• MA112-044 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  In pasture, located at the break of slope on a N–facing slope, which falls to a flat expanse of lowlying wettish pasture. The views to SW, the direction in which the tomb faced, are not extensive, with ground rising to a low ridge in the middle distance. There is a rath (MA112-045----) 20m to SE in the same field, and cist (MA112-108----) is located 100m to SE. This wedge tomb, which is indicated on the 1929 OS 6-inch map as 'Dolmen', was destroyed in February 2019. There is now no visible trace at ground level. The tomb consisted of a gallery/burial chamber (L 9.5m; Wth 1.4m) defined by a double wall of upright slabs or orthostats, roofed by flat slabs. It was oriented NE–SW, with the entrance at SW, and was enclosed by remnants of a sod-covered cairn or mound (overall L c. 16m; Wth 7.5m at SW; c. 4.5m at NE) . The attached document includes a detailed description, plan and photograph of how the tomb looked when recorded by Ruaidhrí de Valera and Seán Ó Nualláin in Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland.

• MA112-045 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  This truncated rath, probably originally oval or circular in plan, survives as a slightly raised, roughly semicircular area (c. 50m E–W; c. 30m N–S bank to road) defined at W−NE by an arc of bank (Wth 1.7-3m; int. H 0.25-0.5m; ext. H 0.6-0.85m). The bank is of earth and stone, with an external kerb of large stones in parts at W–N. The stone kerb may be a later modification. At NW–NNE the bank has a stepped profile. At NE-E the bank has been replaced by a N–S post and wire fence which borders a residential property. The S portion of the rath is truncated by the E–W Ballindine-Irishtown road (R328). According to local information, there is a souterrain (MA112-045001) in the W half of the interior. In 2001 during archaeological monitoring (01E0314) of pipe-laying on the on the Lough Mask Regional Water Supply Scheme (2001-2002), two shallow cuts (max. Wth 2.85m; max. D 1m), c. 30m apart, were exposed in section in the pipe trench (Wth c. 1m) at a depth of c. 1m below road level (Guinan 2015, 126-127). The pipe trench was located on the S side of the E-W Ballindine-Irishtown road (R328), which truncates the S side of the rath, and the cuts were interpreted as the surviving basal sections of the enclosing fosse on the S side of the rath (MA112-045----). Both features were recorded and preserved in situ. Radiocarbon analysis of a sample of charcoal taken from the base of the E cut produced a date of 115 +/- 50 BP (780-1020 AD calibrated) (Guinan ibid., 126-127). In 2002 further evidence of the enclosing elements of the rath were uncovered during road-widening adjacent to the rath (Guinan 2010, 319-320, no. 1224; 2015, 127). A narrow strip (3m N−S; 40m E−W) of land was excavated parallel to, and immediately N of, the E-W road. Evidence for two fosses were uncovered, one internal to the rath bank, and the other external. The internal fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 1.9m) had a V-shaped cut which was filled with alternate layers of stones and silt. The external fosse (Wth 1.9m; D 2.05m) had vertical sides and a flat base that sloped to S. A shallow, subcircular pit (1.65m E−W; 0.85m N−S; D 0.25m) was also uncovered, containing layers of heat reddened clay, charcoal and burnt timber fragments. Finds recovered during the excavation included a perforated stone bead, several lithics, and animal bones (Guinan 2010, 319-320, no. 1224).

• MA112-045001 Souterrain
  Description

  Located in a rath (MA112-045----). According to local information, a low sod-covered rise (diam. c. 1m), in the W half of the rath interior, marks the location of a blocked up souterrain. In the past, a gap or cavity was visible here, flanked by two stones, possibly in situ roofing lintels. An ephemeral linear feature, extending to WSW is visible immediately to W of the rise; it may indicated the line of the souterrain. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 April 2016
