• MA071-027001 Chapel
  Description

  Within a rath (MA071-027002-). A rectangular building (c. 14m NE−SW; 6-7m NW−SE), annotated ‘Chapel (in ruins)’, is indicated in the centre of the rath on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; the building is not shown on the 1931 edition, where the location is marked ‘Chapel (site of)’. No remains of the chapel are visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 July 2021

• MA071-027002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a rise which provides good views E-wards over rolling grassland, and within the N half of a possible large enclosure (MA071-027003-). Meelick round tower (MA071-028003-) is visible 400m to SSE. A roughly circular platform (30.7m E−W; c. 30m N−S) defined by a scarp (ext. H 1.45m at NE, 1m at S), which has been cut almost to the vertical and faced with drystone walling. The stone facing is relatively intact along the N arc and in parts at SE, but elsewhere is largely tumbled. A break (Wth 3m) in the scarp at W opens onto a road which skirts the W arc of the enclosure. The interior slopes gently down from the perimeter to centre, giving it a slightly saucer-shaped profile. There is no visible trace of a chapel (MA071-027001-) which is shown in the centre of the interior on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A bullaun stone (MA071-027004-) was found in the NE quadrant of the interior. This enclosure is most likely a rath, which has been modified in the modern era. The drystone facing on the enclosing scarp is probably contemporary with a ruined vernacular cottage/buildings located immediately outside the enclosure at NW. The perimeter is ringed by hawthorn and blackthorn, and blackthorn scrub encroaches on the interior. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 July 2021

• MA071-027003 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, encompassing gently elevated ground. The outline of a possible polygonal or subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 250m NW−SE) is defined in a rough arc at SE−N by a series of straight and gently curving field fences and field drains. A field drain defines the straight E side. The outline is visible on the 1931 OS 6-inch map and in current aerial imagery. There is no definitive evidence that the field banks and drains are ancient.

  Description
