• TS059-087 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved pasture, on a N-facing slope. Circular area (map dims. c. 30m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) defined by scarp (Wth 2-3m; H 1.2-1.55m) intervening fosse (Wth 6.3m; D 0.45m) WNW-SW and outer bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.4m) visible at NNE only and obscured by vegetation NNE-ESE. The fosse has been deepened and widened (Wth 6.7m; D 1.2m) SW-WNW in antiquity, possibly to create the field boundary to the W. There is a possible entrance (Wth 4m) at N. The interior has a gentle NE-facing slope and is obscured by dense vegetation in the NE half. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS059-119 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved pasture, on a ridge (long axis c. E-W). It is depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 27m) and on the 1904 ed. as an oval area (dims. c. 40m E-W; c. 24m N-S) defined by scarp with an adjoining oval area (dims. c. 26m N-S; c. 32m E-W) to the NE which is depicted as a depression. The enclosure is not visible above ground level. According to local information, a sand and gravel pit was excavated here (D c. 4ft) and c. 4 or 5 waste mounds were cast up around it; the area was subsequently reinstated years ago.

• TS059-121001 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved pasture, on the N side of a low rise. The remains of an oval area (dims. c. 24m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by low scarp (Wth 5.25m; H 0.4m) W-N-E and levelled from E-S-W where the monument was probably cut into the NE-facing hillslope. The interior is uneven. It is depicted on the 1st (1840) and 1904 ed. OS 6-inch map as one of a pair of circular enclosures (diam. c. 40m) and clearly visible on aerial photographs taken in 1969 and 1974 (CUCAP AYO 47, 10-07-1969; GSI R. 436/6, 16-04-1974). The monument has been completely levelled. The enclosing fosse is visible as a crop mark on a later aerial photographs (ASIAP (34)10, 12, 13, 03/08/1996; ASIAP (302) 30, 33, 13-09-2002). There is another enclosure (TS059-121002-) c. 10m to the SSE. The field boundary which ran E-W c. 15m to the N has been removed. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 October 2013

• TS059-121002 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved pasture, on a low rise. The remains of an oval area (dims. c. 20m N-S; c. 24m E-W) defined by traceable remains of low scarp (Wth 7.75m; H 0.7m) ESE-W-ENE and completely levelled out ENE-ESE. The interior has a SW-facing slope. It is depicted on the 1st (1840) and 1904 ed. OS 6-inch map as one of a pair of circular enclosures (diam. c. 40m) and clearly visible on aerial photographs taken in 1969 and 1974 (CUCAP AYO 47, 10-07-1969; GSI R. 436/6, 16-04-1974). The monument has been completely levelled. The enclosing fosse is visible as a crop mark on a later aerial photographs (ASIAP (34)10, 12, 13, 03/08/1996; ASIAP (302) 34, 36, 13-09-2002). There is another enclosure (TS059-121001-) c. 10m to NNW, on a slightly higher elevation. There are the remains of an old field boundary (long axis E-W) which has been reduced to scarp across the field, c. 14m to the S. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 October 2013

• TS059-125 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on an elevated area of field, in the grounds of Kilfeakle House. An oval area (dims. 53m NE-SW; 43m NW-SE) defined by a substantial curvilinear estate wall (H c. 2.8m; Wth c. 0.7m) from SSW-NE and by a scarp (Wth 4.5m; H 1.25m) from NE-SSW. The wall is constructed of rubble limestone and mortar and has projecting columns of red brick (Wth 0.35m; Wth of projection 0.1m) at regular intervals (3.65m) W-NE. The scarp is grass covered and stepped. The step may have functioned as an estate trackway which continues in a linear alignment along the sections of the wall which extend from NE and S. The stepped nature of the scarp may be part of an enclosure that has been landscaped and incorporated into an estate feature. The interior slopes from the wall to the centre where it levels off. It is slightly uneven in places and the hollow in the W quadrant appears to have been a tree socket. According to local information, the estate wall is known as 'Marshall's Wall', named after the landowners. Two enclosures (TS059-121001 and TS059-121002-) are 180m and 130m to the NW respectively.

• TS059-142 Church
  Description

  In improved pasture, on a low rise. According to the OS Letters 'An elevation where the walls stood still remains and shows their foundation, from which it appears the building was forty feet [12m] in length by six[t]een feet [4.9m] in breadth. The scythe shaved grass off this very spot this season, the ground around it being used as meadow ground. There is not the slighest appearance of a burying place or of any graves here' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 101). The name 'Kilfeakle' refers to the church of the tooth, as supposedly St. Patrick's tooth fell out in the nearby ford and was kept as a relic in the church (ibid.). The land is slightly uneven across this area of the field, but there are no definitive features. A field boundary (long axis E-W) to the W of the monument has been removed. There is no visible trace of this church above ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS059-143 Castle - tower house
  Description

  In a flat river valley with a stream running N-S c. 70m to the W, the land rises to E of the tower house and across the river to the W, in an area of rock outcrop, in pasture. The tower house (int. dims. 7.87m N-S; 5.64m E-W; wall T 2.3m) was probably at least four storeys high, constructed of limestone rubble, roughly coursed. It survives to first-floor level with a vault over the first floor. The exterior is heavily overgrown with ivy. According to the OS Letters, 'At the northeast and northwest, the corners of the building present to the view, each a round tower, form outside' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 106(291)) by which is meant that the tower house has rounded corners, as mentioned in the I.T.A. Survey (1943). There may be the remains of the second floor but the area above the vault is obscured by ivy. The tower house was entered through a doorway in the S wall. This doorway, together with the external S wall has collapsed and there is a lot of rubble within the interior at the S end. There appears to have been an entrance lobby and portion of an internal S wall (T 0.85m) survives with evidence of a spiral stairs in the SE angle. The presence of a guardroom to the W of the entrance lobby is suggested by the survival of a wall-cupboard in the external face of the surviving S wall, which was formerly the N wall of the guardroom. The ground floor was lit by three windows, one in the N, E and W walls. Only the E loop survives intact, it is flat-headed with an external chamfer. The other loops have been broken out. There are three wall-cupboards in the main chamber, one at either end of the W wall and one at the E end of the N wall. The first floor was carried on a wooden floor supported on corbels on the E and W walls and was lit by a single loop in the N wall. There is a hole in the vault towards the N end and the S end of the vault has collapsed. On the 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map a lime kiln is indicated immediately S of the tower house and another adjacent to the W wall. A small building is shown projecting eastward from the S end of the E wall and a trackway runs past the S side of the tower house leading to a quarry 160m to the SSE. According to the OS Letters, 'On the east wall outside is an opening twelve [3.6m] or fourteen feet [4.2m] in height from the ground, which gives ingress to a flight of stairs that ascends in the centre of the wall in a northward direction the whole of the present height of the Castle. Under this opening there is built up against the wall a thatched cabin (it looks more like a shed than a regularly built cabin) where stone steps, it is probable, led up to it originally. The wall is somewhat battered around the opening' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 106). Due to the heavy growth of ivy on the external E wall no traces of these features described in the OS Letters were visible. However, the I.T.A. Survey (1943) mentions a garderobe in the E wall.
