H 0.3m downslope; 0.5m upslope; ext. H 1m downslope; 0.3m upslope; Wth 2.5m) composed of earth and boulders. There is an entrance gap (Wth 2m) in the S quadrant. The monument is overgrown with trees and scrub. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 24 March 2020

• KK013-066 Concentric enclosure
  Description

  On a gently sloping bluff in a valley, in reclaimed grassland. There are very fine views in all directions. Monument identified on an aerial photograph (GSI 1:30,000). The enclosure was not visible at ground level when visited in 1987. However, it is visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth imagery date 8 March 2010 and 28 June 2018). It consists of an internal roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 31m N-S; c. 28m E-W) visible as the cropmark of a fosse, a gap of c. 16m and an outer enclosure (diam. c. 60m) visible as a low bank.

• KK013-069001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  On the floor of a valley, in mostly reclaimed grassland. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 376), the 'castle of the Graces stood about 500 yds. south of Killahy church [KK013-067001-]. Only a very small fragment of it remains. Beside it are the extensive ruins of a fine mansion of about the year 1700'. The castle is indicated on the 1st (1839) and subsequent 1900 revision OS 6-inch map. It is clearly visible on the 25-inch OS map as a rectangular building (dims. c. 8m x 6m), orientated NW-SE, with a wall (L c. 4.5m), possibly a bawn, running NE from the SE angle. The castle is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 December 2016

• KK013-069002 Fish-pond
  Description

  On the floor of a valley, in mostly reclaimed grassland. Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 376), describes the 'extensive ruins of a fine mansion of about the year 1700, with fish-pond and lake, both dried up'. A rectangular feature (dims. c. 23m x c. 4m), possibly the fish-pond, is located c. 15m SE of the Killahy Castle (KK013-069001-) on the 1st (1839) ed. 6-inch OS map. The fish-pond is not indicated on the subsequent 1900 edition. It is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 December 2016

• KK013-069003 House - 17th century
  Description

  On the floor of a valley, in mostly reclaimed grassland. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 376), 'Beside it [Killahy castle KK013-069001-] are the extensive ruins of a fine mansion of about the year 1700'. A building located c. 4.5m NW of the castle is possibly the 'mansion' referred to by Carrigan. It is indicated as roofed on the 1st (1839) and as ruinous on the subsequent 1900 revision OS 6-inch map. On the 25-inch OS map only the SE wall (L c. 14m) and the NE and SW gables (Wth c. 4m) are depicted with a roofless square chamber at the SW end. Another building (dims. c. 26m x 6m) c. 40m to the NW of the castle may also be a candidate for the 'mansion', it is roofed on the 1st ed. 6-inch OS map and in ruins by the 1900 edition. The house is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 December 2016

• KK013-070 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On the SW side of a small valley running NW-SE, at the point where the valley floor meets the gently rising valley sides, in reclaimed grassland. Views are limited to valley. A roughly circular area (int. dims. 47m N-S; 52m E-W), raised above the external field level (H c. 1m) and enclosed by a flat-topped bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 2m; Wth at crest 2m; overall Wth 3m) and an external fosse (Wth 2m; D 1.2m), which is only visible in the W sector as it is infilled elsewhere. The bank is best preserved in the W quadrant, with only a slight remnant in the N sector and it does not survive in the E and S quadrants. There is an entrance in the E quadrant which may be the original and if so it has been modified in recent times but creating a earthen access ramp.
