• OF011-035001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Large bi-vallate enclosure consisting of a central flat area (c. 36m E-W) raised well above the surrounding ground surface and delimited by two large fosses and an intervening bank. Some evidence for an outer bank. Entrance gap with ramp at E. Small earthen mound (OF011-035002-) outside line of inner fosse would appear to have been built by the Marquis of Downshire c. 1825 (O'Flanagan 1933, 34). The bank is very wide and flat-topped and was probably landscaped at the same time. On the E facing slope of Ballykilleen Hill with good extensive views. Large impressive multivallate ringfort which consists of a raised circular platform (diam 35m; ext. H 3m) enclosed by three substantial earthen banks with two intervening fosses with wide flat berm (Wth 11m) between the first and second banks probably the result of 19th-century landscaping with low earthen mound (OF011-035002-) also of 19th-century construction (O' Flanagan 1933 Vol. 1, 34) on enclosing berm at W. The circular platform is enclosed by a deep fosse (int. D 3m; Wth 2m) with enclosing outer bank (int. H 1m; Wth 1.5m) which has been landscaped to produce an intervening berm which is not visible at N. The second bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1m) with external fosse (Wth 2m; D 2m) is not visible at E probably due to the natural slope of the hill. Outside this fosse there is a third bank (Wth 0.9m; int. H 1m) with enclosing external fosse (Wth 2m; int. D 1m) visible from SSE through W to N elsewhere it is destroyed. Impressive causewayed entrance (Wth 3m) at E. The site has an overall maximum diameter of 122m. Recently described in the Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland as following; 'Near the modern town of Edenderry, a circular contour fort with a total site footprint of approximately 1ha in commanding position on an isolated hilltop surrounded by level terrain in all directions. The fort overlooks the Figile River to the SE and the Doden River to the W. Trivallate for the entire circuit, with a simple entrance gap in the E. In interior is raised approximately 3m above the external ground level. There is no evidence for any internal features on the surface. The ramparts survive well, although the outer ditch has been damaged in the SE, E and NE. Interior under scrub and dense tree cover. First map depiction in first edition Ordnance Survey mapping. More detailed earthwork survey in second edition Ordnance Survey mapping. Site survey by O'Brien and Sweetman in 1997.'

  Description

  Large bi-vallate enclosure (OF011-035001-) consisting of a central flat area raised well above the surrounding ground surface and delimited by two large fosses and an intervening bank. Some evidence for an outer bank. Entrance gap with ramp at E. Small earthen mound (H. c. 3.5m; Dims at top 1m x 8m) outside line of inner fosse would appear to have been built by the Marquis of Downshire c. 1825 (O'Flanagan 1927 34). The bank is very wide and flat-topped and was probably landscaped at the same time. Described in the OS Letters of 1838 as 'In Ballykillan [see Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly pp.28 ] Townland in this parish, there is a moat, which was planted about twelve years ago by the Marquis of Downshire, to whom a small moat 12 yards = 36 feet by 8 yards = 24 feet in extent, being of an oblong form and made in the foss on the west side of the large moat, owes its erection. On the summit of this small moat is a cavity made by persons who were digging into its centre for treasure, of which they are said to have dreamed; and in this cavity lie some stones thrown up during the process of digging, which circumstance indicates the moat to be composed of stones and earth. How preposterous to go search for treasure in a monument erected merely for curiosity at so late a period! The large moat is about 40 yards = 120 feet in diameter, and is surrounded with a ditch 4 yards = 12 feet wide at bottom, and with a foss 230 or 240 yards = 690 or 720 feet in circumference. Not far from this moat to the west is another of small size, which is likewise under plantation.' (O'Flanagan 1927, vol. 1 34). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 23 May 2011

• OF019-120 Road - class 2 togher
  Description

  The site (L 49.4m; Wth 2.64m min.; D 0.1m) is orientated E-W. It is constructed of transversely laid pieces of mixed brushwood and a roundwood, set up to two pieces deep. Within the structure are gaps of up 0.24m between the transverses which are partially filled by pieces of light brushwood. The site lies in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with occasional Eriophorum. At the W limit of the site, its character varies in the size and arrangement of elements. This may indicate separate structures or further structures within this area associated with the complex, SMR OF019-053---- to the S. SMR OF019-123---- is 2.3m to the W and SMR OF019-124---- may partially underlie this site at its W extent. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin).

• OF019-125 Structure - peatland
  Description

  This site was located in the industrial peatlands of Cloncreen Bog. It was recorded in the 2013 Peatland Reassessment Survey as a structure, located in the NE extent of the bog, and described to be composed of possibly displaced E-W orientated timber, roundwood, and brushwood, as well as a single N-S orientated brushwood. It was found in moderately humified Sphagnum peat (Whitaker 2014). The original find spot was relocated by GPS in 2014 (excavation licence: 14E0255), but no in situ remains were visible. A fragment of ash was chosen for AMS dating and returned a result of cal. 1929-1750 BC (UB 26602). Compiled by: Jane Whitaker/Femke Vleeshouwer Date of upload: 25/02/2020
