• TS058-022 Enclosure
  Description

  In gently undulating improved pasture. Shown as a hachured circular area (diam. 20m) on the 1906 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The enclosure has been levelled. Low irregular undulations are visible at ground level but no definite enclosing element is discernible. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-023001 Habitation site
  Description

  Beneath a multi-period funerary complex consisting of a bowl-barrow (TS058-023003-), a standing stone (TS058-023004-), two ditch-barrows (TS058-023005- and TS058-023007-) and a ring-barrow (TS058-023006-), all contained within a circular enclosure (TS058-023002-). Pottery discovered during archaeological excavation during 1973-1976 indicates that the earliest phase of activity consisted of a small Neolithic camp. Beaker pottery associated with funerary and domestic activity indicates that the habitation site was re-used in the Early Bronze Age prior to the construction of the central bowl-barrow (TS058-023003-).

• TS058-023002 Barrow - stepped barrow
  Description

  On top of the level summit of a prominent hill with panoramic views in all directions. A standing stone (TS058-079----) is visible 800m to the NE; a large barrow 1.5km to the WSW and a mound-barrow (TS058-047----) 1.8km to the S. Four monuments are visible at ground level in the interior; a standing stone (TS058-023004-) atop the centre of the stepped-barrow, a ditch-barrow (TS058-023005-) in the berm in the SW quadrant, a second ditch-barrow (TS058-023007) in the berm against the inner edge of the fosse at SSW and a ring-barrow (TS058-023006-) in the berm between the inner edge of the fosse at SSE and the SSE edge of the central mound of the stepped barrow. The enclosing elements are in good condition with the exception of the SW quadrant of the external bank which is very degraded and low in profile. Enclosure consists of a circular area (diam. 56m) defined by an earthen scarped edge (Wth 1.25 m; H 0.3-0.5m) with a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 1.6-2m) and a broad external bank (overall Wth 3.5-4.2m; Wth at top 1.2-1.8m; int. H 1.15-1.3m; ext. H 0.25-0.4m). The scarped edge and fosse enclose the monument on all sides and have a consistent gently sloping profile. The external bank encloses the monument but is best preserved W to S where the profile is low broad and consistent. The external bank is degraded and irregular in profile S to W. A causeway across the fosse and break (Wth 4m) in the external bank at ESE marks the position of the original entrance.The interior is dry and clear of overgrowth across the N three-quarters with dense gorse in the S one-quarter.

• TS058-023004 Standing stone
  Description

  On top of a bowl-barrow (TS058-023004-) at the centre of an enclosure (TS058-023002-) containing a multi-period complex consisting of two ditch-barrows (TS058-023005- and TS058-023007-), a ring-barrow (TS058-023006-) and a habitation site (TS058-023001-). The complex is located atop the level summit of a prominent hill with panoramic views in all directions. A standing stone (TS058-079----) is visible 800m to the NE; a large barrow 1.5km to the WSW and a mound-barrow (TS058-047----) 1.8km to the S. The stone is perfectly vertical and appears to have been recently re-set as the base is encased in concrete. The standing stone was broken in two during a storm c. 1960s and subsequently repaired by the OPW (Danaher 1973 - excavations.ie). The standing stone consists of a roughly rectangular upright pillar of very fine-grained sandstone (Wth NW-SE at base 0.5m; L at base NE-SW 0.85m; H 2.15m). The stone is roughly rectangular in section. The stone is solidly set in a modern concrete base (Wth NW-SE at base 0.8m; L at base NE-SW 1.2m) with a metal rail (H 0.7m). The surface of the stone is weathered. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-023005 Barrow - ditch barrow
  Description

  On top of the level summit of a prominent hill with panoramic views in all directions, at the WSW side of an enclosure (TS058-023002-) containing a multi-period complex. A second ditch-barrow (TS058-023007-) is located 4m to the SE and a ring-barrow (TS058-023006-) is 8m to the ESE. A bowl-barrow (TS058-023003-) and a standing stone (TS058-023004-) are located 4m to the ENE. A standing stone (TS058-079----) is visible 800m to the NE; a large barrow 1.5km to the WSW and a mound-barrow (TS058-047----) 1.8km to the S. The enclosing elements are in good condition with crisp breaks of slope and no livestock damage. The ditch-barrow consists of a circular slightly raised area (diam. 2.4m) defined by a gently sloping earthen scarped edge (Wth 0.6m; H 0.4m) with an external narrow flat-bottomed fosse (overall Wth 1.15m; Wth at base 0.75 m; D 0.3m). The scarped edge and fosse enclose the barrow on all sides and have a consistent gently sloping profile. A causeway (Wth. 1m) across the fosse at SE marks the position of the original entrance. The interior is dry and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-023006 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  On top of the level summit of a prominent hill with panoramic views in all directions, abutting the inner SSE side of an enclosure (TS058-023002-) containing a multi-period. A ditch-barrow (TS058-023005-) is located 8m to the NW and a second ditch-barrow (TS058-023007-) is 4m to the W. A standing stone (TS058-079----) is visible 800m to the NE; a large barrow 1.5km to the WSW and a mound-barrow (TS058-047----) 1.8km to the S. The enclosing elements are in good condition with crisp breaks of slope and little livestock damage. The ring-barrow is, however, becoming engulfed with gorse making access difficult. It consists of a circular area (diam. 8m) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 1m; H 0.4-0.5m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.4m) and an external earthen bank (overall Wth 3.6-4m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.15m). The scarped edge, fosse and external bank enclose the monument from SSW to NW and from NNE to SE and has a consistent regular profile. From NW to NNE the fosse and external bank are absent and the edge of the monument is defined by fosse of the neighbouring bowl-barrow (TS058-028003-). From SE to SW the fosse and external bank are absent and the edge is defined by fosse of the large enclosure (TS058-028002-). The interior is level, dry and clear of overgrowth but the fosse and external bank are densely overgrown with gorse. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-023007 Barrow - ditch barrow
  Description

  On top of the level summit of a prominent hill with panoramic views in all directions, abutting the inner SW side of an enclosure (TS058-023002-) containing a multi-period. A second ditch-barrow (TS058-023005-) is located c. 20m to the NW and a ring-barrow (TS058-023006-) is 4m to the W. There is a standing stone (TS058-023004-) on the summit. Another standing stone (TS058-079----) is visible 800m to the NE; a large barrow 1.5km to the WSW and a mound-barrow (TS058-047----) 1.8km to the S. The enclosing elements are in good condition with crisp breaks of slope and little livestock damage. The barrow is, however, becoming engulfed with gorse making access difficult. The ditch-barrow consists of a semi-circular slightly raised area (dims. 3m NW-SE; 1.5m NE-SW) defined by a gently sloping earthen scarped edge (Wth 2.2m; H 0.75m) with an external narrow flat-bottomed fosse (overall Wth 1.55m; Wth at base 0.65 m; D 0.65m). The scarped edge and fosse enclose the ditch barrow W to SE have a consistent strongly sloping profile. From SE to W the monument is defined by the fosse of the larger enclosure (TS058-023002-).

• TS058-040 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  In grassland on SW-facing slope of rising ground in upland area overlooking low wet marshy land to S and W, higher ground to N. Ringfort (TS058-041----) 270m to S and church and graveyard (TS058-060---- and TS058-060001-) 430m to SW. Not visible at ground level. Long linear feature which may be an old field bank running N and then returns E and appears to enclose the area of the castle may be the wall-footings of a bawn wall running from field boundary to S of castle. Described in the OS letters as 'an old castle called by the people Caislean Lachtnainn(Lochna) - Castleloughnan - but there remains of it at present only a heap of small stones and mortar, all the large stones having been carried away for building houses.' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 10). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-041001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In flat grassland with good views in all directions, castle (TS058-040----) 270m to N and church and graveyard (TS058-060---- and TS058-060001-) 195m to SW. Slight raised circular area (int. diam. 42m N-S; 45m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (top Wth 1.5m; base Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.8m) and outer fosse (top Wth 4m; base Wth 2.1m; ext. D 0.3m) with possible entrance gap (Wth 1.2m) at S. Two rectangular house footings are located in the ringfort interior the larger house in the centre of the fort (TS058-041002-) and the smaller house (TS058-041003-) in the N quadrant. Fosse intersected by field bank at N running on an E-W axis. Bank destroyed from a distance of 15m from SW to W. The Civil Survey description of the lands of Kilcornan in 1640 describes an 'old castle irrepairable & some cabbins wast' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 364). It is possible that this reference is referring to the buildings within the ringfort, however this could also be a reference to an unlocated castle within the townland of Kilcornan.

• TS058-041002 House - early medieval
  Description

  In flat grassland with good views in all directions, castle site (58;040) 270m to N and church and graveyard (TS058-060---- and TS058-060001-) 195m to SW. House (TS058-041003-) in N quadrant is located 3m to the N of the enclosing fosse of the central house. This house in the centre of a ringfort (TS058-041001-) conists of a raised rectangular area (overall dims. 12m N-S x 22m E-W) divided into two rooms (int.dims. 10.5m N-S x 4.1m E-W) orientated on an E-W axis and enclosed by an earth and stone bank (top Wth 1m; base Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.6m) and outer fosse (top Wth 3m; base Wth 1.3m; ext. D 0.3m) with possible entrance gap (Wth 1.8m) in the bank at N. Larger room to W measures internally 3.5m N-S x 8m E-W with smaller annexe type room to E measuring internally 2.5m N-S x 5m E-W. Both houses are in very good state of preservation and appear to be contemporary with the enclosure. The Civil Survey description of the lands of Kilcornan in 1640 describes an 'old castle irrepairable & some cabbins wast' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 364). It is possible that this reference is referring to the buildings within the ringfort, however this could also be a reference to an unlocated castle within the townland of Kilcornan. The two house footings within the ringfort do not appear to be the remains of a castle but are more likely to be domestic buidings of the ringfort.
