Recorded monuments

• KE065-019 Castle - tower house
  Description

  In pasture, on a small rise, immediately to the N of Pallis Farm and overlooking the valley of the Laune River. There are no visible remains of the rectangular structure (c. 30m E-W; c. 15m N-S) indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. The area is now occupied by a square enclosure (40m E-W; 38.2m N-S) defined by a bank (Wth 11m; int. H 2.8m; ext. H 3.8m) of earth and stone on its E, S and W sides. The interior slopes gently down to the E and is an irregular undulating area with mounds of earth and stone of no discernible pattern. Some parts are covered in briars and other scrub vegetation. Mature trees are scattered within and cattle have poached the interior. According to local information, the field to the N had a lot of loose stones which are now cleared away. In 1841 it was described as a ruined castle (19ft 6in [5.94m] N-S; c. 35ft [10.66m] E-W), walls (T 6ft 3in [1.9m]) of brown stone, lime and sand mortar and grouted, and with quoins of chamfered limestone (OSL, 484). It was also noted that 'a road jobber removed the materials from the ruin in 1837 to repair the adjoining highway' (OSL, 485). According to local information, the material from the castle was also used to build Pallis Farm nearby to the SE, Beaufort bridge (KE065-125---) and Beaufort House (KE065-118---) to the S. The description of the ruin in 1841 suggests the remains of a tower house. Pallis Castle was a residence of MacCarthy More (Barrington 1976, 218).

• KE065-020 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Laune River. An arc (C 54m E-W) of a low earthen bank (Wth 6.2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.65m) E-W abuts the S side of a farm road and appears to be the S half of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. Mature trees, planted c. 5m out from the base of the bank, respect it. The trees are in turn skirted by a fence E-SE and SW-W and by a high wall SE-SW. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. This is the rath which was recorded in the 1840s as being situated 'five chains' to the S of Pallis Castle (OSNB, Aghadoe, no. 2, 19). Pallis Castle (KE065-019----) is c. 70m to the N.
