• MA092-031 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In pasture, prominently located on a hillock, with a steep fall of ground to S, W and N and S. Depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. 15-20m), and on the 1917 edition as a small hachured feature (diam. c. 10-15m) encircling a trigonometrical point (455ft). The S–W slope of the hillock was entirely quarried away in the past, and this area has been levelled out and grassed over. The top of the hillock has been graded, and a concrete water tank now occupies the summit, possibly overlying the site of the enclosure. This monument may have been a form of barrow, perhaps similar to the mound barrow (MA092-033----), located c. 800m to SE in the same townland, or the mound barrow (MA092-012----) located c. 500m to NW, but insufficient above ground evidence survives to confirm this.

• MA092-032 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In pasture, located the SE end of a NW–SE ridge, on a level area or slight terrace at the break of slope, with fall of ground to NE. Depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. 15-20m), and on the 1917 edition as a small circular hachured feature (diam. c.10-15m). Destroyed during land reclamation; there is no visible trace at ground level. The siting of this monument, and its depiction on the 6-inch map, suggests that it may have been a mound or a type of barrow, perhaps similar to the mound barrow (MA092-033----), located c. 600m to SE in the same townland, or the mound barrow (MA092-012----) located c. 700m to NW.

• MA092-033 Barrow - embanked barrow
  Description

  In improved pasture, located at break of slope on top of a rise on a NW–SE ridge with extensive views over the SW shore of Mannin Lake. Higher ground restricts views to SW–N. Depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. 15-20m), and on the 1917 edition as a circular hachured feature (diam. c.10-15m). A circular mound (13 NE–SW; 14m NW–SE; H 1.4m at SW, 1.6m at NE) with a saucer-shaped profile. The top (7.6m NE–SW; 9m NW–SE) of the mound is defined by a slightly raised rim grading seamlessly into the gently concave centre. It appears to be predominantly earthen in construction, although some stone protruding randomly from the sloping sides. It is well preserved, grass-covered, with a few hawthorn bushes growing on the perimeter. A field wall on NW−SE axis lies immediately to SW.

• MA092-101001 Souterrain
  Description

  In a cashel (MA092-101----). A surface opening (1.6m N−S; 1m E−W), partly blocked by sheets of metal, is located close to the inner face of the enclosing stone bank in the NW quadrant of the cashel. The opening is flanked by two in situ roof lintels and must be the result of the collapse or removal of an intervening lintel. The opening appears to occur at a junction/change of direction in the drystone-built souterrain. Beneath the lintel on the W side of the surface opening, a narrow lintelled passage or creep (partly blocked) appears to extend to N or NNW beneath the enclosure wall. Beneath the lintel on the E side of the surface opening, there is access to a wider passage/chamber (L c. 4m; Wth c. 1.6m; H 0.7-1m), which slopes down, extending to NE. At the NE end of the chamber, in the E, there is an opening at floor level to a creep, indicating a continuation of the souterrain. A shallow area of surface subsidence (Wth c. 1m; D 0.4m) in the enclosure interior 15m to SE of the opening described above probably also marks the souterrain.
