• OF007-032 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On the S facing slope of a high ridge running E-W in undulating countryside. Circular area (36m E-W; 34m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.5m) best preserved at N with slight evidence of an external fosse in places with no evidence of an entrance feature. There are two low mounds of loosely piled stones in the E sector of the site possibly the result of field clearance. There is a low field wall running E-W from the W edge of the ringfort to the centre where it abruptly ends. In some places especially at N this site has a cashel like appearance. 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

• OF007-033 Burial ground
  Description

  Located on high ground with good views to the N, E and S with restricted views to the W. Sub triangular shaped platform (31m N-S; 37m E-W; ext. H 0.5m) defined by a scarp with several irregular shaped stones protruding from the surface, probable grave markers of unknown date. In centre of the platform there is a large recumbent headstone (Wth 0.7m; L 1.7m) of 18th-century date. This site is very similar to a childrens burial ground although the appearance of one inscribed headstone is curious. According to local information it was used as a burial ground for unbaptised children.

  Description

  The site (L 59.464m; Wth 2.8m; D 0.35m) is orientated WNW-ESE but appears to change orientation midway along its length, running ENE-WSW, then resuming a WNW-ESE orientation.

Woodworking is evidenced by mortices in three of the planks and by a number of planks with faint, degraded toolmarks at their ends. The site is situated in moderately to well-humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum, Phragmites, ericaceous remains and a large amount of natural wood and leaves. The site has been dendrochronologically dated to 954±9 BC or later (Q9518). SMR OF007-110---- is located c. 1.5m to the S and was dendrochronologically dated to 956±9 BC or later (Q9521).

• OF007-121 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  The site (L 3.78m; Wth 0.98m; D 0.49m) consists of a single plank superstructure on a substructure of planks and brushwood in the drain face. Two possible oak pegs are also incorporated into the structure but these appear to have been disturbed. The superstructure and the substructure are set at approximate right angles to one another but the site has no discernible orientation. The planks are radially split. Woodworking is evidenced by a mortice in one of the substructural planks and by a worked end on one of the pegs. It is situated in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. The site was dendrochronologically dated to 948±9 BC or later (Q9527).
