Recorded monuments

• MA105-012 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located on a terrace on a steep SW-facing slope, providing good views SE−W over a small stream valley and across an expanse of rising rocky terrain which lies beyond to S. The stream is located c. 150m downslope, and there is a fulacht fia (MA105-023----) adjacent to it. This possible cashel is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a ringfort-like enclosure incorporated into the junction of three field boundaries. It consists of a roughly circular area (int. diam. 16m) built into the slope to create a level, terrace-like interior, backed by a rising, inward-facing scarp (c. 0.8-1.2m) at NW−NE, and defined by a fall in ground/outward-facing scarp (H c. 1m) at SW−SE. An arc of large stones/boulders (av. L 0.6m; H 0.25m) protrude from the base of the sod-covered scarp at N−E, forming a facing against the rising slope; large stones are also evident facing the base of the scarp on the downslope side of the enclosure at SW−S: these remains may be the basal course of an original enclosing wall. Overlying and partly obscuring these wall remnants, is roughly-built drystone walling (Wth c. 0.8m; H 0.6-1m) of relatively recent date. The more recent wall is most substantial on the NW arc of the enclosure, where it serves as a property boundary and is reinforced by post and wire fencing; on the SE half, the later wall is now largely collapsed and appears as a layer of loose stone overlying a low sod-covered stone bank. This enclosure may be a ringfort, possibly a cashel, the ruined remains of which have been incorporated into later drystone field walls. There is an enclosure (MA105-017----) 200m to SW.

• MA105-017 Enclosure
  Description

  In rough fern-grown pasture, located on level ground in a small stream valley, at the base of a steep SW-facing slope. The W-flowing stream is 20m to S, marking the N boundary of a broad expanse of raised rocky terrain which stretches S and W to the sea. This enclosure is not shown on the 1838 and 1919 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a subcircular area (diam. c. 19m) enclosed by a drystone wall. The wall (Wth 0.6-0.7m; H 0.7m) is uncoursed and rather crudely constructed of large, rounded stones, and appears similar in size and structure to field walls in the vicinity. A break (Wth c. 1.5m) at ESE allows access to he interior. At the time of visit the wall was almost entirely engulfed in ferns and was difficult to examine. The interior is flat and not noticeably raised above exterior ground level on its N half, though there is a slight natural drop in exterior ground level to S of the enclosure. Grass, ferns and yellow flag/iris cover the interior ground surface, which is dry and firm underfoot, contrasting with the damp ground immediately to S on the bank of the stream. The date and function are uncertain. The enclosing wall does not resemble that of a cashel. The enclosure may be post-medieval, possibly relatively recent in date. There is a possible cashel (MA105-012----) c. 200m to NE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 November 2017

• MA105-023 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In damp, rush-grown pasture, located in a small stream valley, at the base of a steep SW-facing slope. The fulacht fia is c. 25m N of the meandering W-flowing stream, at the interface of dry, rising ground and flat, wet ground. A small area of hazel wood borders the S bank of the stream at SE. A broad expanse of raised rocky terrain stretches to S. This fulacht fia consists of a compact, horseshoe-shaped mound (10m E−W; 9m N−S; H 0.7m at S) of heat-shattered stone and charcoal. There is a shallow, U-shaped depression (c. 3m E−W; c. 2m N−S) between the ‘arms’ of the mound, open to the N, marking the location of a trough. The mound is grass-covered and well preserved; its curving slope is higher and well-defined on the S half, but is lower at N where the mound merges with rising ground. The trough depression is marked by a growth of rushes and yellow flag iris. There is a possible cashel (MA105-012----) c. 90m upslope in the same field. Images: MA105-023----_01 Fulacht fia viewed from E MA105-023----_02 Fulacht fia viewed from SSW. A possible cashel (MA105-012----) is just visible upslope at top left.
