• MA070-038 Hut site
  Description

  On a gentle, overgrown E-facing slope in hazel and birch scrub, c. 175m to the E of Levallinree Lough. Reported as a possible hut site (SMR file). No visible surface trace of a monument was found at the reported location. A ringfort (MA070-039001-) containing a house site (MA070-039002-) and a souterrain (MA070-039003-) lies c. 70m to the SW.

• MA070-039001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Just off the summit at the S end of a N-S ridge, in dense birch and hazel scrub overlooking Levallinree Lough c. 120m to the W, and originally overlooking a small sheltered bay c. 30m to the S which has since dried out as the result of drainage. When inspected in 1983 (SMR file), the monument was found to comprise an oval-shaped area (int. diams. c. 34m NE-SW; c. 29m NW-SE) defined by the remains of an inner and an outer stone wall with an intervening fosse. The inner enclosing wall (int. H 1.5m; Wth 2m; ext. H 2.5m) had a gap (Wth 1.7m) at NNW which appeared to have been rebuilt on either side and which did not appear to be an original entrance. The fosse (Wth 2.5-3m) was flat-bottomed. The outer enclosing wall (int. H over fosse 2.5m; Wth. 2m; ext. H 1m) was partially tumbled, its outer facing stones in particular having slipped outward. It contained a denuded gap (Wth 2m) at S which was flanked on its W side by a large natural boulde, suggesting an original entrance. The interior contained six possible house sites (MA070-039002-) and there was a local tradition that it also contained a souterrain (MA070-039003-). When reinspected in 2025, the monument was found to be densely overgrown and impenetrable in parts. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 3-11-2025

• MA070-039002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In the interior of a densely overgrown bivallate cashel (MA070-039001-). When inspected in 1983, six separate structures were noted: two possible square house sites and four possible round houses or huts (SMR file). At the centre of the monument, the remains of two square drystone built structures (int. L c. 4-5m; Wth c. 4-5m; wall H 0.8-1.3m) stood almost back-to-back and were aligned on a NE-SW axis. The remains of two possible circular hut or house sites (int. diam. c. 3-4m) abutted the inner wall face of the cashel at N and two similar structures abutted the wall at S. There was also a local tradition of a souterrain (MA070-029003-) in the interior of the cashel. When reinspected in 2025, the monument was found to be totally overgrown and impenetrable in parts.  Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 3-11-2025

• MA070-039003 Souterrain
  Description

  In the interior of a bivallate cashel (MA070-039001-). When inspected in 1983 (SMR file), a local tradition was recorded that the cashel contained two souterrains; one associated with a round house (MA070-039002-) abutting the inner face of the cashel wall at S and the other at the centre of the monument. Neither was visible on that inspection. When reinspected in 2025, the interior of the cashel was found to be totally overgrown and impenetrable in places.
