Recorded monuments

• CL015-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a SE-facing rise in improved hilly pasture, with clear views to the S, c. 65m to the W of a small stream and abutting the Carrowmanagh South/Derreen townland boundary to the W. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 eds. OS 6-inch maps and labelled ‘Ballaghboy Fort’ on the latter map. A subcircular rath (44m N-S; 48.5m E-W) defined by an earthen scarp and a partially surviving fosse. The scarp is highest at the SSW (H 2.2m) where the natural ground level slopes downward, and lowest at the NE (H 0.8m). A slight lowering of the scarp at E may indicate a former entrance gap or causeway. A small part of the scarp at NW has been quarried away. The fosse (W 6m) is visible from W to E. The interior slopes down to the SE and is flat and featureless. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Eve Campbell Date of upload: 21 September 2022

• CL015-015 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  At the N boundary of a field of damp pasture, 50m NW of a stream, on the S outskirts of the village of Kilshanny. Marked and labelled ‘St. Senan’s Well’ on the 1840 and 1916 eds. OS 6-inch maps. The OS Letters (Comber 1997, 99) and Westropp (1910, 150) report that the well is dedicated to St Senan, but Lenihan recorded a possible dedication to St Simon (1997, 55). While O’Donovan in the OS Letters reported that the well was ‘entirely neglected’, the Schools Folklore Collection contains several accounts of veneration at the well into the 1930s, summarised by Lenihan (1997). The well was believed to have a cure for sore eyes. No pattern day was associated with site in the 1930s, but the visiting-days were said to be Monday-Friday-Monday or Monday-Thursday-Monday. The rounds comprised the recitation of ‘one Pater, five Aves, one Gloria and the Creed per round’. Water from the well was then drank, rubbed on the eyes or taken home in bottles. The large ash tree at the site was also regarded as ‘being holy’ and it was deemed unlucky to cut its branches (ibid, 55). A holy well, with a SE-facing D-plan drystone wellhouse (H 1.25m; Wth 2m; D 1.7m). Three openings are present in the SE façade of the monument. The lowest opening (H 0.39m; Wth 0.42m; D 0.94m) provides access to the well water. It is roofed by a large flagstone (T 5cm). Two parallel niches (L 0.26m; Wth 0.27m; D 0.24m; and L 0.24m; Wth 0.24m; D 0.28m) are found above the flagstone, probably intended for the placement of votive offerings. A large ash tree growing out of the monument has caused the E corner to collapse. An almost square flagstone (L 0.89m; Wth 0.79m) set in front of the well-opening, serves as a ‘kneeling stone’ facilitating access to the well.
