• MA103-029 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located on the top of a hill, with good views. A meandering river lies c. 250m to N and Levally Lough is 280m to SE. A roughly circular embanked enclosure is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; by the time of the 1916 edition it is depicted as a D-shaped hachured enclosure (36m N−S; 39m E-W), truncated on the straight side at E by a field boundary. There is no visible trace at ground level; it appears to have encompassed the level top of the hill. There is a small quarry pit at the SE edge of the area. Another rath (MA103-030001-) is visible 200m to SE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 4 November 2022

• MA103-030001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, located on the top of a knoll on a low undulating NE−SW ridge, overlooking Levally Lough which is 80m to SE. A meandering river lies c. 180m to NE, where a Corn Mill is indicated on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. This rath is named ‘Doonfore Fort’ on the 1988 OS 6-inch map; it is not named on the 1916 edition. Knox (1911, 231) recorded the name as ‘Doonooir’. Circular platform (32.5m N−S; 33.6m E−W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.8m, at E and W) outside which it is enclosed by a fosse (Wth 3.4m at E, 4.3m at W) with an external bank (Wth 2.3m at E, 3.4m at W; int. H 1.3m at E, 0.7m at W; ext. H 0.5m at E, 1.8m at W). Two large boulders are incorporated into the external bank at E, one on its inner face, one on its outer face, but not in line with each other; Knox (1911, 231) suggested that these may mark the location of a souterrain (MA103-030002-). The SE arc of the external bank is poorly preserved, and is absent at W−NW. At S−SSW a quarry pit (c. 18m across) cuts into the fosse and external bank. There are a number of eroded breaks in the inner bank on the E half. A larger gap (Wth 2m) is evident at W. Its S terminal is markedly expanded (Wth 5m) inwards. The gap slopes down steeply outwards, opening onto a rectangular area (c. 15.7m NE−SW; c. 20m NW−SE) defined on the N side by a slight bank (Wth 1.4m) and by a slight undulation on the S side. It appears to extend to W or WSW as far as a field fence which curves around the knoll. This rectangular area was recorded by Knox (1911, 231) who interpreted it as an annex associated with the rath, but its outline was already slight at that date. It is difficult to examine now as it is covered in dense overgrowth, gorse and brambles. Beneath the overgrowth a deep depression/ possible quarry pit can be glimpsed in the N half of this rectangular area. The rath is covered in long grass, with clumps of gorse and brambles on the perimeter. A possible rath (MA103-029----) is located on a hill 200m to NW.

• MA103-030002 Souterrain
  Description

  In a rath (MA103-030001-). Knox (1911, 231) noted that ‘In the outside of the outer ring is a vertical stone about two feet high, a little in advance of the ring. Beside it to the south is a large horizontal stone in the ring [outer bank], which may be the lintel of a closed creep hole.’ Two large stones are evident in the external bank at E, one on its inner face, one on its outer face, but not in line with each other. There is no visible evidence that either represents part of a souterrain. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 4 November 2022

• MA103-035 Enclosure
  Description

  In a pasture field, bordered at E and S by the junction of two roads. The terrain is gently undulating with a gradual fall of ground to S, and slight dip to N, with a wettish, rush-grown area at NW. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch maps as a sub-rectangular field, with a rectangular house at the W corner, and bordered on the S and NE sides by roads; not shown on later map editions. Knox (1911, 319-321) published a sketch plan and described a low trapezoidal platform defined by scarps, ‘enclosed by sides of which two are 85 [77m] and 88 yards [80m] long, and the third 58 yards [53m] from north to south’. The fourth side at NE measured 18 yards [16m]. There were slight traces of a shallow ditch in parts outside the enclosing scarp. Knox considered that it might have been a defensive work, with the scarps possibly ‘crowned by stockades or other defences.’ The remains consist of a grassy, slightly raised trapezoidal area defined by a partly levelled scarp (H 1.2m; Wth slope 3m) and at E and S by field fences bordered by the roads. The S side measures 72m; the NW side c. 60m; the short N side 18m; the E side 43m. The nature of this enclosure is uncertain; it appears to be simply the remains of an old field.

• MA103-036 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on top of a ridge, with a fall of ground to S−SW. The rath now stands at the junction of several fields. Three fields, which abut the rath at NW, N and E, are occupied by modern houses with garden plots backing onto the rath. A pasture field borders the S arc of the rath. This substantial, bivallate rath, named ‘Lissanierin’ on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps, consists of a raised circular area (diam. 33.5m N−S; 32m E−W) defined by remnants of a bank, outside which it is enclosed by a fosse with an external bank. The inner bank is largely reduced to a scarp (ext. H 0.8-1.2m). The fosse (Wth 4-4.5m) is well defined, broad and deep. The outer earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 1.9m; ext. H 1.3m) is substantial, with a broad internal slump into the fosse. It now serves as a field fence/property boundary, and the almost vertical external face is most likely a relatively recent modification related to this. The interior is relatively level, with a very slight slope down to S. There is no clearly defined entrance; it may have been at ESE−SE where there is a hint of a causeway across the fosse (difficult to examine due to blackthorn scrub) and a break in the outer bank (Wth 4m at least). The rath is thickly ringed with hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel and brambles; the interior is thickly covered in long grass, with blackthorn scrub encroaching on it from the perimeter, especially at E. There is a local tradition of a souterrain (MA103-036001-) in the rath. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 November 2022

• MA103-036001 Souterrain
  Description

  In a rath (MA103-036----). According to local information, there is a souterrain in the interior of the rath. There is no visible evidence at ground level. The rath interior is partly obscured by long grass and scrub. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 November 2022

• MA103-037 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a level terrace on the SW-facing slope just below the top of a roughly E−W ridge. Ground rises gently to N, and shelves away to lowlying wet ground at S. There are very good views S−W, where a stream/drain coincides with the townland boundary c. 500m to S. This rath is shown as a circular enclosure on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; by the time of the 1916 edition only the E half of the rath is depicted, bordered on the straight side at W by a field boundary. The E half of the rath survives as a D-shaped platform (45.8m NNE−SSW; 25m WNW−ESE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.9-1.2m), outside which is a fosse (Wth 5m) with an outer bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.3m). The inner bank at NNE−NE is incorporated into a field fence. The fosse is broad, flat-based and very shallow. The outer bank survives as a low earthen rise with stones protruding randomly from its external face. There is a low area (Wth 2m) in the inner bank at E, and possibly a corresponding break in the outer bank (now obscured by gorse). At SSW there are corresponding breaks in the inner bank (Wth break 3.8m) and in the outer bank (Wth break 6.7m), which allow tractor access to the interior. The straight W side of the surviving D-shaped platform is defined now by a property fence. To W of the fence, the W half of the rath has been levelled, its outline evident as a barely discernible surface undulation. The platform is ringed with gorse and hawthorn. At SSE a portion of the enclosing elements have been dug and the fosse infilled with field clearance debris. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 4 November 2022

• MA103-038 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In pasture, on a low undulation. Ground rises to N, and dips immediately to S to a flat expanse of wettish land cut by a drain/stream. A football pitch lies immediately to E. A well, named ‘Bunadober well’ is located 100m to W. A circular area, not noticeably raised, defined by a sod-covered rise/bank (Wth 1.5m; ext. H 0.25m). The bank is very low profile, almost levelled on the E arc. The diameter (mid bank) is c. 8.7m. It is possible that there is a fosse on the inner edge of the bank, but it is difficult to be certain of this as a ring (Wth 2m) of field clearance stones has been piled on the bank and around the inner edge of the interior area. If there is an inner fosse, the central enclosed area may have had a diameter of c. 4m. Difficult to be certain of the original form and function of this monument, but it be the remnants of a ringbarrow. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 November 2022
