy well is named ‘St. Patrick’s Well’ on the 1837 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps. The well is mentioned in the 1838 OS Letters; it is not described, but is recorded as the location where, according to the Tripartite Life of St. Patrick, the Saint baptised a local chief, Eochodius. The original form of the well is unknown; in the 1960’s it was incorporated into a modern concrete surround within a walled enclosure, which also contains the Stations of the Cross. According to local information, a bush once grew adjacent to the well, on which pilgrims tied rags as votive offerings. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 April 2018

- MA030-055 Castle - unclassified
Description
Located in the grounds of Ballina House, built against an elevated terrace on the W bank of the Moy, on the N edge of Ballina town. It is sited at a slight bend and narrowing of the river, and opposite to its confluence with a tributary river, the Brusna. The OS Letters (1838, 74-5) record that a castle once stood in the grounds of the present-day Ballina House, which was built in the 1830’s by Edward Howley, a catholic magistrate: ‘In this Parish about a mile north of Ballina and on the west bank of the Moy is shewn the site of the Castle of Belleck-Moy, a considerable portion of the ruins of which was visible in the memory of the old natives, but no part of which is now traceable. It stood on the hill over the Moy between Mr. Howley’s House and the river.’ The castle was built in 13th century and held by the Barretts. In the 15th century the Burkes were in dispute with the Barrets over ownership of the castle amongst other properties. A resolution of the dispute in 1584 saw Walter Kittage Bourke gain possession of the castle. Knox (1908) records that Kittage Bourke did not hold Belleek for long, as the English gained possession of it and it became a garrison. In 1595 Bourke regained possession, but by 1630 it was owned by Sir William Fenton, and ownership continued to change in succeeding years. Henry (2012, 4-6) identified a possible remnant of the castle, consisting of a three storey, stone-built tower-like building, which is incorporated into the E end of a 19th- century brick and rubble-built stable block. The stable block lies c. 30m to ENE of Ballina House, and consists of a range of interconnected two-storey, slate-roofed buildings, which form the N and W sides of a rectangular walled courtyard, accessed through a cut-stone arched entrance on the S side. The rectangular, three storey building or tower (6.10m N–S; at least 4m E–W) is built against the E-facing slope of the terrace overlooking the Moy. The base of the E wall of the building is set back c. 4-5m from the river’s edge, and is now separated from the river by a trackway (Wth 3-4m). At ground level, the W wall of the building is built against the natural slope, but at first and second floor level the W wall it is incorporated into the E end of the N range of the 19th century stable block, and it is roofed by a continuation of the slated roof of the stable building. The 19th-century modification of the building makes examination and interpretation difficult. The exterior walls are rendered, but at the base of the E wall a portion of the original stone work -mortared limestone blocks- is visible. No original windows are apparent. Square windows, lined with brickwork, have been inserted into the E wall at ground and second floor levels, and into the S wall at first floor level, and a doorway has been inserted at ground level toward the E end of the N wall. The doorway opens into a small vaulted chamber (3.10m N–S; 3.10m E–W), lined and roofed with red brick, which occupies part of the ground floor level, but does not allow access to the rest of the building. It is not possible to examine the W wall of the building, which now forms the end wall of the 19th-century range of farm buildings: Entry can be gained to the ground floor of this range, which because it is built on top of the terrace brings one to first floor level of the tower, but the wall face is heavily plastered and no diagnostic features are evident. Access to the upper floor of the stable range is not possible due to the unstable condition of the building. The base of the E-facing slope of the terrace, immediately to S of the stone building, is faced with a stone (H 1-1.25m). This is rather dilapidated and partly collapsed, and largely obscured by ivy and vegetation. It extends to S for c. 14m curving to SW to meet a projection from the S wall of the courtyard of the stable range. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 April 2018
- MA030-056001 Bridge
Description
This bridge over the River Moy in Ballina town was still extant in the early 18th century when it was recorded by Rev. William Henry (1739) as ‘a stately bridge in the midst of which rises a large square tower with a gate and guard room [MA030-056002-] for defence of this pass. The tide flows up the river to this place.' A modern bridge now stands at this location. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 April 2018

- MA030-094 Burial ground
Description
Located on the W side of Ballina town, in a public green area known as Mercy Park, flanked to the W and E by housing estates, bordered to N by a road, and on the S by a road to the S of which are the grounds of Ballina Hospital. At this location is a rectangular public park (c. 100m E–W; c. 80m N–S). According to local tradition, it is the site of a Famine-era burial ground associated with a Union workhouse and fever hospital, which were located to S at the site of the present-day hospital. The original extent of the burial ground is unclear; no above ground boundaries remain. A scattering of uninscribed stone grave-markers could still be seen here in the early to mid-20th century, but these no longer survive. According to local information, human burials were uncovered, but not recorded, during ground works in the late 20th-century. In January 2009 two further burials were partly exposed during exploratory trenching in the NE quadrant of the park in advance of the laying of sewage pipes. The exposed bones included the finger bones, pelvis, and leg bones of an adult individual, and, immediately adjacent at the N, the leg bones of a second adult. Both burials were aligned E-W. No traces of coffins or grave cuts were evident. The bones were recorded by an archaeologist and reburied, and the pipeline was re-routed.

- MA030-100 Fulacht fia
Description
This fulacht fia was discovered during archaeological monitoring of the construction of a link road on the western outskirts of Ballina town, and was subsequently excavated (licence no. 04E0952) in 2004. It was uncovered at the E edge of the road take (Area A), in low-lying, level ground. There was no surface indication prior to soil stripping (Zajac 2010). It consisted of a low, rough D-shaped mound (12.5m E-W; 5m N–S; D 0.2m) of burnt stone, charcoal and ash. The mound had been disturbed by several E-W field drains (Wth c. 0.3m; D 0.1m), which cut through it and truncated it on its N and S sides. An unlined trough (L at least 1.3m E–W; Wth 0.87m; D 0.4m), oval in plan, was found almost in the centre of the burnt mound. The trough was infilled with organic and burnt material, and redeposit subsoil, with moderate inclusions of boulders and cobbles near the base. A low subsoil ridge or spine extended through the centre, suggesting that the trough had been re-cut/widened along its southern edge. A hazelnut shell and a chert flake were recovered from the fill. The E edge of the trough lay beyond the E edge of the road take, and was not excavated. A shallow oval pit (L 3.2m; Wth 2m; D 0.3m) was located 4m S of the trough, which may have been used for storage. It was filled with burnt stone, ash and charcoal. Another pit (Wth 0.4m) was noted at the N edge of the mound, but was not fully excavated as it extended beyond the road take. A timber stake (yew), with a faceted ‘pencil point’, was found at the interface between the peat layer, which overlay the fulacht fia mound, and a layer of modern disturbance; its relationship to the fualcht fia is uncertain. Another fulacht fia (MA030-101----), located 12m to SW, was also excavated. (Zajac 2010). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 22 July 2019

It consisted of a low mound (7.8m N–S; 4.2m E–W; D 0.2m) of burnt stone, which had been cut through by a number of later E–W land drains. A poorly preserved trough (L 1.7m E–W; Wth 0.9m; D 0.15m) underlay the burnt material. It was rectangular in plan, with each of the rounded corners defined by a stakehole (diam. 0.14m; D 0.4m deep). Remnant of two planks remained in situ, lining the base of the trough; the timbers, which were highly degraded, were tentatively identified as alder. A shallow, kidney-shaped pit (L 1.8m N–S; Wth 1.2m) was located 2m NE of the trough. A portion of the fulacht fia mound extended beyond the road take, and was not excavated. Another fulacht fia (MA030-100----), located 12m to ENE, was also excavated. (Zajac 2010). Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 22 July 2019
- MA030-105 Burnt mound
Description
In a green field site on the NW side of Ballina town. This burnt mound was discovered in 2017 during archaeological testing (Licence no. 17E0552) in advance of a proposed development (McHugh 2017). At this location the test trench extended across a slight hollow in an area of damp ground, but there was no surface indication of the burnt mound. It was exposed at a depth of c. 0.5m below the surface, and was evident as a layer (10m E–W) of charcoal-enriched soil, with frequent inclusions of fire-cracked stones. The N-S extent of the layer remains unknown as it extends beyond the limits of the test trench (Wth 1.9m N-S). A protective geotextile cover was placed over it and the trench was backfilled.
