Recorded monuments

• MA111-044 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Located on a low elevation close to the NW boundary of the townland, in the NW corner of a pasture field, in an area of lowlying, damp pasture. Views are open to NE−E, but are restricted elsewhere by high field fences, and by a forestry plantation located c. 300m to SE. It is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked enclosure, and on the 1930 edition as a subcircular enclosure (c. 25m N−S; c. 30m E−W) outlined by a single line of hachuring; named ‘Knocknaglogh Fort’ on both editions. The remains consist of a roughly oval rise (24.7m NE−SW; c. 17m NW−SE) defined by a partly levelled scarp. On the NW side the scarp is reduced to a broad low slump (H 0.4m; Wth slope c. 5m), and at SSE, where there is a natural fall of ground, it appears almost linear. Heaps of field clearance boulders abut the scarp at ESE. According to local information, there was a children’s burial ground (MA111-044001-) in the interior. Grass cover, with a few hawthorn bushes.

• MA111-044001 Children's burial ground
  Description

  In a rath (MA111-044----) named ‘Knocknaglogh Fort’ on the OS 6-inch maps. According to local tradition, the interior of the rath was used for the burial of unbaptized babies. A few small, moss-covered stones barely protruding above the ground surface are said to mark graves. In the W half, a roughly square hollow (2.7m across; D 0.2m) is also said to be the site of a grave, and small stones were once visible around its edge.
