• ME021-013 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated on a fairly level landscape, and at the N edge of rath (ME021-013001-). St Columbkille’s Well is marked only on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is depicted with a tree beside it, but it had been closed and a pumphouse erected over it before 1987 (French 2012, 18). In the late 1930s it was known to have had an ash tree with no leaves, and a stone wall had been built around it within living memory. The well had a cure for ague or fever, and some cures were known from drinking the water. The pattern was held on the second Sunday in August when decades of the Rosary were said while the well was circumambulated, but it had been discontinued for many years before the 1930s.

• ME021-013001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45m NW-SE) defined by a fosse feature E-S-NW is visible on Google Earth (06/06/2018; 27/06/2019). The perimeter is less certain NW-E and no entrance feature is visible. It is also faintly visible on Digital Globe (c. 2013) where three ditch features (int. diam. c. 25m) can be seen, and the W arc of a fosse cuts across the E part of the interior. The holy well (ME021-013----) is at the NE edge of the rath. It was first reported by Tom Condit. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 10 October 2019

• ME021-031 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a fosse feature S-W-NE is visible on Google Earth (06/06/2018). There is an entrance gap (Wth c. 3m) at N and the fosse extends NNE (visible L c. 20m) from the W side of this gap. An outer fosse, separated from the inner SW-N by the lighter colouring of the crop on the site of an earthen bank, is also present. It was first reported by Tom Condit.

• ME021-032 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a fairly level landscape. The faint cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (int. dims c. 40m E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by a slight and uncertain fosse is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. The fosse has many interruptions but a gap (Wth c. 8m) at E could be an original entrance. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
