Recorded monuments

• KK012-039001 Burial
  Description

  On a long N-S running ridge, under either tillage or grass. There is good local visibility. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 373-4), 'The Four Masters enter a battle fought here [on Graine Hill] between the Eoghanachta, a tribe seated in Cashel, and the Ossorians' in A.D. 891. He goes on to state that, 'Evidences of this battle, in the shape of human bones, have frequently come to light all over the top of the Hill, especially in the "Top of the Cross" field, where two large grave-pits full of human remains were come upon in 1890'. There is no local knowledge of these burials. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 11 June 2019

• KK012-039002 Field boundary
  Description

  According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 373), Graine Hill is, 'divided at the top by a long, straight fence, resembling a rampart, very strong and very old, running north and south'. The earthwork in question is a large field boundary, probably a forerunner of the county boundary as is suggested by Carrigan. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 11 June 2019

• KK012-039003 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 373) in reference to Graine Hill, 'A very ancient highway from Munster crosses over the top of the Hill...This road divides the Hill into two nearly equal parts, leaving that to the south in the present townland of Ballinascarry [Ballynascarry], and that to the north in Glounreeagh [Glenreagh]'. There is currently insufficient evidence to warrant its inclusion as an archaeological monument. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 11 June 2019
