• RO015-051001 Ogham stone
  Description

  Inside the perimeter of a rath (RO015-051002-) at the SW is a sandstone upright (dims 0.45m x. 0.5m; H 1.05m) which has a weathered ogham inscription on one angle. It has been read as: CUNOVATO (Macalister 1914, 139; Hayward 1955, 211) or CUVEATA (Beirne 2000, 25), but these readings cannot be confirmed due to the extent of the weathering. A second (uninscribed) standing stone (RO015-051003-) is 1.5m to the S inside the rath and in 1985 a second ogham stone (RO015-051004-) was discovered in the bank which became dislodged and is now lying on the ground outside the rath. This is a National Monument in state ownership: No. 650 This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

• RO015-051002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle SW-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area with mature deciduous trees (diam. 55m E-W; 54m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.9-5.65m; int. H 0.4m at N to 1.4m at SE; ext. H 1.6-1.7m) NW-N-SE, reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m at S) elsewhere. There is a fosse (Wth of top 8.8m; Wth of base 4-4.8m; D 0.2-0.55m) W-N, but there is no visible entrance. The perimeter is truncated slightly by a NW-SE field wall at SW, and the standing stones (RO015-051001-; RO015-051003-) are inside the perimeter at SW, the first with an ogham inscription. In 1985 a second ogham stone (RO015-051004-) was discovered in the bank that became dislodged and is now lying on top of the bank at SW (SMR file). This is a National Monument in state ownership: No. 650 Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 14 November, 2012

• RO015-051003 Standing stone
  Description

  Inside the perimeter of rath (RO015-051002-) at SW, and probably not in an original location. Limestone upright (dims 0.6m x. 0.25m; 1.05m) aligned ENE-WSW. The ogham stone (RO015-051001-) is 1.5m to the N and the possible standing stone (RO015-051004-) is c. 5m to the SW. This is a National Monument in state ownership: No. 650 Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO015-051004 Ogham stone
  Description

  In 1985 while cleaning scrub this second ogham stone at the site was discovered protruding from the bank of the rath (RO015-051002-), and subsequently became dislodged. It is a sandstone monolith (L 1.9m; Wth 0.55m; T 0.35m). The right-hand angle was visible in 1985 and the inscription ran unusually up this angle. It was read at the time by F. Moore as: RAVASA KOI MAQQI DO....U, but none of the left-hand angle could be read (SMR file). The stone is now lying on the ground outside the rath at the SW. Ogham stone (RO015-051001-) and standing stone (RO015-051003-) are c. 5m to the NE, inside the rath. This is a National Monument in state ownership: No. 650 This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

• RO015-052 Inscribed stone
  Description

  Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as 'Inscribed Stone'. It is situated on the N-facing slope of a knoll. Described as a headstone with an illegible inscription which may have been in French (OS Name Books). It is not visible in an area of grass-covered quarries, and its precise location is not known. Archaeological testing (21E0180) by M. Fitzpatrick of an extensive area of about 4 ha (c. 10 acres) around this feature produced no archaeological material and no evidence of this stone, which he suggests might be the original location of any of the ogham stones now at the rath (RO015-161002-) c. 600m to the W (excavations.ie 2021: 056).

• RO015-063 Road - hollow-way
  Description

  Visible as a linerar feature on aerial photograph (ACP V206/39), and situated towards the bottom of a lsight N-facing slope. A depression (Wth 4-5m; D 0.3-0.6m) runs E-W (L c. 300m). It may be a road, and part of the bealach or road after which Balanagare is named (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 71). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO015-077 Mound
  Description

  First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen - Scramoge road development. It is situated on a fairly level landscape with some undulations. This is a subcircular grass-covered rise (diam. of base 17m NW-SE; 15m NE-SW; H 0.4-0.6m) with two small depressions (diam. c. 2m) on the flat top (diam. 7m E-W). It could be a natural feature.
