Recorded monuments

• KK022-016 Decoy pond
  Description

  Indicated as 'Old Decoy' on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map with a stream around the perimeter from NW-E-SE and it is indicated as an octagonal field on the 1899-1900 revised edition. The decoy (dims. c. 240m N-S; c. 290m E-W), originally a pond with arm-like projections (pipes) covered with nets into which wild birds are lured and then caught. The decoy would have been part of a demesne landscape, though the associated demesne no longer survives. The Munster River flows roughly E-W c. 350m to the N before turning S where it flows c. 600m to the E. A house indicated on both editions of the 6-inch OS map, c. 150m to the N, may have been the demesne house. The octagonal field boundaries and all the field boundaries which radiated from this on the revised 6-inch OS map have been removed and the field reclaimed. A rectangular tree plantation (dims. c. 260m NE-SW; c. 130m NW-SW) currently occupies the N portion of the former decoy. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 24 May 2021

• KK022-058 Burnt mound
  Description

  During unlicensed archaeological monitoring groundworks for Coillte in advance of a new forestry road. During topsoil stripping areas (overall diam. c. 27m N-S; c. 11m E-W) of dark charcoal rich deposits mixed with heat fractured stones were noted, where were interpreted as the possible remains of a burnt mound (Hanbridge and Shanahan 2023, 20). It is possible that the mound extended further westward under a sunken rectangular concrete water trough (ibid. 20-21). The deposits were preserved in situ under terram which was covered by a layer of crushed shale stone and a top layer of 804 graded stone (ibid. 21).   Compiled by: Jean Farrelly
