Recorded monuments
- LI006-022 Ringfort - rath
Description
On gently sloping pasture standing on the townland boundary with Thornfield and 750m S of Knocksentry Hill. The site is described from cartographic and aerial photographic evidence only. Depicted as a circular-shaped area enclosed by a wide berm on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map. Shown as a semi-circular shaped area (approx. int. diam. 60m) defined by a scarp from S-W-N and elsewhere levelled suggesting that the monument was partially levelled between these map dates. However aerial photographic evidence suggests that the enclosing element from E-S still survives as a curving field boundary which is clearly visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13. This curving field boundary may represent the remains of the outer enclosing element visible on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map while the central enclosing feature has been levelled. The depiction of this monument showing a central circular area enclosed by a wide berm may suggest that this is not the remains of a ringfort but of some other type of monument.

- LI006-023 Enclosure
Description
On flat undulating pasture 70m from the townland boundary with Biddyford to the W. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. The site description is based upon its illustration on the 1897 OS 25-inch map, on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018. The NW half of the semi-circular enclosure survives above ground level incorporated within modern field boundaries (diam. c. 25m). The SE half of the enclosure has been removed as a surface monument and is likely to partially survive sub-surface only. The enclosure survives within two merging field boundaries and is under dense scrub woodland. See attached Google Earth orthophoto Compiled by: Edmond O’Donovan Date of upload: 23 July 2020
