No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Moyally.

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- OF001-002001: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF001-002001-. Built on a low natural rise of ground in undulating countryside. Rectangular bawn wall (ext. H 3.5m; wall T 1.3m) which encloses a rectangular area (47m N-S ; 33m E-W) level with the top of the surviving bawn wall. The base of an oval shaped bastion (int. dims. 4.6m N-S; 8.6m E-W) survives at the NE angle with two opposing vertical garderobe chutes in the N and S walls where the bastion wall joins the main bawn wall. The chute in the N wall (int. dims. 0.7m by 1.5m) has an arched ope leading into the now destroyed moat. The wide flat bottomed moat (Wth. 6.5m; ext. D 0.75m) which originally enclosed the bawn survives on the NW side only. The bastions on the other three corners are destroyed with a peculiar square shaped bastion projecting out from the S end of the E wall, presumably the foundations of a square tower. The site is similar to the Powder Mills in Ballincollig Co. Cork where the towers on the bawn wall were the residential quarters of the castle. This site is probably a late 16th/17th-century plantation castle. The raised interior of the Bawn has slight evidence of possible rectangular structures along the inside of the bawn wall.

To the N of the castle (OF001-002001-) are a pair of shallow fosses running on an E/W axis. These were probably the outer defences of the Plantation Castle.

- OF001-012: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF001-012----. Testing was carried out by David Bayley of Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd as part of an archaeological mitigation programme associated with the N6 Kilbeggan to Athlone dual carriageway. The site was identified during testing undertaken by Fintan Walsh (IAC Ltd) in July 2005 (A016/029). The site was excavated in January 2006. An excavation area measuring 45m by 32m was opened. The site comprised part of a ringfort ditch and bank and three isolated external features. The majority of the ringfort was outside the CPO, with only a 39m-long arc of the ditch contained within the CPO. The internal diameter of the ringfort was 30m. The ditch was V-shaped in profile, with a maximum width of 4.4m and a maximum depth of 1.96m. An internal bank was created surviving to a maximum depth of 0.45m. Finds recovered from the ditch fills indicate an early medieval date for the occupation of the ringfort. Three isolated features were recorded situated external to the ringfort ditch. These consisted firstly of a post-hole located south-west of the ringfort, secondly a small pit with evidence of burning located west-south-west of the ringfort and thirdly a second pit with evidence of fire-reddened clay, lying to the west of the ringfort. No dating evidence was recovered during the excavation of the three isolated features but it has been assumed that they are contemporary with the use of the ringfort (Bennett 2010, 404).

Testing was carried out by David Bayley of Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd under licence No. E2672 as part of an archaeological mitigation programme associated with the N6 Kilbeggan to Athlone dual carriageway. The site was identified during testing undertaken by Fintan Walsh of IAC Ltd in August 2005 (A016/029). The site was excavated in February 2006. An excavation area measuring 15m by 15m was opened. Two furnaces containing iron slag in all fills were discovered. The first furnace was an irregular sub-oval-shaped bowl furnace measuring 0.28m in length by 0.92m in width. The second, a double bowl furnace, was sub-oval in shape and measured 0.98m in length (Bennett 2010, 572). Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision : 09 November 2011
- OF001-015: Cremation pit, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF001-015----. Testing was carried out by David Bayley of Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd under licence No. E2674 as part of an archaeological mitigation programme associated with the N6 Kilbeggan to Athlone dual carriageway. The site was identified during testing undertaken by Fintan Walsh of IAC Ltd in August 2005 (A016/029). The site was excavated in February 2006. An excavation area measuring 30m by 20m was opened. The site comprised one small pit that contained charcoal-rich silty clay and some heat-affected stone. The pit was 1.05m in length, 0.58m in width and 0.28m in depth. It was orientated north-east/south-west. No function could be determined for it. The remainder of the activity on site was all deemed to be post-medieval in nature. It comprised three north-east/south-west-oriented linear features that were probable boundaries or cultivation furrows and eight north-west/south-east-oriented linear cultivation furrows. Further features included two pits, possible bush boles (which were cut into one of the north-east/south-west-oriented furrows) and a small charcoal spread, all of which were probably caused by field clearance burning. Finds included a single iron object and several pieces of clay-pipe stem (Bennett 2010, 572). Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 10 November 2011
- OF001-016: Charcoal-making site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF001-016----. Testing was carried out by David Bayley of Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd under licence No. E2675 as part of an archaeological mitigation programme associated with the N6 Kilbeggan to Athlone dual carriageway. The site was identified during testing undertaken by Yvonne Whitty of IAC Ltd in July 2005 (A016/029). The site was excavated in February 2006. An excavation area measuring 10m by 10m was opened. The site comprised a single hearth feature, 1.17m in length, 1.17m in width and with a depth of 0.14m. The exact function of this hearth could not be determined during the course of the excavation. It may have functioned as a charcoal clamp, providing charcoal for use in other activities, such as smelting metals (Bennett 2010, 572).

Testing was carried out by David Bayley of Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd under licence No. E2676 as part of an archaeological mitigation programme associated with the N6 Kilbeggan to Athlone dual carriageway. The site was identified during testing undertaken by Yvonne Whitty of IAC Ltd in August 2005 (A016/029). The site was excavated in February 2006. An excavation area measuring 15m by 15m was opened. The site comprised a possible small triangular structure measuring 1m by 1m. Two possibly related stake-holes, located 1m apart, with an average depth of c. 95mm were also recorded. The remaining two features identified on site were a pit and an isolated post-hole. Nothing to indicate a date or function for the site was recovered during the excavation (Bennett 2010, 572).
