Recorded monuments

• TS054-016 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In grassland situated on a SE-facing slope of low hillock just below summit of hillock in undulating upland region with good extensive views in all directions. Ringfort consists of a slightly raised circular area (int. diam. 26m N-S; 26m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (base Wth 4.5m; top Wth 2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.6m) and shallow outer fosse (base Wth 1.3m; top Wth 2.6m; ext. D 0.1m ) with possible remains of a much degraded outer bank (Wth 3m ext. H 0.1m) visible on S side only with possible entrance gap (Wth 4m) at SE. Small quarry hole located in NE quadrant of interior (dims. 2.5m x 8m; D 0.5m). External bank and fosse visible on the upslope only from W to N only and not visible on the downslope from E to S. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS054-023 Water mill - unclassified
  Description

  On the S bank of stream on a N-facing slope of rising ground in upland region. The present mill consists of a large 18th/19th-century watermill with triangular-shaped mill pond to E of mill. Corn-drying kiln brick chimney well preserved along S wall of mill. Millwheel now gone but mill race chute visible. Mill was powered by an overshot wheel, mill pond to e of mill now filled in and used as yard for adjoining modern house to E of mill. Mill pond was enclosed by a high earthen bank stone face internally and externally of which only the S bank now survives. The mill race fed this pond through a stone-lined race which entered the base of the mill pond bank at W and exited the top of the mill pond bank at W where it powered the mill wheel. No evidence for any early mill on location of present corn mill. Local mill owner indicated the location of an earlier mill further up stream to the E of the corn mill which may have been the location of the mill mentioned in the Civil Survey of 1654-6 (Simington 1931, vol.1, 134). At the bend in the river there is a cut on the S bank of the river to divert the water into an earth cut channel or mill race which fed a mill building of which only small piles of rubble survive, the tail race is still visible where it returned back to the stream W of the mill. It appears that the mill wheel sat directly into the mill race with no eivdence for a mill pond. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS054-078 Mine
  Description

  In grassland on flat pasture on S bank of small stream in upland region near the village of Ballinunty. No visible remains of ancient coal mines indicated on 1824 map of the area as “Danish excavation” (NLI 16.I.17(1)). Tall spoil heap of coalmining from the 19th century which may have destroyed the evidence of the earlier colamines. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS054-112 Enclosure
  Description

  On the flat top of a hill in undulating terrain, in pasture. There are good to extensive views to N, E and W, though poor to the S where the view is impeded by a neighbouring ridge. A ringfort (TS054-016----) is visible on the hill to the NNW. Identified on OS Ortho and Digitalglobe imagery (viewed 25 September 2017). A much denuded circular area (diam. 25.1m N-S; 24.2m E-W) enclosed by a flattened bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.17m). The entrance was probably in the ESE where there is no evidence of a bank and the interior slopes down to the exterior. There is a slight suggestion of an external fosse (Wth c. 4.5m) in the SW quadrant. The interior slopes slightly to the NE. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 September 2017
