Recorded monuments

• GA112-041 Church
  Description

  In pastureland overlooking a turlough to the E. This very poorly preserved rectangular church (16.75m E-W, 9.8m N-S), possibly of medieval date, is very heavily overgrown. It is constructed of roughly coursed well-mortared large undressed blocks of limestone. Only a short section of the E end of the N side-wall (L 5.9m) and the N end of the W gable (L 3.3m) survive. A small ope (0.4 x 0.2m) is visible in the W gable and the remains of a single-light window embrasure survive in the N wall. There was a graveyard (GA112-041001-) immediately to the S of the church; a children's burial ground (GA112-041002-) is associated with it (Korff and O'Connell 1985).

• GA112-041001 Graveyard
  Description

  In pastureland overlooking a turlough to the E. Shown on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an irregularly shaped graveyard (c. 64m NW-SE; c. 53m NE-SW). A church (GA112-041----), possibly of medieval date, was roughly centrally located within it. The graveyard is delimited by low earthen banks to the W, N and E; the S edge is packed with field-clearance material. It is heavily overgrown. The only visible grave-markers are to the S of the church and they consist of numerous small plain limestone boulders, which may be part of an associated children's burial ground (GA112-041002-) (Korff and O'Connell 1985).

• GA112-041002 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Immediately to the S of a church (GA112-041----) that is possibly of medieval date. According to Korff and O'Connell (1985, 6), the graveyard (GA112-041001-) associated with the church was 'used in more recent times as a children's burial ground'. The numerous graves are marked with small plain limestone boulders. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 3 April 2020

• GA112-042 Enclosure
  Description

  In an area of outcropping limestone and rough pasture. What appeared to be a possible enclosure/cashel on the 1922 edition of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection to be a roughly subcircular enclosure (c. 55m E-W; c. 45m N-S) defined by a single drystone wall breached by several poreens. The interior was divided into a number of small animal pens. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at S opened on to a narrow laneway. The circular nature of the enclosure is striking as noted on an aerial photograph (GASAP Roll 243: 29), suggesting that it may have been built on the line of an earlier enclosure or cashel. The current OSI digitalglobe aerial photograph (March 2012) indicates that the area has since been reclaimed and that the enclosure has been levelled; however, its outline is still visible.

• GA112-043 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  A series of houses and a possible enclosure were noted during aerial reconnaissance (GASAP Roll 243: 30). On inspection they proved to be well-preserved small rectangular houses (L 6.5m; Wth 4.5m) defined by double-faced walls with a rubble core (wall T 0.8m; H 1.5m). Associated haggard and animal pens were also associated. The possible enclosure proved to be a series of lengths of straight walls defining a gully or valley. The houses probably date to the 19th century. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 18 July 2017

• GA112-055 Structure
  Description

  In an area of reclaimed pastureland. A 'circular ring of stones' that may have been the foundation of an 'old dwelling house' was noted in 1968 (SMR file). No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 18 July 2017

• GA112-056 Building
  Description

  In reclaimed pastureland. A small sunken area defined by stones proved on inspection in 1968 to be an old unroofed cart shed (SMR file). No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 18 July 2017

• GA112-058001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In level partially reclaimed rock outcrop and pastureland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 25m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall from S through W to N. A field wall cuts through the monument from N to S and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the E of it. An E-W running field wall (L 30m), which may be contemporary, extends from the cashel wall at SW. Some 20m to SSW, the N half of a another small drystone-built circular enclosure (GA112-058002-) is visible; it may also be associated.

• GA112-058002 Enclosure
  Description

  Some 20m to the SSW of a cashel (GA112-058001-). Only the N half of this small circular drystone-built enclosure (diam. c. 16) is visible. It is defined by a low stony bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.2m). A field wall cuts across it from E to W and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the S of it.
