Recorded monuments

• OF014-003001 Hilltop enclosure
  Description

  This is a large circular feld boundary defined by a dry stone wall enclosing a large circular area as shown on OS 6-inch maps. The field boundary encloses the base of a hillock going around the hillock and forming a large circular enclosure. On the first edition of the OS 6-inch map there is a larger outer enclosure depicted. If both enclosures are contemporary this would be the site of a large hilltop enclosure or concentric enclosure possible. Unsure about the antiquity of this enclosure, may be just the remains of field boundaries of 17th or 18th century date. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011

• OF014-015 Enclosure
  Description

  No surface remains of any potential monument of archaeological significance in area marked on 6-inch ordnance survey map. Potential enclosure identified from aerial photographs taken in 1973 (GSI N 522/521). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

• OF014-016 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Situated on top of high ground with good extensive views with church (OF014-017001-) to SE. D-shaped graveyard enclosed by a stone wall (H 1m; W T 0.5m) which encloses an area (26m E-W; 15.5m N-S) with rows of erect unmarked headstones orientated E-W aligned on a N-S axis. Wall appears to be 18th/19th-century in date and possible coffin stand and stile located at the S end of the E wall. Graveyard may be associated with the nearby church which probably dates to the 18th-century. Uncertain if it is the site of a childrens burial ground, appears to be too elaborate for a childrens burial ground. May be associated with penal times thus explaining the unmarked headstones. May have been a graveyard that was reused asa childrens burial ground. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

• OF014-017001 Church
  Description

  Located on high ground with holy well (OF014-019----) to S and Childrens Burial ground (OF014-016----) to N. Poorly preserved remains of a rectangular church (ext. dims. 7.1m N-S; 16.5m E-W; wall T 0.9m) built with roughly coursed limestone rubble. Only portion of S wall stands to full height and has a narrow slit window with rough unworked jambs. The rest of the building is covered in ivy with no other architectural features evident. Possible 18th-century date due to simple crude window and lack of any worked stone. Known locally as St. Brigids church and may be associated with penal times as mentioned in the ITA Survey (1942). No evidence of any enclosure surrounding the church. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
