Recorded monuments

• MA092-010 Earthwork
  Description

  In pasture, located on a slight rise in undulating, hilly terrain. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and on the 25-inch plan as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m). Indicated on the 1917 OS 6-inch map as a circular area (diam. c. 20m) with a possible fosse on the W arc, truncated at N by field boundaries and at E by a laneway. The remains consist of a mound (overall diam. c. 20-25m; H c. 2m), probably encompassing a natural rise, with a flattish top (diam. c. 10m) and broadly sloping sides. A shallow depression (Wth 2m; D 0.3m) curving around the base of the scarp at SW appears to be an external fosse –it cannot be traced elsewhere. The mound has been modified by incorporation in a later system of field fences, and remnants of these field fences overlie the scarp at NW and NNE–SE, with traces of stone facing at the base of the scarp at W. A stand of conifers grows on the mound, making examination difficult. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 February 2022

• MA092-011 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, prominently sited on top of a ridge, at the break of slope on the steeply falling ENE side, with very good views. Overlooked at WSW by a natural hillock-like rise on the ridge top. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 10-15m); not shown on later map editions. There is no visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 February 2022

• MA092-012 Mound
  Description

  In average to damp pasture, sited on a low rise, with good but not extensive views over undulating grassland NE–SE and over a flat expanse of bog to W. There is a spring which feeds into a small pool, in a natural dip in ground level to SE, beyond which the ground rises to a low ridge. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m); not shown on later map editions. Circular mound (overall diam. 25m N–S; c. 21m E–W; H 1.5m at N, 1.6m at S) with a flat top (11.4m N–S; 10m E–W) and broadly sloping sides (Wth slope 6.5-7m) that merge with the natural contours of the rise.

• MA092-013 Enclosure
  Description

  In a thicket of blackthorn, surrounded by young coniferous trees, located on elevated ground. Immediately to S there is a small disused sand pit. There is a house to SE. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 20) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. Traces of a scarp or levelled enclosing element can be discerned at N−NNE and at W, but it is not possible to trace the entire circuit of the enclosure. A slight kink in a field fence appears to incorporate or respect the original curve of the enclosure at NW−N. It is known locally as a ‘fort’.

• MA092-014 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In pasture, located on gently rising ground on the W shore of Mannin Lake. To SW the slope rises more steeply. Not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; a subrectangular enclosure is named ‘Children’s Burial Gd.’ on the 1917 edition. The remains consist of a slightly raised, subrectangular area (29m NW–SE; c. 15m NE–SW) defined by a slight scarp/cropmark of ferns on SW side, by remnants of field walls on the NW and NE sides, and by a property wall that curves in a shallow arc around the SE side of platform. The SW half of the interior is relatively level, with a gentle slope down from there to NE. Numerous low, uninscribed stones, probably grave markers, protrude from the uneven surface. Many of the stones are engulfed in grassy hummocks or clumps of ferns and brambles. A number of hawthorn bushes grow in the enclosure.
