Recorded monuments

• MA092-042 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a low ridge. Ground falls away to S to an area of wet ground which extends SE for 200m to the shores of Cloonturnaun Lough. Ground also falls to N to lowlying damp pasture. A modern farmstead lies immediately to W−NW. This rath, named ‘Lisnamucka’ on the 1838 and 1917 OS 6-inch maps, consists of a circular platform (diam. c. 25m) defined by a scarp (H 1.2m at NE, 1.5m at W). The scarp is faced externally with stone and topped with a low stony rim at ENE–NW where it is incorporated into a later property fence. A farm lane (Wth 3.5m) skirts the SW arc. According to local tradition there is a souterrain (MA092-042001-) in the rath interior. The interior is engulfed in blackthorn and brambles, which impeded inspection; the perimeter is thickly ringed with hawthorn, blackthorn and brambles. Another rath (MA092-043----) is located 300m to E. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 March 2022

• MA092-042001 Souterrain
  Description

  Located in a rath (MA092-042). There is a local tradition of a souterrain in the rath, and a slab, which protrudes slightly from the field surface 17m to SSW of the rath, is said to be associated with the souterrain. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 March 2022

• MA092-043 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a rise overlooking Cloonturnaun Lough, which is c. 100m to S, and a broad sweep of lowlying, damp pasture to N–NE. A modern farmstead lies immediately to NE–E. Named ‘Lissanakine’ on the 1838 and 1917 OS 6-inch maps, this rath consists of a circular platform (24m N–S; 24m E–W) defined SE–WSW by a degraded bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m at S) and elsewhere by a scarp (H 1.2-1.5m). The scarp shows evidence of modification: from NW–E the external face has been cut to the vertical. The area immediately outside the scarp was truncated by the construction of a modern bungalow at NE and road which skirts the rath at NW–E. The interior is level and grassy; according to local information, it was tilled as a vegetable garden in the past. There is a gap (Wth c. 3m) at W, but it is unclear if this is an original entrance. There is another rath (MA092-042----) c. 300m to W. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 March 2022
