Recorded monuments

• TS081-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In generally flat terrain in dense woodland of whitethorn, blackthorn and conifers. This monument is depicted as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1st (1843) ed. OS 6-inch map, the E quadrant has since been levelled, as is shown on the 1906 ed. The round-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.2m crest, 6.4m base; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.15m), covered in undergrowth, is visible from the S-W-N. There is an area of small scale quarrying in the NE and possible upcast surrounding this.

• TS081-012 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the flat crest ofa ridge with the ground sloping beyond this to the SE, in tillage. There are a number of ringforts in the vicinity, the closest (TS081-013----) is c. 180m to SE but is not visible due to hedgerow. The ringfort is heavily overgrown with scrub and brambles, the interior was not accessible. The monument, which appears roughly oval on the 1st (1843) and 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map (diam. c. 37m N-S; c. 48m E-W), is enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 1.3m crest, c. 3m base; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.4m). There is no clear evidence of an external fosse and the entrance could not be located due to heavy vegetal cover. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 January 2014

• TS081-013 Enclosure
  Description

  On a very gradual NW-facing slope in fairly flat terrain, under tillage. Cairn (TS081-032----) is visible upslope to S. Very disturbed, roughly circular (diam. 45m NW-SE) enclosure. The E side has been levelled and the bank on the W side is incorporated into or defined by a curving field boundary, partially earthen bank, partially stone wall. Large boulders of uprooted bedrock have been piled up on the low, curving earthen field boundary (Wth 0.9m crest, 1.3m base; int. H 0.53m; ext. H 0.64m) in the NW quadrant. The W side is not tilled but is very overgrown with brambles. The monument was inspected in 1956 and described as a tree-ring 'the area is characterised by rock outcrop and was formerly planted with larches...the site is bounded by a dug stone wall, which it is proposed to remove. This site has no archaeological interest and may be included in the Land Project schemes' (OPW Correspondance Files 14.2.1956). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 January 2014

• TS081-026 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a SE facing slope, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Circular area (diam. 34.3m N-S; E-W not obtainable due to heavy bramble growth, particularly in W quadrant) enclosed by a high, steep, earthen bank (Wth 1.8m crest, c. 5m base; int. H c. 3m; ext. H 1.7m). In the interior the N quadrant has been quarried into (D 1.08m) which accentuates the height of the bank. Entrance in the S quadrant (Wth 2m), the bank reduces in size towards the entrance. The whole bank is heavily overgrown with scrub. There was an outer fosse but this has been filled-in. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS081-028 Enclosure
  Description

  On a gradual W-facing slope, off the crest of a hill in gently undulating pastureland. The monument is depicted as a roughly oval enclosure on the 1st (1843) ed. OS 6-inch map (dims. c. 42m N-S; c. 24m E-W at S, tapering to c. 14m E-W at the N) but is not marked on the subsequent 1906 ed. The enclosure has been levelled with no visible trace above ground. There are a lot of subtle undulations in the field. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 January 2014

• TS081-029001 Enclosure
  Description

  In fairly flat terrain, sloping slight to NW, in pastureland. An enclosure (TS081-029002-) is located 30m to the SW. Though the enclosure has been levelled it is barely discernible as a slightly raised, roughly circular area (diam. 35.7m N-S; 37m E-W), the S side is more pronounced. On the 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map the enclosure is erroneously depicted immediately north of the adjacent enclosure. On the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map only the W quadrant of the monument is depicted and the enclosure is bisected by a field boundary, which is now gone. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 January 2014

• TS081-029002 Enclosure
  Description

  In fairly flat terrain in gently undulating pastureland. An enclosure (TS081-029001-) is located 30m to the NE. Enclosure levelled but visible as a slight flattened bank (Wth 6m; int. H 0.27m; ext. H 0.14m). A curving kink in the field boundary, running NW-SE, respects or incorporates the NW quadrant of the monument. The field boundary consists of an earthen bank with a stone revetting, surmounted by hedgerow. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 January 2014

• TS081-032 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  On a gentle W-facing slope on relatively flat ground in gently rolling terrain, field recently planted with winter corn. A cairn (TS075-064----) is visible on the Galtee Mountains, c. 5.5km to the NNE, the Knockmealdown Mountains dominate the view to the S. Large oval, steep-sided cairn (dims. 21m NW-SE; 9.5m NE-SW; max. H 2.25m) aligned NW-SE. The top of the cairn (dims. 10.3m NW-SE; 6m NE-SW) has a hollow at the SE end which may be the result of a collapsed internal chamber. Composed of loose stones, all sandstone, average c. 20cm in diam. Cairn is too large to be a result of field clearance. A similar cairn is located 340m to the SSE.

• TS081-077 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

It has gently sloping sides (H 2.11m). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 15 January 2014
