• LI019-098 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on low-lying level ground. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m), has been levelled. It is now evident as oval area (35m N-S; 30m E-W) of clover enclosed by parched band of grass (Wth 5.7m) NW->WNW along line of removed bank. Break in grass band (Wth 7m) at NW may indicate position of entrance. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LI019-101 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on very gentle ESE-facing slope. Monument, depicted on 1841 OS 6-inch map as circular (diam. c. 50m) enclosure, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. This is probably site described by Westropp (1916-17, 35) as 'an interesting dun 90 feet across, with two lofty pillars 8 feet to 10 feet high, leaning towards each other' but which had been 'levelled, being just traceable' and the pillars 'broken up' (LI019-244----).

• LI019-102001 Church
  Description

  Westropp (1904-5, 398) recorded the following details about Dunmoylan Church; 'Dunmolyn, 1291 ; Donmelyn, 1302; Dunmuilin, 1410; Dunmolyn, in O'connyll, 1452 (rental);Dunmaoilin, 1568 and 1580 (A.F.M.); Drumvoylin, 1615 a; Killearg, Dunmoylan, and Kilcoulman were granted to Sir T. Chambrelan, May, 1670 (Act Sett.). It belonged to Manisternegaylagh (see supra, 134). Fabric - The south wall alone stood in 1840. The foundations are 42 feet [12.8m] by 18 feet [5.5m]. The south window and door are defaced, but the blocks of the latter show a round-headed, neatly moulded door with rosettes (circa 1500), walls 11 feet [3.35m] by 3 feet [0.9m]. It was ruined, but the walls entire, and had a west window and south door in 1657 (D. S. (B.), p. 3); near it is Tobereendowney well. The nearly-levelled dun (LI019-103----) to the north is 90 feet [27.4m] across.' Church described in 1840 as following; 'The south wall remains but barely the foundation of the rest of the building can be traced. It was forty two feet long by eighteen feet in breadth. On the wall which now remains, and at the distance of five feet [1.5m] from the site of the east gable, there was a window which is now disfigured. The doorway was on the same wall, ten feet [3m] from the west gable, it is also disfigured, the only part remaining uninjured being the inside (inner arch), which is in the pointed style and formed of thin flags. The wall is about eleven feet [3.35m] high, three feet [0.9m] in thickness, and formed of large and small stones irregularly laid and cemented with gravel and lime mortar. There are at present no interments made at this old church' (OSL, 11). A tower-house like castle (LI019-243----) standing beside Dunmoylan church is depicted standing in the NE quadrant of Dunmoylan on the 1658 Down Survey map of the Barony of Connello (NLI, MS 718).

• LI019-102002 Moated site
  Description

  In pasture 30m N of Dunmoylan Church (LI019-102001-) and 240m S of ringfort (LI019-103----). Not depicted on OS Maps. Enclosure visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 where it consists of a rectangular-shaped area (approx. dims. 75m N-S x 65m E-W) enclosed by a bank with possible traces of an external fosse visible at N only. Possible sunken road leading from public road to NW corner of earthwork clearly visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 14/09/2009. This imagery also shows the W boundary of the enclosure continues S to the public road for a distance of approx. 50m.

• LI019-103 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on gentle SE-facing slope towards stream. Circular area (32m N-S; 33.7m E-W) enclosed by two concentric banks with an intervening fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.8m). Inner earthen bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.65m), best preserved NW->NE, lowers ESE->SE where there is a causeway across fosse (Wth 6.1m). Outer earth-and-stone bank (ext. H 0.3m), best preserved SW->ESE, is not evident SSE->SSW. Fosse becomes very shallow SSW->SSE, probably because infilled with levelled outer bank material at this point. Level interior under pasture. An earthen bank (H 0.6m) abuts outer bank at ESE; this travels for 14m in SSE direction before turning E and running for a further 31m where it is truncated by a dry-stone field wall.

• LI019-108 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope. Site is contained within small field immediately S of public road. Oval area (34.5m N-S) defined by scarped edge, outer earthen bank and intervening fosse (Wth 2.6m). Scarped edge (H 0.5m; Wth 3.3m), best preserved along S arc, lowers at N (H 0.2m). Outer bank (int. H 0.9m; ext. 0.6m) is overlain by ruinous stone wall NNW->NE; otherwise bank is masked by dense overgrowth. Break in bank (Wth 2.5m), matched by dip in scarp, at E. According to tradition 'this fort is said to have been used as a burying place for children' (OSNB vol. 1, 105). No trace of burials now evident though most of interior is covered by dense overgrowth. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
