- OF015-001 Ringfort - rath
Description
A hazel-wood tree plantation that appears to be a designed landscape feature of post-1700 AD date. However as it is depicted as an antiquity on the current edition of the OS 6-inch map, it may have been a ringfort that was converted into a tree-ring during the 18th century. 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

Not visible at ground level. Depicted as a square-shaped enclosure (approx. int. dims. 50m E-W; 55m N-S) containing a tree plantation or a possible orchard on the first edition of the ordnance survey 6-inch map. May be only the remains of an orchard enclosure of post-1700 AD date.

- OF015-279 Road - class 1 togher
Description
The site (L 205.05m; Wth 0.95m; D 0.22m) is orientated NE-SW and consists of a dispersed spread of brushwood and roundwoods. At the NE end of the site, the structure is evident as three pieces of heavy brushwood (diam. 0.047-0.068m), identified as willow and alder. At an adjacent sighting it is denser and consists of three roundwoods and over thirty pieces of brushwood, orientated N-S. On the E side, this material is delimited by two parallel, heavy roundwoods and on the W side, by a band (Wth 0.5m) of overlapping pieces of brushwood, 2-3 rods deep. This material is Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat. The site shares the same orientation as the gravel trackway SMR OF015-464---- which extends for 245m beyond the most N sighting. However, both sites are very different in form and construction. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). Date of upload: 23 May 2011

Description
A site (L 5.7m min.; Wth 3.2m min.; D 0.12m) is formed of longitudinal, compact brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.06m) and roundwoods (av. diam. 0.12m), orientated N-S. Only the E side of the site could be traced; here, the structure is less dense and is formed of light brushwood. Alder, ash and oak were identified and a single chisel point was noted. Further wood is present on the field surface to the S and may be associated with this site. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum and ericaceous roots.

Description
The site (L 43.45m; Wth 2.02m min.; D 0.15m) is orientated NW-SE and consists of a series of dispersed, transverse roundwoods and brushwood. It was examined at the central sighting where heavy roundwoods and brushwood are evident. Here, the site survives as a single, transverse oak roundwood, orientated N-S, with some irregular brushwood. The roundwood is partially milled and desiccated. Woodworking as apparent on one piece. The wood has been identified as oak, ash and birch and is in moderately to well-humified Eriophorum and Sphagnum peat. This site is located in an area with much material on the field surface, including SMR OF015-298---- 7.7m to the SE which has a similar orientation and which could be related to SMR OF015-281----.

Description
The site is partially disturbed (L 41.07m min.; Wth 6.7m; D 0.23m), orientated NW-SE which may continue further to the SE. In an adjacent field to the NW, some isolated brushwood may also relate to this site. The site was examined at the most SW sighting there appears to have been some displacement and fragmentation of the timbers. As evident, the site is made up of a single longitudinal birch roundwood (diam. 0.105m), which is broken and partially milled. At either end of this element there are transverse pieces of brushwood and roundwoods present with those at the SE extending the width of the site (Wth 2.26m). Smaller lengths of brushwood are also located in the area. A leather shoe (92E148:6) was recovered from amongst this material. In the central area of the opening, the fragmentary remains of a decorated, turned ash bowl (92E148:8) were recovered from within moderately humified Sphagnum peat. The bowl was broken and the individual pieces were stacked in three layers. Woodworking was also recorded on some of the wood. Other wood species identified include ash, hazel, alder and willow. The site is situated in moderately humified Sphagnum peat which contains occasional Eriophorum some Menyanthes seeds. Towards the S, the peat is more highly humified than that to the N.

Description
A hurdle panel (L 2.22m; Wth 2.4m; D 0.1m) on the field surface which has been partially damaged by milling activity. The panel is set on a substructure of overlapping brushwood, two pieces of which have tear marks. It consists of two sails and c. 90-100 light brushwood rods, 3-5 pieces deep. Most of the rods (L 1.2m min.) appear to run below the sails. They are densest on the W side, having been damaged or displaced on the E. A number of outlying rods are also probably the result of displacement. The sails are orientated NW-SE and are located 0.67m apart. The hurdle has been secured in place by c. six small, irregularly placed stakes. There is possible evidence for coppicing. The site is set in moderately humified Sphagnum peat containing fibrous and ericaceous roots, Eriophorum, Menyanthes and hazelnuts. Also located in this area are SMR OF015-325----, SMR OF015-430----, SMR OF015-346----, OF SMR OF015-414----, SMR OF015-446----, SMR OF015-447---- and SMR OF015-448----.
