Recorded monuments

• GA125-031 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in hilly pastureland. Marked on the 1925 edition of the OS 6-inch as a subcircular enclosure (c. 37m NE-SW; c. 35m NW-SE-S). No visible surface trace survives.

• GA125-031001 Souterrain

• GA125-032 Cairn - radial-stone cairn
  Description

  This structure is situated near the top of a ridge in rough pasture land about 0.8km E of the megalithic tombs (GA125-119---, GA125-120----, GA125-128----) in Marblehill (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 21-23, Ga. 26-28). The stone circle (GA125-039----) in Commons East (Ó Nualláin 1983, 148) lies about 3.2km to the SE. Eighteen radially set slabs delimit an oval measuring 7m E-W by 6m N-S. The slabs are 0.5 to lm in length and are exposed to depths varying from 0.4 to lm. McMahon (1978, 79-80) suggested that the circle may have originally consisted of 'twenty-four stones'. Stones exposed within the ring of radials suggest that this is best interpreted as a radial-stone cairn, a type of monument that is generally found associated with the later Bronze Age stone circle complex in SW Ireland. Only twenty examples are known and there is a second example in the county at Rooghaun (GA114-181----), some 23km to the NW just east of Ardrahan.
