Recorded monuments
- TS082-019 Earthwork
Description
In a hollow, towards the bottom of a NW-facing slope, surrounded by undulating pasture. The 25-inch OS map depicts a roughly circular platform (dims. c. 16m N-S; c. 18m E-W) enclosed by a berm (Wth 7m-10m) and outer bank. The interior is heavily overgrown with scrub. The platform, defined by gently sloping scarp (H 0.57m) appears to occupy the hollow and is surrounded by a wide fosse (Wth 4.5m) and steep counterscarp (Wth of slope 4.3m; H 1.95m) or bank which was only slightly raised above the exterior. The counterscarp bank is incorporated in a barony boundary from N to E. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 January 2014
- TS082-020 Enclosure
Description
On fairly level ground near the top of a ridge, ground sloping gently to W, in undulating terrain, under barley. Enclosure levelled a couple of years ago (c. 1990s) according to landowner's son. The field boundaries to N and W of the enclosure have been removed. The monument is depicted as a large, roughly circular area (diam. c. 53m) on the 1st 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map enclosed by field boundaries in the N, E and W quadrants and also at a short distance to the S. By the 2nd ed. (1904-5) the field boundary to the E had been removed and the monument, enclosed by a bank, appears more sub-rectangular. There is no visible trace above ground. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 January 2014
- TS082-021 Ringfort - rath
Description
On top of a ridge, sloping slightly to S with a depression immediately N of the monument which may be the result of quarrying. In hilly terrain, under pasture. Roughly circular ringfort (diam. 39m N-S; 38.5 E-W) enclosed by a bank with an impressive profile in the N quadrant (Wth 2m crest, 6.2m base; int. H 0.62m; ext. H 2.17m), external height may be exaggerated by external quarrying, bedrock is exposed at the base of the bank. In the SE and SW quadrants the bank is 1.3m above the exterior. There is a cattle gap in the SW quadrant (Wth 1.1m) and in the NW (0.6m). There is an entrance in the E quadrant (Wth 1.8m). There is a hollow in the centre of the ringfort (diam. 2.6m N-S; 2.8m E-W; D 0.43) with a slight bank (Wth 1.3m; ext. H 0.2m) around the perimeter, possibly a result of robbing or a collapsed souterrain. An external field bank with a stone revettment runs concentric with the ringfort in the W-S-E sectors. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 January 2014
- TS082-022 Ringfort - rath
Description
Just off the crest of a hill on an E-facing slope, in undulating terrain, under pasture. Roughly circular area (diam. 32.9m N-S; 34.1m E-W) enclosed by an earthen and stone bank (Wth 2.1m crest, 5.7m base; int. H 1.12m; ext. H 1.63m) and external fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.66m). The monument is grass-covered with only limited bramble growth on the bank in the SW quadrant. The interior slopes gently to the E. There is a small quarry immediately E of the ringfort and some quarrying into the bank in the SW quadrant has taken place. There is a pronounced fosse on the upslope, W side, which may be the result of quarrying activity. The bank in the N quadrant has been removed, quarried out. In the NE quadrant there is no evidence of an external fosse or bank disturbance (Wth 1.6m crest, 2.2m base; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.85m). There is no definable entrance, though it may have been damaged by quarrying activity. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 January 2014
- TS082-023 Enclosure
Description
Monument encloses the summit of a hill and portion of a SE-facing slope, in an area of rock outcrop and undulating pasture. Some outcrop occupies the interior of the enclosure, particularly in the NW quadrant. There is a small limestone quarry immediately NW of the enclosure. Nicholastown Castle (TS082-043001-) visible to W. Enclosures (TS082-044---- and TS082-045----), though both levelled, would have been visible to the SW. Large, roughly D-shaped enclosure (dims. 64.6m N-S x 80.8m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank with a lot of stones (Wth 1.1m crest, 3.1m base; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.92m). There is an external fosse in the NE quadrant (Wth 1.8-2m; D 0.6m) which widens towards the E quadrant, but its sharp profile would suggest it is a recently cut ditch, perhaps the result of quarrying activity. Portion of the interior is sub-divided by internal banks, forming a rectangular area in the SE quadrant (dims. 39.4m N-S x 30.8m E-W) with an internal raised platform. There is a similar raised platform in the SW quadrant and another bank running N-S in the N sector. Towards the centre of the monument there is a mound (dims. 5.9m N-S x 6.8m E-W; H 0.7m) with a central depression (dims. 1.4m x 1.8m; D 0.2m). Running up to the bank in the W quadrant there is a small, roughly circular enclosure (dims. 7.4m x 7.7m). Also in the W quadrant there is an entrance (Wth 2.26m) which appears to be original. Externally a bank runs E-W towards this entrance, this may be the S side of a old roadway. The entrance is used by farm machinery, with a narrower, probably modern, entrance (Wth 2m) opposite in the E quadrant. A break in the bank in the NE quadrant is due to cattle erosion. This monument is comparable to enclosures with internal divisions at Annacrivey (WI007-010----) and Ballymaghroe (WI033-010----) in Wicklow (Grogan and Kilfeather 1997, 72, 77) and Commons (LH005-032----; LH005-035001-) in Louth (Buckley and Sweetman 1991, 167).
