Recorded monuments

• MA103-080 Burnt mound
  Description

  In pasture, located on the E margins of lowlying expanse of boggy ground. It is bordered to N and E by undulating terrain, dotted with low drumlins. This burnt mound was discovered during archaeological testing (Licence no. 16E0186) carried out in advance of a proposed extension of a commercial quarry (McHugh 2016). A layer (24m N−S; 9m E−W) of fire-cracked stones, charcoal and ash was exposed 0.5m below ground level at the its E end and 1m below ground level at its W end. A row (L 0.6m) of four close-set, narrow stake-like timbers was visible protruding by c. 0.2m at a 45 degree angle from the centre of the burnt layer, possibly part of a trough or some form of wattle structure or surface. The burnt mound was not excavated; it was recorded and then covered with geotextile before the test trench was backfilled, and the location was excluded from any proposed development. A possible togher (MA103-081----) was found a few meters to N. (McHugh 2016) Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 March 2021

• MA103-081 Road - unclassified togher
  Description

  In pasture, located on the margins of a low-lying expanse of boggy ground, which extends to W. The terrain to E is dotted with low drumlins. This possible togher was discovered during archaeological testing (Licence no. 16E0186) carried out in advance of a proposed extension of a commercial quarry (MacHugh 2016). The test trenches (each Wth 2.3m) were laid out in parallel rows, spaced 10m apart. A layer of timbers was uncovered lying horizontally on the natural peat substrate at a depth of c. 0.35m below ground surface in three parallel E−W test trenches. Large timbers (L 0.8-1.25m; Wth 0.15-0.25m) were interspersed with smaller pieces (L 0.2-0.3m; Wth 0.1m), and small twigs and other fragments of vegetation also occurred. There was no obvious structural definition to the timbers and no tool marks were noted. The timbers may be the remains of a togher (Wth c. 7m). It was traced for a distance of at least 41m NW−SE. It may have crossed the margins of a former lake or marshy area that formed at the base of this shallow valley surrounded by glacial drumlins. A burnt mound (MA103-080----) was exposed in a parallel test trench a few meters to S, and it is possible that the togher leads to the fulacht fia.
