- SL013-048001 Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle
Description
On a slight rise in good, rough pasture, E of Ardnaglass bridge and N of the main Ballysadare-Easky road with excellent views. Named 'Ardnaglass Castle' on the 1913 OS 6-inch map. Apparently built by the O'Dowds, the Lords of Tireragh. Rectangular castle, (int. dims. c. 32m NW-SE; 21m W-E) aligned NW-SE of which only the SE wall (L 15.3m; H 8-10m) and a corner portion of the NW wall survive. The SE wall has a neatly angular corner champfer on the SW end and on the W end of the wall framing the corner is a solid machicolation projection supported by massy brackets, with an intact gun loop at W. The walls are slightly battered (T 1.35m), the basal plinth acting as a supporting buttress and have an ashlar finish covering a fabric of random rubble and lime mortar. Over the plinth batter is a central window with ashlar surround with a gun loop to E. The ground rises to the NE where the sod-covered remains of the wall may indicate the remains of a bastion-type entrance. The N corner of the NW wall survives, with precisely cut quoins and a similar machicolated projection facing N. To the W are a series of earthworks (SL013-048002-), to the S is a house site (SL013-048003-), to SW is a moated site (SL013-048005-). The castle was the original location of a stone sculpture (DU018-221---- ) which is now in the National Museum of Ireland . It consists of a bas-relief of two intertwined animals, interpreted as a dog killing a wolf (Wood-Martin 1882, 57, fig. 5A; Kilgannon 1926, 293; 292-3). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL013-048002 Earthwork
Description
In pasture, located to W of an Anglo-Norman castle (SL013-048001-) and to N of a moated site (MA013-048005-). A N-S bye-road intervenes between the earthworks and the castle. Listed in the RMP (1995) as ‘earthworks’ based on features visible in an aerial photograph (ACP V203/66-5, roll 128, pr. 25). The earthworks cover an area of c. 120m N−S by c. 65m E−W in the E part of a modern rectangular walled field, bordered on the E side by the road. The earthworks are not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps, but this part of the field is indicated as ‘Fair Green’ on the 3rd edition OS 6-inch map. In aerial view, the earthworks consist of a series of linear undulations outlining a patchwork of small subrectangular spaces (max. dims. 20-30m). The NE−SW alignment of the plots runs counter to the predominantly N−S/E−S layout of the present-day field system. The remains may represent house or garden plots, possibly associated with settlement which grew up around the castle in the medieval or post-medieval period. The remains are indistinct and difficult to trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane 0'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 19 June 2020
- SL013-048003 House - indeterminate date
Description
In rough pasture S of Ardabrone Castle (SL013-048001-). The foundation of a 3 roomed house. The rooms are set in line, aligned N-S, and defined by banks. The N room is subrectangular (int. dims. 7.2m E-W; 5.5m N-S). The middle room is rectangular (int. dims. 4.5m N-S) and the S room is L-shaped and open at S. A number of banks run off the site. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
- SL013-048005 Moated site
Description
In rough pasture W of Ardabrone Castle (SL013-048001-). Rectangular raised area (29.7m E-W; 39.4m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank with characteristic high corners, which has been completely removed at S and W, a low counterscarp, which survives at E and an intervening fosse which can be seen at E. The moated site is bisected at N by an E-W field wall. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 2/1994).
- SL013-049001 Enclosure
Description
Situated on slight SSW facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised, subrectangular area (20m N-S; 17m E-W) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. A break (Wth 4m) in the bank at NW marks the position of the original entrance. A slightly curved length of a low NW-SE orientated earth and stone bank (L 6m; Wth 3.6m; H 0.3m) extends from the outer face of the enclosure bank immediately to the S of the entrance. In the NE corner of the interior against the internal face of the bank is a quarry hole (4m square; D 0.2m). Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
