• RO028-065001 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  On the floor of an E-W valley at the N foot of the WNW-ESE Carnfree ridge. At the W end a berm (Wth 4-7m) defined by scarps (H 0.4-0.8m) runs E-W (L c. 600m) and runs just S of a farmyard built since 1930 (OS 6-inch map) before turning briefly NE and then running parallel with a modern WNW-ESE access road (L c. 200m) on its S side. Its next section to the E is largely missing (L c. 400m) but it re-appears on the E side of the Roscommon - Tulsk road (N 61) as a WNW-ESE field bank alternating with the drystone wall and townland boundary between the townlands of Lisacurkia and Ballybrogan on the N and Carrwokeel and Carrowrinny on the S (L c. 1km). It terminates at the E in what might be a turlough in Corker townland. Its W end may connect with the N end of road (RO028-062001-) and if it was continued NW for c. 1km it would have connected with the destroyed roadway (RO028-008001-).

• RO028-079 Field system
  Description

  On a broad plateau and its S-facing slope. An area of about 250 acres (c. 1 km square) had relict field banks forming large rectangular fields (dims c. 100m x c. 300m) which connected with the field systems around Carnfree (RO028-056001-) (Herity 1988). Much of the relict field banks have been removed, except in Lissaculkia where they are generally unconnected with ring-barrows or ringforts and now cover an area of about 130 acres (c. 53 ha).

• RO028-080 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  Marked as a single embanked enclosure on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but only in its complexity on the 1930 ed. It is situated towards the W edge of a broad plateau. It is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 89m NE-SW; 80m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank with a hedge (Wth 4-5.8m; int. H 0.2-0.8m; ext. H 1.5-2m). There is an outer flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 5-7.7m; Wth of base 1.5-2m; D 0.3-0.5m) which is re-cut as a drain with an outer bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.3m) SW-NW. The interior is cut by a NE-SW drain with banks on either side and there is a drain with two banks running SE from it to the perimeter. The perimeter is reduced to a fosse (Wth of top 9m; D 0.3m) N-NE, and a straight field bank provides the perimeter NE-E. An entrance through the inner (Wth1.4m) and outer (Wth 1.5m) banks and causeway (Wth 3.5m) at SW may be modern. Rath (RO028-081----) is c. 80m to the SE.
