Recorded monuments

• OF012-005001 Church
  Description

  No obvious remains of a church in the burial ground but the central area is raised which might indicate foundation levels of a building. (O'Flannagan 1927, 30) Motte OF012-006001-) lies just to the E. Located on N facing slope of a hill in undulating pasture land with large impressive Motte (OF012-006001-) to the E. In the W sector of the graveyard (OF012-005002-) there are the grass covered remains of N and E portions of a wall of roughly faced stones which may be the remains of a possible church (O'Flanagan 1927, 30). The N wall is 6m long, while the E wall is 2m long. The walls are an average of 0.75m high. No other architectural features visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011

• OF012-005002 Graveyard
  Description

  Located on N facing slope of a hill in undulating pasture land with large impressive Motte (OF012-006001-) to the E. In the W sector of the graveyard here are the grass covered remains of N and E portions of a wall of roughly faced stones which may be the remains of a possible church (OF012-005001-) (O'Flanagan 1927, 30).

• OF012-006001 Castle - motte and bailey
  Description

  Flat topped mound (8m E-W, 8.50m N-S, H c. 5m, max basal diam. c. 27m)in prominent position, remains of ditch at S, SW and E situated 3m out from base of mound, may be of fairly recent origin. Burial ground and possible church site (OF012-005001-) lies just to the W. Located on top of Drumcooly Hill with good extensive views and nearby burial ground and church site (OF012-005001-) to the E with ballykilleen multi-ramparted ringfort (OF011-035----) visible to the S. The site consists of a circular flat topped mound (H 3.9m; diam top 8m; base diam 27m) enclosed by a partially filled in fosse (Wth 1.5m; D 0.5m) visible from E to S only with attached D-shaped Bailey (100m E-W; 50m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; ext. H 1.5m; int. H 1m). A modern feature to the site was the construction of a water tower within the bailey to the W of the motte. It may have been during its construction that the fosse was filled in. Another alteration to the site seems to have been the building of a road to the S of the motte which clips the S bank of the bailey. Prior to the construction of this road the bailey may have extended further S to encompass the top of Drumcooly hill. The bailey is depicted as being circular on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map before later road alterations. The faint outline of the levelled bailey can still be seen in the field to the S of the public road. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011

• OF012-006002 Enclosure
  Description

  Originally the motte (OF012-006001-) was situated in the centre of a circular enclosure that acted as its bailey. It is not clear of this enclosure pre-dates the motte or is a circular bailey that is contemporary with the motte. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
