Recorded monuments

• KK010-043001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gently sloping terrace a little below crest of hills to W and N, in rolling grassland, on the W side of Dinin river valley. There are good views in all directions. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and subsequent 1947 revision. It was subsequently levelled and appears as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP, BGG076, 16 July 1971). It is visible on Digitalglobe satellite imagery (viewed 5 December 2018) as a circular area (diam. c. 40m) enclosed by bank, fosse and outer bank. The outer defenses are particularly clear in the SE quadrant. The SW perimeter has been truncated by a field boundary running NW-SE. According to tradition there was a castle (KK010-043002-) on Maudlin moat, but it is unclear whether this castle was on this monument or another enclosure (KK010-062----) c. 180m to the SW (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 203; O'Kelly 1969, 46-7).

• KK010-062 Enclosure
  Description

  On a gentle S-facing slope on the E side of the Dinin river valley, in rolling grassland. There are good views in all directions except N which is impeded by rising ground. A circular (diam. 29.7m) enclosure which was levelled in the early 1960s but which is visible on the ground, defined by scarp (H 0.1m) and a slight fosse (Wth 2m; H 0.33m). It is also visible on Digitalglobe satellite imagery (viewed 18 December 2018). The scarp and fosse are not evident from N-E. The field is locally known as the 'little rath field'. According to tradition there was a castle (KK010-043002-) on Maudlin moat, but it is unclear whether this castle was on this enclosure or another enclosure (KK010-043001-) c. 180m to the NE (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 203; O'Kelly 1969, 46-7).

• KK010-134 Leper hospital
  Description

  Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 202-3) notes that the townland name, 'Maudlin', 'was used to denote a lazar house, or leper hospital. That a house, or hospital, of this class stood here, in ancient times may be taken for granted, though all tradition in connection with it has died out'. However, according to local tradition a leper hospital was located in the southern portion of the townland, the remaining foundations of which were demolished in the 1970s/early 1980s. It is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 January 2019
