  Description

  In generally level pasture 175m E of a townland boundary with Boherroe. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped earthwork truncated by a farm track to S. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a raised circular-shaped area (diam. 20m) defined by a scarp from SW-W-N-E-SSE best preserved (Wth 3.8m; H 0.9m) from SW-W-N-NE and levelled (Wth 1m; H 0.2m) from NE-E-SSE with possible entrance (overall Wth 6m; basal Wth 1.5m) at NW. Monument is truncated by a track (long-axis E-W) across the S-sector which is cut (D 1.6m) into the hillslope. The interior is level and grass covered. Monument is enclosed on all sides by field boundaries. According to local information it is known as a ‘moat’. Monument is enclosed in a small field and over-shadowed by field boundaries so it is not visible on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, or on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 or on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018. See attached sketch plan and cross-section surveyed and drawn by the ASI in 2008 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.

• LI024-035 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In level pasture on the demense lands of Killeenavera House located 150m to W and 335m NE of a townland boundary with Boherroe. Possible ringfort (LI024-034----) lies 50m to SW. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a small circular-shaped platform (diam. 17m) approx. 5m NW of a small pond. Monument described by O’Dwyer (1964, 98), as a platform (diam. 45ft/13.7m; H 4ft/1.2m). Earthwork surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a slightly raised circular mound (diam. 12m) enclosed by mature trees. According to local information, this was a pond that was backfilled for safety approx. 30 years ago and the level of the ground was raised and deciduous trees planted around the perimeter. It is possible that this may have been a form of barrow prior to backfilling. Monument is visible as a tree-planted area on OSi orthimage taken 2005-2012, Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
