Recorded monuments

• MA031-056 Megalithic tomb - passage tomb
  Description

  In lowlying, level pasture, 3m S of a stream, and 120m E of the confluence of the stream with the Fiddaun River. There are good, but not extensive views of the surrounding countryside, with the Ox Mountains defining the skyline to SE. This passage tomb not shown on the 1837-8 OS 6-inch map, but is shown on the 1922 edition. It was recorded by Herity (1974, 280) as follows: ‘On a low gravel hillock, immediately south of a stream on the west side of the Ox Mountains and 10km south of the Carrowhubbock tombs (SL1, 2), stands a ring of large boulders 21m in diameter with a boulder built chamber in the centre. To the east of the chamber are two matched stones, presumably a passage.’ Inspected in 1995, it consists of a circular, flat-topped rise or mound (diam. c. 30-35m) with broadly sloping sides (H 1.7m to S). On top of the mound, set several meters in from the edge, is a circle (diam. c. 16m) of close-set or contiguous boulders, best preserved on the SW arc. There are several gaps or breaks in the circle, the largest being to N and SE. The boulders (H 0.8-1.1m; circ. 2.5-3m) are irregular or rounded in form; some are set in the ground, others appear to merely rest on it. There are a few displaced stones on the N edge of the mound. A number of large stones protrude from a slight depression in the centre of the circle. These may be part of a chamber. A pair of matched stones (L 0.7m; H 0.4m), set 0.8m apart, stands 1m to E and may represent remnants of a passage, aligned E-W. A dense growth of gorse and brambles impeded inspection.

• MA040-020001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a rise in undulating terrain, with a stream/drain 100m to S. A N−S road borders the NW side of the field, a few meters NW of the rath. Raised circular area (26.4m E−E; 27m N−S) enclosed by a stony earthen bank. The bank (Wth 3.7m at NNW, 2.8m at SSE; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.55m NNW, 0.75m at SSE) has a low internal face, especially on the E arc, where it is reduced almost to a scarp; there are several areas of erosion by farm stock. A gap (Wth c. 1.7m) at SE, now partly blocked at its outer edge by a heap of field clearance debris, may be the location of an original entrance. The interior slopes down slightly to SSE. In the NW quadrant, there is a roughly square hollow (2m NW−SE; 2m NE−SW; D 0.3m), with a flat slab (L c. 1m; Wth 0.5m) protruding from the beneath the sod on the SE side. The hollow is bordered on the N side by a sod-covered heap (2m NE−SW; 1.5m NW−SE; H 0.4m) of stony soil, which appears to be upcast soil from the hollow, suggesting relatively recent disturbance. A very slight surface depression (Wth c. 1.5m) extends for c. 5m from the hollow to the inner face of the enclosing bank at NNW. These features might be indicative of a souterrain, but there is no definitive proof. Grass cover, with moderate hawthorn and blackthorn on the perimeter at SE−S. Low heaps of field clearance stones are piled against the external face of the bank on the SE−S arc. There are two raths (MA040-023----; MA040-024----) 200m and 350m to SE, respectively, both visible from this rath. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 May 2020

• MA040-020002 Souterrain
  Description

  In the W half of a rath (MA040-020001-), close to the inner face of the bank. A surface opening consists of a gap (1.7m NW−SE; 1m NE−SW) between two in situ lintels, one on the NE edge of the hole and one the SE edge. The opening gives access to the NNE end of a chamber (L 3.3m NNE−SSW; Wth 1.6m at N end; H 0.8m at N end, 1.3m at S end) which extends to SSE. The walls are of drystone construction, with a slight corbelling of the upper courses to support a roof of four large lintels. The chamber appears roughly ovoid in plan, broadest at the NNE end, where the current opening is, with gently curving walls narrowing toward the blind end at S. The floor slopes down gently from N to S, so that the chamber is highest at the S end. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 May 2020

• MA040-024 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, located on a rise, providing good views, especially extensive to W. It is located on the SW boundary of the townland. Raised roughly circular area (31.4m N−S; c. 28m E−W) defined by remnants of a bank. The bank is reduced to a scarp (Wth 3.7-4m; ext. H 1.5m at SSE, 1.9m at N−NW) with a slightly raised stony internal rim (max. H 0.3m, at SSE). At S−NW the scarp is truncated or incorporated into a field wall, which slightly respects the curve of the rath, outside which is a farm laneway. The scarp is rather dilapidated and uneven in its slope, especially on the N arc. The interior appears higher in the N half, sloping down from centre towards S. There is a slight hollow (c. 4m across) against the inner edge of the scarp at N. A ragged gap (Wth 3.5m) at E, sloping down to the exterior, may be the location of an original entrance. Interior is grass-covered; moderate hawthorn and brambles around the perimeter. Large field clearance boulders have been pushed against the scarp at SE. There is a rath (MA040-023----) 140m to W, another (MA040-021001-) 350m to NW, and an enclosure (MA040-025----) 150m to SSE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 May 2020
