• KK010-023 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the E side of the Deen river valley, on the W edge of a terrace where there is a steep drop to a ravine, between the very steep lower valley sides and rolling uplands to the E, in a forest plantation. There are good views to N and S along the valley and W across valley. Though not indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map or the 1947 revision, a description, plan and profile of this monument was published in 1850-51 (Dunne 1850-51, 246 and opposite 247). Dunne suggested, ‘from the magnitude and strength of its defences, that it was the castellum or dwelling of some chief of the O’Broenains. Its position is very strong. The approach is particularly well calculated for defence; consisting of an inclined plane, which winds round the steepest part of the bank, and is besides commanded throughout its entire course by a platform situated between the inner and outer ramparts’ (ibid. 246). As part of Dunne’s investigation he cut a deep trench, running N-S, across the monument, finding, ‘some human and animal bones, a stone artificially rounded, probably used to bruise corn, and a portion of the bone handle of a knife or dagger (ibid. opposite page 247). Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 163) mentions that the old name of this ‘great fort’ is forgotten but that it could be, ‘Rathomin, or Toimin’s Rath, so often mentioned in O’Brenan documents’. The monument consists of a central circular platform (max. diam. c. 37m) defined by a low, wide earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H c. 3.5m), a fosse (Wth 4m; D 1.5m), a berm (Wth 4m), bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.5m), fosse (Wth 4m) and outer bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.8-1m), except in the W sector where the banks and fosses merge into a series of terraces cut along the hill side. Dunne’s plan depicts a ramp entrance and causeway at S (ibid.). The monument is heavily overgrown by trees. The morphology and strategic location of this monument suggest that it may a ringwork. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 14 November 2018

• KK010-024 Enclosure
  Description

  At the W edge of a terrace between very steep lower valley sides and rolling uplands of E side of Dinin river valley. Shown as a large irregularly shaped enclosure (dims. c. 70m N-S; c. 65m E-W) on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map, curving from S-W-N and forming an undulating edge on the E side, with a roadway skirting along the outer edge of the SW sector. On the 1947 revision of the OS 6-inch map the enclosure is no longer hachured and is depicted as a field. The enlcosure has since been levelled and is not visible at ground level, though the SW edge may still incorporated in the surviving field boundary.

• KK010-026001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the E slopes of Deen valley and to the N of the upper Dinin valley, in rolling grassland. There are good views except to E where it is limited by rising ground. A roughly circular platform (max. dims. 37m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by traces of a slight bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 1.6m), wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4.5m), earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 1.4m), fosse (Wth 5m) and the remnants of a much-degraded outer bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1m). The fosse and outer bank were largely removed in the 1980s, only a short length in the NE sector survives. There are two possible original entrances, one at the SE (Wth 2m) and the other at the W (Wth 2m), with a modern gap (Wth 1m) in the NE. Within the interior there are two hollows on the S side which may be indicating a collapsed souterrain (KK010-026002-) as according to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 163), ‘A passage leading from it to the west was discovered not many years ago’.

• KK010-026002 Souterrain
  Description

  On the E slopes of Deen valley and to the N of the upper Dinin valley, in rolling grassland. There are good views except to E where it is limited by rising ground. Within the interior of a ringfort (KK010-026001-) there are two hollows on the S side which may be indicating a collapsed souterrain as according to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 163), ‘A passage leading from it to the west was discovered not many years ago’.

• KK010-046 Enclosure
  Description

  On steeply rising land just above the flood plain of the river Dinin which flows c. 100m to the S, in reclaimed grassland. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 32m N-S; c. 56m E-W) with a field boundary running NE from the E end of the N side, another running SE from the S sector, another running SSW from the SW sector and another running W from the W sector. The monument is not indicated on the 1947 revision which suggests it was levelled between 1839 and 1947. A farm trackway follows the line of the NE and SSW field boundaries and appears to run through the enclosure. The enclosure is not visible at ground level.

• KK011-001001 Moated site
  Description

  On a slight SW-facing slope on a terrace, just below the crest of hills at the edge of the Castlecomer plateau overlooking the Dinin river to the S, in rolling grassland. The terrain immediately to the SW is marshy. There are good views to the S and along the valley. Identified on an aerial photograph (GSI 1973-77). A roughly rectangular platform (max. dims. 41m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW) with a diverted stream forming a wet fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m) at NE and S-SE. The NW edge is obscured by a field boundary and there is a slight bank defining the W edge. Since visited in 1987 the stream not longer forms two sides of the enclosure, but has been re-cut diagonally across the interior from N-SSW (visible on Digitalglobe satellite imagery, viewed 30 January 2019). A circular enclosure (KK011-001002-) was also identified on the GSI aerial photograph immediately S of the E end of the SE side. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 30 January 2019

• KK011-001002 Enclosure
  Description

  On a slight SW-facing slope on a terrace, just below the crest of hills at the edge of the Castlecomer plateau overlooking the Dinin river to the S, in rolling grassland. There are good views to the S and along the valley. Located immediately S of the E end of the SE side of a possible moated site (KK011-001001-). Identified as a circular cropmark (diam. c. 15m) on an aerial photograph (GSI 1973-77). The enclosure is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 30 January 2019

• KK011-002 Enclosure
  Description

  On a terrace below the hills and above the valley floor and lower slopes of the N side of the Dinin river valley. There are good views in all directions. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 38m NE-SW; L of straight side NW-SE c. 34m) with a large rectangular building (L c. 15m; Wth c. 7m) in the interior, orientated NW-SE. This enclosure and the building are not depicted on the subsequent 1899 revision OS 6-inch map. In its place there is an irregularly shaped area (dims. c. 57m NW-SE; c. 36m NE-SW) defined by a dashed line with trees drawn in the interior, suggesting it had become an unenclosed tree plantation. When visited in 1987 a dense and largely impenetrable tree plantation was in evidence, crossed by several deep drains. There are local fairy traditions associated with this monument.

• KK011-003 Enclosure
  Description

  On the N bank of a stream flowing S into the Dinin river, under grass. There are good views across and along the Dinin river valley. Indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 24m) on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map but not indicated on the subsequent 1899 revision. The land has since been reclaimed and field boundaries removed. The enclosure is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 30 January 2019

• KK011-025 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  On flat boggy ground on the N side of the Dinin Valley. This house with a yard to the N was not included in the SMR (1987) but was included in the RMP (1996) as 'Rectangular Enclosure'. The house and yard, with associated small fields, is depicted on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map. However, by the 1900 revision, the house and surrounding small fields are gone and only the footprint of the house and yard survive. It is evident as a rectangular area (dims. 17m N-S; 10m E-W) extending northward from the former house, enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1m; H 0.5m). A drain runs along the external base of the W bank of the yard (Wth 1m; D 0.2m). There are remnants of the house at the S end (int. dims. c. 8.5m N-S; 12m E-W; wall T 1.5m), though the N wall does not survive. The W gable projects out beyond the W bank of the yard, with a gap (Wth 1.5m) between the house and the yard. There is an entrance (Wth 4m) at the E end of the S wall of the house and a gap (Wth 2m) 2m N of the NE angle in the E wall. There are trees growing on the bank of the yard. A well is indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map c. 75m NW of the house. This feature is post-1700 in date and as such currently does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 1 February 2019
