• MA093-045001 Church
  Description

  In pasture, located on a ridge. A commercial quarry lies immediately to W and N. This church is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. The walls are reduced to foundation level and the date of the church is uncertain. The rectangular outline (c. 10.3m E–W; c. 6m N–S) is defined by low sod-covered wall footings (Wth c. 1.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.1m). The interior is slightly sunken. There appears to be a break (Wth c. 2m) towards the W end of the N wall. To W of the break, large blocks of stone, possibly displaced, protrude from the sod at the angle of the W and N walls. A slightly raised berm-like feature, varying in width (Wth 5m at E, 2-4m at S) and height (H 0.9m at E, 0.3m at S), borders the outer face of the walls at E and S. The quarry has encroached to within 15m of the W wall and 2m of N wall of the church. An ogham stone (MA093-045003-) was found here in the early 1900’s; it is now in the National Museum (DU018-355----). A children’s burial ground (MA093-045002-) is associated with the church.

• MA093-045002 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In pasture, associated with a church (MA093-045001-). A rectangular area (c. 17m E−W; c. 12m N−S), outlined by a dashed line, is named ‘Children’s Burial Gd.’ on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. Its original extent is no longer clear at ground level. It appears to have surrounded the ruined church, but a commercial gravel quarry has encroached to within 15m of the W wall and 2m of N wall of the church, and has more than likely truncated the burial ground. No grave markers are visible. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 29 June 2022

• MA093-045003 Ogham stone
  Description

  This ogham stone (1.22m x 0.51m x 0.3m, converted from Macalister 1945, 6, no. 4) was found built into the wall of a church (MA093-045001-) and is now in the National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-355----). It is inscribed on all four angles, 2 inscriptions (2nd unintelligible), boustrophedon/up-top-down. These have been read by McManus (1991, 65) as: LUGADDON MAqi LuGUDEC and DDISI MO. . .CQU SEL. Macalister (ibid.) read DDISIMO [--]CQU[!B]EL) for the second. This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

• MA093-068 Enclosure
  Description

  On the E slope of a ridge. Listed in RMP 91997) as enclosure. It is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; an oblong quarried area (33m N−S; 25m E−W) outlined by hachuring, with a limekiln and buildings at E, is indicated on the 25-inch plan; an oblong hachured area is shown on the 1916 OS 6-inch edition. The feature shown on the map appears to correspond to a disused sandpit dug into the slope of the ridge. Bordering the E edge of the pit are the ruins of a house. The top of the ridge immediately to W of the sandpit is obscured by an impenetrable cover of gorse. It seems likely that the circular feature shown on the map is in fact the sand pit and that there never was an enclosure at this location. If an enclosure did exist here, it has been destroyed by quarrying. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 29 June 2022

• MA093-081 Earthwork
  Description

  This record refers to an roughly circular earthwork or mound which is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps but is recorded in an aerial photograph (GSI M 93 -4; Roll 214, pr. 2; SMR file). According to local information, it consisted of a slightly raised circular feature (diam. c. 50 feet [c. 15m]), which was ringed by trees, mostly hazel. It was located on the top of a low natural gravel ridge. In the 1990’s the ridge and the circular feature were entirely quarried out and levelled. The location now consists of flat pasture.

• MA093-098 Cairn - clearance cairn
  Description

  In undulating, hilly pasture, located on the S-facing slope of an esker. Included in the 1996 RMP as cairns on the basis of information from a local source. At this location there are several irregular heaps of stone (Diam. 2-5m; H 0.4m), four of which occur in a rough E–W line on the slope, with two others are located at the base of the slope. They appear to be field clearance cairns of no great antiquity. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 July 2015

• MA093-102 Mound
  Description

  In sharply undulating, hilly pasture, located on an esker overlooking a natural basin of boggy ground to W. There is a dip in ground level c. 50m to SE into a natural water-filled depression. The steep W-facing slopes of the ridge are covered in hazel scrub. The views are not extensive. Circular, sod-covered mound (5.5m N–S; 5m E–W; H 0.35m at W, 0.5m at E) with a flat top (diam. 2-2.5m) which has a hint of a raised lip at W. It was not possible to determine the composition of the mound but the upper layers, at least, appears to be largely earthen. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 June 2022

• MA093-103 Burial
  Description

  In improved pasture, at the base of a quarried out E-facing ridge slope. A road borders the E side of the field. According to local tradition, a man and a woman were travelling the roads during the time of the Famine. The woman died and was buried at this location. The grave was dug into the slope of the ridge and marked by a large stone slab, which was set against the ridge slope. In the late 20th-century the ridge was removed by quarrying. However, the location of the grave was left largely undisturbed. It is evident now as an isolated domed mound of earth (diam. 15m; H 2m) with the stone slab (1.1m x 0.55m; T 0.14m) lying on top. This mound is not ancient; it was artificially created during the reclamation works in order to preserve the location of the burial. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 30 June 2022
