Recorded monuments

• MA039-085 Enclosure
  Description

  In lowlying pasture bordering the E shoreline of Lough Conn, which is 160m to W. Immediately to E of the enclosure there is an expanse of wet pasture. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked ringfort-like enclosure (diam. c. 20m), with the bank at S coinciding with the townland boundary; on the 1930 edition the E side is bordered by a N−S field boundary. Slightly raised roughly D-shaped or subrectangular area (c. 20-25m N–S; c. 18m E–W) defined in a shallow curve at S–NW by a low sod-covered wall (Wth 1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.65m), which becomes a gently curving stone faced scarp (H 0.4m) at NNW–NE. The enclosure appears to have been truncated on the E and S sides, which are straight and defined by field fences. The interior, which appears to be level, is obscured by an impenetrable thicket of thorn bushes and brambles. Another enclosure (MA039-086----) is located c. 135m to SSW.

• MA039-087 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a low N–S ridge, providing fine views to W over an expanse of flat wet land bordering the E shoreline of Lough Conn, which is 300m to W. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 19m E–W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.6m at SE, 3.4m at NW; int. H 0.4m at SE, 0.6m at NW; ext. H 1.3m). A stone kerb is evident on the internal face of the bank. A gap (Wth 2.6m) in the bank at E may be the location of the original entrance. The bank is ringed with hazel, blackthorn and brambles; a thicket of brambles obscures the N half of the interior. At S an E–W field bank abuts the external face of the bank. A post and wire fence lies immediately outside the bank at E and N, and conifer trees line the fence on the N side. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 April 2020
