• CL035-070 Enclosure
  Description

  On a low-lying gently undulating area, in improved pasture. The monument is overlooked by higher ground W-NE and is overlooking ringfort (CL035-071----) c. 25m to SE. It is depicted on all OS historic mapping and named ‘Knockaclocaun Fort’. It survives as the barely traceable remains of an oval area (32m NW-SE; 26m NE-SW) defined by a levelled bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.15m; Wth at top 4.5m; overall Wth 9.3m) W-NNE. The monument is levelled out with little trace NNE-E. A short trace of a scarp (Wth 4.5m; H 0.45m) is evident E-ESE. The curvilinear field boundary is likely to incorporate the bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.3; Wth at top 0.5m; overall Wth 3.7m) ESE-SW. A short return of a levelled bank extends into the field SW-WSW. A pronounced gap (Wth 9m) WSW-W suggests a possible entrance. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-070----_01.jpg From N. General view of levelled monument; 2m rod either side.

• CL035-071 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a slightly elevated area of a gentle S-facing slope, in improved, gently undulating pasture and overlooking Lecarrow Lough c. 390m to S. Depicted on the OS 25-inch map as an oval area (c. 23 m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a scarp. The monument is engulfed by impenetrable overgrowth of thorn trees thickets and briars, except around the NW arc which is grass covered and defined by a scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.3m). It was not feasible to record any other definition of the enclosing elements due to the dense growth which obscures this monument. There is a naturally formed valley to the immediate E. Enclosure (CL035-070----) is located c. 70m to NW. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-071----_01.jpg From W. General view of monument. CL035-071----_02.jpg From NE. Cross sectional view of scarp at NW. CL035-071----_03.jpg From N. General view of monument. Compiled by: Mary Tunney, Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 10 April 2018
