Recorded monuments

• RO015-026 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low-lying level landscape with the W-E Carricknabraher River c. 20m to the NE. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 24m) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 6.5-6.8m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) SW-W and at E, and by a scarp (H 0.6m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO015-033 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Marked as a subcircular hachured feature (diam. c. 30m) only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a level landscape. Although quarried, the slight remains of a bank was visible at N (Gannon 1972). It is now an oval overgrown quarry (dims 31m N-S; 25m E-W; D 1-1.2m) with no evidence of a bank or fosse and it remains unplanted in a coniferous forest. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO015-033001 Well
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape c. 90m W of earthwork (RO015-033----) and within a coniferous forest. A drystone-lined well (int. diam. 0.5m; ext. diam. 1.5m; D 0.7m) had been covered with large slabs, one of which (dims 0.95m x 0.3-0.7m; T 5-10cm) is still present, although it has slipped into the entrance approach from the S. The well was probably associated with the single house that is marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map c. 30m to the S. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12th May 2011

• RO015-073 Barrow - ditch barrow
  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  First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen -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 located in meadow grass on a slight NE-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 10m NE-SW; 9m NW-SE) defined by a shallow fosse best preserved (at SW: Wth of top 3m; D 0.15m) SW-W-NE and barely traceable elsewhere.

• RO015-075 Fulacht fia
  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  First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen -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 located in meadow grass towards the bottom of a slight SW-facing slope. This is a low kidney-shaped mound (dims 9.5m N-S; 4.75m E-W; H 0.2m) curving around SSE-W-N a slight depression (dims 3.75m E-W; 2m N-S) at NE. It is on the S side of an E-W land drain, which cuts it slightly revealing a charcoal and burnt stone matrix. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 5 August, 2016

• RO015-080 Burnt spread
  Description

  Discovered through archaeological test excavation in association with the ‘N5 Ballaghaderreen-Scramoge Road Project’ (Ministerial Direction No. A077; Registration No. E5231). In marginal pasture to E of partially cut-away bogland. A shallow (D 0.26m) irregularly shaped spread (L 15.9m; Wth 10.3m) of charcoal-rich soil and heat-shattered red sandstone was excavated. Charred wood macro-remains from the spread comprised ash, oak, hazel, holly and blackthorn/cherry. The spread overlay a subcircular trough (diams. 0.98m; 0.94m) and a sample of alder charcoal from its fill returned a Late Bronze Age date of 1221–1016 cal. BC1 (UBA-47431; 2931±29BP). There was no evidence that the trough was lined. A small (diam. 0.1m) vertical stakehole was found c.0.2m NW of the trough and was interpreted as possibly serving to mark the location of the trough or to support a structure associated with its use. No artefacts were found. The burnt spread continued to N (est. L c. 10-15m), outside the limits of the road-take, so its full extent was not ascertained. These remains survive in situ outside of the limits of the excavation.

• RO015-081 Burnt spread
  Description

  Discovered through archaeological test excavation in association with the ‘N5 Ballaghaderreen-Scramoge Road Project’ (Ministerial Direction No. A077; Registration No. E52346). In boggy ground in clear-felled forestry. Consisted of an irregularly shaped spread (11.71m N-S; 6.89m E-W: D 0.15-0.46m) of charcoal-rich soil and heat-shattered sandstone. No associated trough or pits were recorded. The surface of the spread was cut near the W by a later, N-S field drain. Charred wood macro-remains from the burnt spread consisted primarily of alder, hazel, oak, pomaceous fruitwood and willow. A sample of willow charcoal returned a Middle to Late Bronze Age date of 1264–1055 cal. BC1 (UBA-46770; 2963±24BP). The burnt spread continued to E (est. L c. 10m), outside the limits of the road-take, so its full extent was not ascertained. These remains survive in situ outside of the limits of the excavation.
