• MA031-037 Moated site
  Description

  In level, lowlying pasture flanking the SE bank of the Brusna River, located at a marked bend or loop of the river. There are good views to NE and SW along the line of the shallow river valley, with gently rising ground to NW and SE. Rectangular raised area or platform (28.4m NE-SW; 60m NW-SE) defined by remnants of an earthen bank, and enclosed by a fosse, with remnants of an outer bank. It is located on the E side of a rectangular bay of level ground bounded on the SE, NW and NE sides by a loop in the river. The NE corner of the site is a mere 4m from a steep slope that drops to the river bank. The substantial inner enclosing bank (Wth 4.2m-5.8m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.7m on SE, 2m on S), of hard-packed gravelly soil, is well-preserved on the SE third of the site. It retains a low internal rim along the SW side, but is reduced to a well-defined scarp (H 0.95m to NE) on the NW and NE sides. Roughly in the middle of the NW side, a semicircular section (L c. 7m) of the enclosing scarp has been dug out. The broad, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3m; ext. D 1.5m) is well-defined, except on the NW side. Remnants of an outer bank (Wth c. 3m; ext. H 0.4m) survive on the S corner and along the SW side, and at NW, but it has been levelled elsewhere. The interior is level and featureless, with a slight slope down to NE. There is an eroded break (Wth 2.4m) in the inner bank at S. Grass cover, with a clump of blackthorn established in the SE quadrant of the interior. An enclosure (MA031-036----) is located on a prominent rise on the opposite bank of the river 120m to SW.

• MA031-038 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In improved, undulating pasture, located on top of a ridge, close to the NW-facing slope where ground falls away for c. 80m to the Brusna river. There are good views to NE and SW along the course of the river valley. This rath is shown as circular on the 1837-8 OS 6-inch map, but by the time of the 1922 edition it is shown as penannular, open to N. It consists of a sub-circular raised area (20.4m E–W; 15.5m N–S to quarry) defined at ESE−SW by an earthen bank (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.7m, at SE), reduced to a scarp (Wth slope 2.8m; ext. H 2m, at NW) at WSW−NNW. A portion (15m E−W; 6-7m N−S; D 1.2m) of the rath at NW−N has been quarried away. The exterior slope of the bank has been cut to the vertical for a length of 4m at S The interior is level. Grass covered. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 29 June 2018

• MA031-039 Souterrain
  Description

  In the garden of a farmhouse. This souterrain is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. It was uncovered in 1985 by the landowner while digging foundations for a garden wall to S of the farmhouse. It is of drystone construction with lintel roofing. Following the discovery, it was closed up, and is now inaccessible. A possible souterrain (MA031-040001-) is located 50m to S within a rath (MA031-040----).

• MA031-040 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on an elevation, in an expanse of gently undulating, damp pasture, bordered 200m NW by the Brusna River, and 370m to SE by the Glenree River. There is an E−W road immediately to S. Raised ovoid area (29.5m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW), narrowest at NW end, defined by earthen bank (Wth 4m–4.6m; int. H 0.2m at SW, 0.65 m at NE; ext. H 1.45m at NE, 1.7m at SW). A field fence, oriented NE-SW, cuts across the bank at NW. The interior slopes down gently from NW to SE. In the highest part at NW, there is a shallow linear depression (L 4m; Wth 1.4m) with a low, raised lip on the W side, which may mark the location of a possible souterrain (MA040001-). There is a sub-circular area (6m NE-SW; 7m NW-SE) defined by a slight, gapped rise/bank located against the inner face of the bank to SSW; it is barely discernible and of uncertain significance. There are several eroded gaps in the bank, the largest (Wth 1.5m) to SE may be the original entrance, or the entrance may have been at E, where there is a low section of bank (L 6m), towards which there is a marked slope in the interior. Interior is grass-covered; perimeter is ringed with hawthorn and gorse. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 19 June 2018

• MA031-040001 Souterrain
  Description

  Located in a rath (MA031-040). According to local information, there was ‘a hole lined with stones’ in the N end of the rath. This was still visible in the mid 20th century, but was not evident when the rath was inspected in 1995. It may relate to a shallow linear depression (L 4m; Wth 1.4m), with a low, raised lip on the W side, which is located where the interior ground level is highest in the NW of the rath interior. An unenclosed souterrain (MA031-039----) is located c. 50m to N of the rath. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 19 June 2018

• MA031-054001 Earthwork
  Description

  In lowlying pasture reclaimed from bog, on slight rise. The confluence of the Black River and the Srafaungal River is located c. 300m to S, and the larger Brusna River is 550m to W. This enclosure is not shown on the 1837-8 OS 6-inch map. It is depicted on the 25-inch plan and on the 1922 OS 6-inch map as a small central hachured area encircled by a double ring of hachuring (overall diam. c. 20m): this would be suggestive of a ringbarrow. It was recorded in OPW field notes (1958) as an ‘old house or byre, partly stone, partly turf, with a collapsed bank all around’. It was deemed to be of no archaeological interest and permission was given to the landowner to reclaim the land. According to local information, in the centre of the circular area, which was defined by a bank, there was a circular rise (diam. c. 5-7m), domed in profile –a description which appears to tally with its depiction on the 25-inch plan. When inspected in 1995, the location consisted of a pasture field with no visible remains of an archaeological monument. A house now stands on the location.

• MA031-055 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  In undulating, average pasture, straddling SE side of low rise. Good views to E-S This unclassified megalithic tomb is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. A roughly rectangular chamber or gallery (4.5-5m NW−SE; 1.8m NE−SW) is outlined by six earthfast, upright boulders and large stones. The spacing between the stones is irregularly, varying from 0.25m to 1.5m. They range in length from 1-1.7m, and in thickness from 0.3-0.5m, and stand to a relatively uniform height of 0.4-0.5m. A few smaller stones, barely protruding above ground level are evident at the SE end of the chamber. The chamber is centrally located on a low, subrectangular grass-covered platform (12.5m NW−SE; 10.8m NE−SW), which might incorporate remnants of a cairn. The platform is defined by a scarp, which is well defined at S−W (ext. H 0.8m at W; 1.5m at SE), but is low (H 0.4-0.6m) elsewhere. A large, semi-prostrate slab (L 2.2m) protrudes from the ESE edge of the platform, 2.8m from the SE end of the chamber, and 4.2m to E of that, there is a large boulder (L 2.6m; Wth 2.5m; H 0.5m) on the field surface.

• MA031-068 Barrow - mound barrow
  Description

  In gently undulating, improved pasture, crowning the top of a low hillock, which provides extensive views, with the Ox Mountains dominating the skyline to E and SE. This possible mound barrow is not shown on the 1837-8 and the 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a low, degraded circular mound (10m N-S; 9m E-W), with a flattish top, defined by a slight scarp (H 0.3m), which is barely distinguishable from the natural slope. A slab (Wth at least 0.55m; T 0.1m) protruding from the top of the mound at NE. The mound is known in local tradition as an ancient gravesite. There is a ringbarrow (MA031-069----) 150m to SW. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 5 July 2018

• MA031-069 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In undulating pasture, located in a slight dip on the N side of a hillock. There are excellent views of the surrounding countryside, with the Ox Mountains dominating the skyline to E and SE. This ringbarrow is not shown on the 1837-8 and the 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a low, circular platform (6m N-S; 5.5m E-W; H 0.6m) enclosed by a well-defined fosse (Wth 2.2; ext. D 0.95m) and remnants of an external bank. The bank has been largely levelled; a slight rise is still evident in parts, but it is evident mainly as a cropmark (Wth 1.6m). The central platform appears to be earthen, composed of fine sandy soil. A concentration of boulders occupies most of the platform. The largest boulder (H 1.2m; circ. 4.45m) is slightly off-centre to S. It occupies a shallow depression and appears to rest on a number of smaller stones. Adjacent to the NE, is a narrow, recumbent stone (L 1.3m; Wth 0.4m), oval in cross-section. To N of this, is an upright boulder (H 1.05m; circ. 2.4m), which appears to be set in the ground. Several smaller stones are scattered over the surface. The haphazard arrangement of the boulders and stones suggests that some, at least, are the result of field clearance. The depth and sharp definition of the fosse contrasts with the degraded nature of the bank, and may be result of modern activity; OPW field notes record a number of channels or drains cutting through the bank (SMR file). The ringbarrow was enclosed within a rectilinear enclosure (c. 33m E−W; c. 22m N−S), defined by a field bank. This enclosure is shown on the 1922 OS 6-inch map, although the barrow is not. The enclosure, which was levelled during land reclamation works, is likely to have dated to the modern era. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 5 July 2018
