Recorded monuments

• MA015-033 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on an elevation, in an area of gently undulating grassland, with extensive views in all directions, including Rathfran Bay to N and Killala Bay to S. This rath consists of a broadly oval, raised area (25.5m N–S; 30.8m E–W) defined by remnants of an earthen bank. The bank (Wth c. 5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.8m) is best preserved at S–SW. Elsewhere it survives as a scarp which retains a slight internal lip. The scarp has a pronounced external slope (max. ext. H 2.5m at W) at SW−N, but is lower at NE−E (ext. H 0.65m at E). Outside the bank at NW–N there is a slight depression (Wth c. 4m) which may indicate a fosse. The interior is generally level, but appears slightly lower at E. Slight remains of a linear bank (Wth 1m) extends on a roughly E–W axis across the S half of the interior, and a similar feature is visible in the N half of the interior; they may be relict cultivation ridges. At NW, close to the bank, a roughly circular pit (7m NE–SW; 5.5m NE–SE; D 0.8m) has been quarried into the interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 November 2018

• MA015-089 Building
  Description

  In pasture, located on a low, level elevation, bordered to W and N by wet pasture and overlooked c. 100m to N by a ridge of higher ground. Located at the S end of a broad peninsula of pasture and sand dunes that extends N into Kilalla Bay and is bordered to W by the estuary of the Palmerstown River. This building is not shown on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch map. When first recorded in 2010 it consisted of a low, grass-covered sub-rectangular platform (c. 12-14m NNE-SSW; c. 10m WNW–ESE) defined on the W and S sides by a contiguous setting of large stones, which appeared to represent wall footings. It was subsequently levelled during land reclamation activities. According to local tradition, there was castle in this area. A field across the road immediately to S, now an expanse of featureless pasture, has traditionally been known as the ‘Castle field’, possibly associated with a castle (MA015-065001-) and settlement (MA015-065002-), which is listed in the Stafford Inquisition of Co. Mayo as "...the castle, town and lands of Rosse commonly called Rosse Mc Paddin..." (O'Sullivan (ed.) 1958, 153). Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 December 2018
