Recorded monuments

• SL016-012 Designed landscape feature
  Description

  Located in the garden of Carrowneden House. Not indicated on the 1837 OS 6-inch map. Included in the RMP (1995) as a possible enclosure on the basis of its depiction on the 1913 OS 6-inch map, where it is represented as a hachured arc (diam. c. 25m), curving NW–NE. It is evident as a terrace (H 1.1m) extending in an arc immediately to NNW of Carrowneden House. The house and yard buildings are constructed upon the platform defined by the terrace. It is very likely that this is a designed landscape feature associated with the house. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan, Paul Walsh Date of upload: 20 June 2013

• SL016-029 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated at the SW foot of a NW-SE ridge in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.8m at S, 2.3m at N) with an external fosse (Wth 6m). At the outer edge of the fosse is a second bank (Wth 6m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 2.2m) also with an external fosse (Wth 4m). At the outer edge of the second fosse is a third bank (Wth 5.8m; int. H 2m; ext. H 1.6m). The original entrance at ENE is marked by a break (Wth 2m) in the banks and a causeway across the fosses.

• SL016-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture, situated on a low rise overlooked by a ridge of higher ground to W. Raised circular area (diam. 28m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.4-0.6m; ext. H 1.6m at E, 2m at W). An infilled external fosse may be indicated at E–S by a band (Wth 6m) of irises, and at SW–N by the intervening gap (Wth 4.8m) between the rath bank and a curving field bank, which may be a modification of an original external bank. At NE and E the fosse is truncated by a NW-SE modern field boundary. Original entrance was probably at SE. Within the NE quadrant, close to the inner face of the bank, is a hollow area (dims. 4m x 3m; D 0.8m) of unknown significnce. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL016-032 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in level pasture, a short distance W of a N-S ridge. Raised circular area (diam. 25m) defined at ENE–W by an earthen bank (Wth 3.8m) which is very low internally but has a pronounced external slope (H 0.8-1.5m). The bank is largely levelled at NW–NE. A gap of 2m intervenes between this bank and an inner bank (Wth 1.5-2m at E, 3.4m at W; H 0.6 at E, 0.9m at W) which mirrors the curve ENE–W of the outer bank. It is unclear if the inner bank is a primary feature or represents later modification of the rath. Two low parallel linear banks traverse the rath interior on a roughly NE–SW axis. The intervening gap (Wth 6m) is slightly sunken and represents the remains of a road or trackway, shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map, which cut through the rath. Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL016-033 Earthwork
  Description

  Situated on top of a hill. Small, roughly circular raised area (diam. c. 18m) defined by widely sloping sides and topped with a triagulation station. This feature is centrally located within a larger enclosure (SL016-033001-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL016-033001 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated encompassing the summit of a substantial hill. Depicted on the 1837 editon of the OS 6-inch map as a large subcircular or oval-shaped enclosure (c. 155m NNW-SSE; c. 125m ENE-WSW) defined by a field boundary. A house and accompanying garden are depicted truncating the E side. A NE-SW laneway is shown, dividing the enclosure into two approximately equal portions. The enclosure is not marked on the 1913 map. Remains comprise a raised circular area defined by widely sloping sides. How much of the enclosing element is artificial and how much the naturally-occurring slope of the hill is unknown. Centrally located within the interior is a smaller earthwork (SL016-033----) topped with a trigonometrical station. Possible quarry at E. Compiled by: Patrick F.
