• OF017-008001 Church
  Description

  No surface trace visible of any church inside rectangular shaped graveyard (OF017-008002-) with earliest dated headstone 1760. According to Comerford (1883, 305) there was a small portion of a ruin inside the graveyard in the 19th-century. Test excavation was undertaken at the site by Dominic Delany in 1999 under licence no. 99E0214. The site (75m north-south by 45m) is adjacent to a church site and a graveyard (OF017-008001-). The existing graveyard boundary is D-shaped (maximum dimensions 55m east-west by 35m), and, according to the SMR files, 'there is a strong possibility that the "D" is but the NNE half of an earlier circular enclosure'. Four test-trenches were mechanically excavated at locations corresponding to the footprint of the proposed development. The topsoil was a grey/brown, silty sand, 0.25m thick, overlying a yellowish/brown, silty sand subsoil. Outcrops of shattered limestone bedrock and grey, silty sand and gravel were encountered at a depth of 0.45m. A flat/round-bottomed ditch, 2.9m wide and 0.75m deep, was encountered in three of the trenches, and this appears to represent portions of a continuous feature, possibly an enclosure (OF017-008003-) associated with the nearby ecclesiastical site. The ditch fill was a light brown, clayey sand with infrequent inclusions of angular cobbles and boulders, animal bone and molluscs. No datable finds were recovered from the fill. In Trench 4 a deposit of orange, sandy clay, 0.4m thick, was present on the north lip of the ditch, and this may represent part of a levelled internal bank. Similar spreads of orange, sandy clay were encountered in Trenches 2 and 3, albeit at some distance from the ditch. It should be noted that the ditch encountered during testing is not aligned with the circular enclosing element that forms the north boundary of the existing graveyard. A second, smaller ditch was encountered 6m south of the main ditch in Trench 4. It was 1.8m wide, narrowing to 0.8m at the limit of excavation, which was 0.4m below the top of the ditch. The fill was similar to that of the main ditch, and the two features are probably contemporary.

• OF017-011 Hut site
  Description

  No surface remains visible at ground level. Possible hut site identified and described by the Offaly Historical and Archaeological Society in 1974 as, 'a circular platform curved on the edge of the hill. Used as a venue for Maypole dancing up to 1940s. There are traces of rectangular lines on the ground' (OHAS file 1974; SMR File). This circular platform appears to have been the result of quarrying for gravel extraction from the side of the hill for local road building purposes. Of doubtful antiquity.
