• KK024-164 Enclosure
  Description

  On the summit of a low broad hill with good views in all directions (pers. comm. Robert Breen, 20 August 2024). There is a trigonometricl station of 267ft indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map immediately NE of the enclosure. In tillage. Not indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map or the 1899-1902 revision. A circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 32m; overall diam. c. 45m), visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery, in particular 25 April 2021 and 24 March 2022), identified and reported by Robert Breen. The enclosure is defined by an inner and an outer fosse, c. 6m apart. Enclosures (KK024-026----; KK024-139----) are located c. 760m to the SSE and SW respectively and a henge (KK024-024----) is located c. 1km to the WSW.   Compiled by: Jean Farrelly

• LF013-159 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  This site is located in the industrial peatlands of Clooneeny Bog. It was first recorded in the 2013 Reassessment Peatland Survey as brushwood and roundwood elements supported by a bed of twig material. It was visible in a drain face, 0.39m below the field surface (Whitaker 2014). On excavation in 2014 (licence 14E0257) the site was interpreted as the remains of a short togher or possible platform. A fragment of alder was used for AMS dating and returned a result of cal. 1208-946 BC (UBA 26558). A single cutting was opened, measuring 5x3.5m. The exposed site was a maximum of 1.84m in length and 1.35m in width. It was composed of closely placed, N-S orientated roundwood elements that were laid a maximum of two layers deep. Three roundwoods were identified as alder and cherry, and one brushwood as oak. A few worked ends were noted. Some of the elements were visible in section in the opposing drain face, but no further sightings were located. The site was underlain and overlain by poorly humified peat.

• LF013-160 Road - class 3 togher
  Description

  This site is located in the industrial peatlands of Clooneeny Bog. It was first recorded in the 2013 Reassessment Peatland Survey as severely machine-damaged roundwood and brushwood elements, visible on the field surface for 15m (Whitaker 2014). On excavation in 2014 (licence 14E0256) it was revealed to be a poorly preserved hurdle togher. A fragment of hazel was used for AMS dating and returned a result of cal. 164 BC-AD 51 (UBA 26559). The hurdle togher was orientated N-S. Very little peat remained over the site, and it was underlain by moderately humified Sphagnum peat. The togher consisted of nine fragmentary E-W orientated sails, placed 0.12-0.2m apart, which had a maximum surviving length of 0.75m. A fairly dense arrangement of N-S orientated rods was found between the sails. The densest part of the site was contained within the N extent of the cutting, and measured 2.9m in length and 0.75-1.58m in width. The sails from the hurdle togher were mainly identified as hazel, with one ash and one alder sample noted. Compiled by: Tim Coughlan/Jane Whitaker/Femke Vleeshouwer Date of upload: 25/02/2020
