• TS088-008 Enclosure
  Description

  On the S-facing slope in undulating pasture. Identified on an aerial photograph (CUCAP July 1970 BDR 79) as a roughly circular cropmark (diam. c. 34m N-S). The bank in the S, W and N quadrants are still faintly visible as scarp, in the S sector this is 0.57m H. The enclosure was under tillage in 1970.

• TS088-009001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle W-facing slope in gently undulating terrain, under tillage. This circular area (diam. 34.4m E-W; N-S not obtainable due to brambles in the S quadrant but c. 34m from OS map) is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.1m crest, 3.9m base; int. H 0.41m; ext. H 0.96-1.16m). The interior in the E quadrant appears to have been quarried into with spoil thrown up around it. The bank in the E quadrant is not evident, it is replaced by a later stone wall. In the N quadrant a possible external fosse is visible (Wth 2m; D 0.3m). A hollow in the S quadrant appears to be the entrance to a souterrain (TS088-009002-), now covered over.

• TS088-009002 Souterrain
  Description

  In the S quadrant of a ringfort (TS088-009001-). The souterrain is described in detail by the Rev. James Graves (1870-71, 207-8) as follows, it 'was approached by a regular flight of steps, giving entrance to a small bee-hive-shaped chamber of an irregular circular form 6'9" [2.06m] wide by 5'5" [1.65m] high, built of rough fragments of limestone; from this chamber a narrow passage, so low that one was obliged to creep through it on all-fours, led into another chamber of the same character, 6'8" [2.03m] wide by 6'9" [2.06] high; and from this a similar passage gave entrance to a third, of larger size, 6'8" [2.03m] high, and by 7'3" [2.21] in diameter. The passages were square-headed, and roofed with single stones stretching across from wall to wall. The jointing of the stonework was very irregular, no courses or bedding being perceptible, the faces of the stones as they came from the quarry being rudely fitted to each other. In each chamber the bee-hive vault was capped by a single stone at top; and what was very note-worthy, as bearing on the habitable nature of these souterreins, each chamber was provided with two ventilating shafts, placed near the top, and diverging in opposite directions towards the surface'. The souterrain has been 'cleared out' and 'bones of the cow, pig, sheep, deep, and goat, were found, also quantities of sling stones and some bone pins, together with pieces of charcoal' and a carved bone (ibid, 208). The entrance to the souterrain is visible as a hollow, the opening has been covered over. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS088-067 Souterrain
  Description

  On a slight break on a W facing slope, land runs down to the River Suir c. 100m to W. Souterrain not marked on either 1st (1840) or 2nd (1904-05) ed. OS 6-inch map. Landowner at Cloghardeen House uncovered a portion of the souterrain which is presently covered with a metal sheet, the original lintel is missing. It is constructed with dry-stone walling and corbelled towards the roof. The interior was waterlogged at the time of inspection. There is no visible evidence above ground of an associated enclosure.
