Recorded monuments

• MA093-061 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located on a low rise, with gently rising ground to SW. Shown on the 1916 OS 6-inch map as a semi-circular hachured arc curving W–NE, bordered to S and SE by straight field fences. An ephemeral curving undulation (L c. 15.5m NE−SW) can be discerned in the field surface corresponding with the hachured arc shown on the OS map. The field fence to the S has been removed; the fence at the SE, which serves as a property division, is extant. It is possible that this is the remnant of an originally circular enclosure; however, it is not possible to trace the full circuit at ground level.

• MA093-062 Souterrain
  Description

  In a possible enclosure (MA093-062001-) which is shown on the 1838 and 1916 OS maps as a rectangular field. This souterrain is marked on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as ‘Cave’ in the NW quadrant of the rectangular field; it is not shown on later map editions. There is no visible trace at ground level.

• MA093-062001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In pasture, utilising a natural rise in an area of generally level ground, flanked c. 40m to W by a N–S esker. This square field (int. dim. 30m N−S; c. 31m E−W) may incorporate the remains of a ringfort/cashel. It is defined by drystone walls (Wth 1.6-1.8m; int. H 0.6-0.8m; ext. H 1.5m) constructed of small and medium-sized stones. At N the wall is evident as a broad stony rise (Wth 2m) with a steep, slightly battered external face (H 1.5m). On its inner edge is a narrow drystone wall (Wth 0.5m), a modern rebuild, which rises proud of the top of the stone bank. The walls appear to have gently rounded corners at SW and NW, but blackthorn scrub and brambles makes close examination difficult. The interior is at a higher level than the surrounding land. There is no trace now of a souterrain (MA093-062----), marked as ‘Cave’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map in the NW quadrant. The field is bordered on the E side by a farm track; a road/trackway that skirted the W and N sides of the field on the 1916 OS 6-inch map has been removed.
