• TS059-053001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  In lush pasture, overlooking the Multeen river valley to the N. The castle is located within a much denuded enclosure (TS059-053002-) and there is a small pond to the SSW. In 1569 there is a reference to the castle at 'Doneskeoghe' (Butler 1914, 11). The castle is depicted in the Down Survey map (1655-6) and the Civil Survey (1654-6) states that the castle was on lands leased by Sir Phillip Percival and owned by Richard Butler of Kilcash in 1640, and is described as being 'out of repayre' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 13). The castle consists of a level square knoll (dims. 11.6m E-W; 9m N-S) defined by a gentle scarp (max. Wth 7.5m; max. H 1m) on all sides. The knoll probably covers the lower courses of the castle foundations. Some stones and masonry are exposed on the E side, near the base of the knoll where livestock have eroded the ground surface. The OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 93) describe 'the site of a castle but none of the walls are perfect, nor can the extent of the building be ascertained'.

• TS059-053002 Enclosure
  Description

  In lush pasture, overlooking the Multeen river valley to the N. A much ruined castle (TS059-053001-) is located within an denuded enclosure which is defined by a low bank (int. H 0.15m; int. Wth 2m; Wth at top 6.5m) which has been levelled off down a natural scarp (Wth 39m; H 5m) at the E end of the N side (L c. 22m), with a return at the N end of the E side (L c. 30m). The visible remains are located c. 13m to the N and 18m to the E of the castle. On the 1904 ed. OS 6-inch map the scarp is indicated to the E and W of the castle. The remains are very scant and not clearly visible due to lush grass. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 05 December 2011

• TS059-054 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved pasture, on a low, natural rise of a SE-facing slope. Levelled remains of an oval area (dims. 43m NW-SE; 26m NE-SW) defined by traces of scarp which have been levelled off into the natural rise. It is visible as the curvilinear scarp (Wth 7.8m; H 0.8m) of a natural rise ESE-SSW and barely traceable possible scarp (Wth 2.75m; H 0.15m) from SSW-NNW. The irregular side to the NE also appears to fall with the natural slope. It is depicted on the 1840 and 1904 edition OS 6-inch map as a sub-oval enclosure truncated by a road across the NE sector. It is possibly the earthen fort mentioned by Flanagan (1930, 93) as 'Dún na Sciath', the location of which is depicted on the 1904 map c. 270m to the NE as 'Dunnasgiath (Site of)'.

• TS059-055001 Church
  Description

  In improved pasture, at the base of a NE-facing slope, c. 50m to the SW of the Multeen River. The church is not visible at ground level but there are small, loose stones scattered over this area of field and the scant remains of a levelled field boundary, running ENE-WSW, across the area of the monument. A land drain (long axis c. NW-SE) flanks the area of the monument to the NE. It is named on the 1904 edition OS 6-inch map as 'Dunnasgiath (Site of)' and according to the OS Letters (O' Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 93), 'A short distance to the northwest [should read east] of this Hill of Dun na Sgiath [TS059-054----] there is a spot covered in thorns believed to be the site of a Church, and about thirty paces to the south of it is a holy well called Tobar Lachtin'. This holy well (TS059-055002-) is c. 25m to the SE. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS059-055002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In improved pasture, at base of a NE-facing slope, in a hollow defined by some loose boulders and mature deciduous trees. A keyhole-shaped well (dims. 0.7m NNE-SSE; 0.5m ESE-WNW) defined by a collapsed dry stone wall (H 0.75m). This natural spring well contains water (D 0.16m), with bubbles rising to the surface. There is a cup at the SW side to be used by pilgrims. A channel (long axis E-W) extends (L c. 60m) to the E where it drains into the Multeen River. It is depicted and named on the 1904 edition OS 6-inch map as 'Toberlaghteen' and according to O' Flanagan (1930, 93), 'there is a spot covered in thorns believed to be the site of a church [TS059-055001-], and about thirty paces to the south of it is a holy well called Tobar Lachtin, which was walled round and arched over and which is still visited by pilgrims on Saturdays. A Pattern was annually held here on Corpus Christi Thursday until about thirty years ago when it was abolished.' The church possible (TS059-055001-) is c. 25m to the NW.

• TS059-057 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved pasture. A circular area (dims. 27m NNW-SSE; 28m ENE-WSW) defined by scarp (Wth 3.2m; H 1.5m) from NE-SE and SSW-NW, which is particularly shallow (Wth 5.25m; D 1.1m) from NW-NE, and traces of a bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1.55m) from SE-SSW. There is a possible entrance (Wth 3m) at the ESE. The interior has a gentle S-facing slope. A N-S field boundary runs W of the monument but does not interfer with it. There is a standing stone (TS059-058----) c. 90m to the SW and an enclosure (TS059-059----) c. 110m to the SSE. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS059-058 Standing stone
  Description

  In improved undulating pasture, on a high area of ground. It is named 'Cloghglass' on both the 1840 and 1904 edition OS 6-inch map. Enclosures (TS059-057---- and TS059-059----) are c. 90m to the NE and c. 90m to the SE respectively. The original location of the stone has been quarried, leaving an oval depression (dims. 20m NE-SW; 12m NE-SW; D 1.4m). The limestone standing stone (L 1.15m; 0.7m x 0.5m), now lying prostrate, is located on the N slope of this depression. It tapers towards the top (0.45m x 0.3). The stone is quite weathered, the three exposed faces are generally flat with natural vertical fissures. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS059-059 Moated site
  Description

  In wet, level pasture. Monument identified as a rectangular enclosure on an aerial photograph (GSI R.436/5, 16/04/1974). A rectangular area (dims. 16m NNW-SSE; 26m ENE-WSW) defined by scarp (Wth 0.65m; H 0.15m), an intervening fosse (Wth 2.6-3.35m; D 0.2-0.25m), outer bank ((Wth 7.4-7.45m; int. H 0.2-0.25m; ext. H 0.5-0.6m) and outer fosse (Wth 6.45-6.6m; D 0.15-0.2m) which has been modified where a linear land drain (long axis E-W) is incorporated along the S side. The scarp is best preserved from SE-NW and is reduced to a very low scarp (Wth 0.5m; H 0.05m) from NW-SE. The fosse is best defined from the SSW-WSW. The outer bank (Wth 7.4-7.45m; int. H 0.2-0.25m; ext. H 0.5-0.6m) (L 34m at N; 23m at E; 28m at S; 19m at W) has rounded corners. There is a causeway (Wth 2m) at the SW angle and a possible entrance (Wth 3.5m) at the E end of the N side. The grass-covered interior is uneven, with occasional rushes. There is a possible house site (TS059-059001-) within the SW quadrant. A standing stone (TS059-058----) lies c. 90m to the NW and there is an enclosure (TS059-057----) c. 100m to the NNW.

• TS059-059001 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Within the SW angle of a moated site (TS059-059----) which is located in wet, level pasture. The house consists of a square area (dims. 6.5m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by scarp (Wth 1m; H 0.15m; L 6m) to the N and E and by the scarp of the moated site to the S and W (L 6m). There is an entrance (Wth 0.85m) in centre of the E side. The causeway (Wth 2m) of the moated site is within the SW angle of the fosse, connecting this possible house to the outer bank. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS059-153 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In poorly drained pasture. Monument identified during ASI fieldwork. A circular area (dims. 4.2m N-S; 4m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth 1.45-1.95m; D 0.1-0.15m) and outer bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.1m) evident from E-S. The interior is grass covered and level. Small, slightly higher area of ground to NE. Monument is located on a raised, sub-oval area (dims. c. 17m N-S; 14m E-W) defined by a low scarp. A field boundary c. 14m to the NE is densely overgrown with furze (c. 6-8m deep).
