This parcel is in the zone of notification of 2 recorded monuments.

• CL011-010 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in a low-lying position on a karst landscape. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Hachured and named ‘Moherlevaun’ on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. On inspection in 2000 this was found to be a subcircular enclosure (int. dims. 73m N-S; 70m NE-SW) of modern construction defined by an ivy-covered drystone wall (Wth 0.6m at NNE to 1m at N; H 1.4m at NW to 1.8m at NNE). At NW the wall is constructed of uncoursed stones with larger boulders at the bottom. There are modern entrances at NE and SW. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 23 March 2016

• CL011-027 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  The monument named 'Sir Donat's Road' on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps runs from Leamaneh at SW to Kiltacky More at NE. It stretches across four OS 6-inch maps and is listed in the RMP (1996) with the record numbers CL010-111---*; CL011-001---*; CL011-017---*; CL011-027----; CL016-121---*; and CL017-023----. This is a routeway associated with Donough O'Brien who was created a Baronet in 1686 and lived at Leamaneh Castle (CL016-032002-). The route runs along both modern tarred roads (Wth 5.5m) and roads with grass margins varying from 1 to 5m wide, some with drystone walls, usually tumbled at the edges and some with double-faced drystone walls. This barely perceptible section of the road/trackway (1.4km N-S; Wth c. 40m) is defined by a very shallow linear depression, in places lined by a slight grass-covered bank (visible on OSi MapGenie 2012-2018). The road/trackway meanders slightly up and down across the landscape without following a convenient labour-saving route. It descends from higher ground at the N down into a sunken area (Kiltacky Beg townland), before rising to the S (into Kylecreen townland) and passing immediately to the W of an enclosure (CL011-010----). The road/trackway then goes up a hill and through a narrow ravine between karstic outcrops. An inspection in 2000 traced it as far as a church (CL011-011----) but it may continue S from here through an area of overgrowth.
