Recorded monuments

• KE038-014 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  See field inspection report (diary NF6, 58-61) (SMR file). According to the report, this is a levelled enclosure. Depicted as a small earthwork possibly a barrow type earthwork intersected at W by a field boundary running N-S.

• KE038-111 Mound
  Description

  'Located on a south facing boggy, mountainside, which has splendid views southwards, especially towards the two mountain top cairns on Knockawaddra, in an area which has undergone turf cutting, is a long oval-shaped mound. It is aligned NNE/SSW and is 23.0m in total length. It is 13.0m in width and has a maximum height of 2.00m at centre. This mound is slightly lower at both ends, giving the overall appearance of an upturned boat. Probing with a ranging rod did not reveal the presence of stone in the first few centimeters of sod cover. However, the remains of a turf banks in the immediate vicinity show the depth of turf in this area to be, at most 0.50m, before the original scree slope of the mountain is encountered. Therefore this mound is an anomaly, and it is now covered in a growth of grass and heather. It seems to be aligned directly between the two mountain top cairns to the south west.'

• KE038-112 Field boundary
  Description

  'These features were identified from aerial photography but proved difficult to identify at ground level because of the numerous hollows and undulations in the field. The banks run mainly, in an east-west direction and varying in length from around 15m to 60m.' Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97. Date of upload: 03 May 2012
