Recorded monuments

• RO047-051 Field system
  Description

  On a gentle S-facing slope. This is an area of about 7.5 acres (c. 3 ha) containing small fields defined by drystone walls which are still upright and functional on aerial photograph (CUCAP: APH 48) and the fields are mapped on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. There are no dwellings present and the fields are irregularly shaped (dims c. 20-30m x c. 40-50m). There is no evidence of lazy-beds in the photograph but the fields are likely to be 18th or 19th century in date. This area is now reclaimed pasture and no features remain to be seen.

• RO047-052 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure, and situated on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered platform (dims 34.4m NNE-SSW; 27.7m WNW-ESE) defined by an earth and stone scrub-covered bank (Wth 2.4-3m; H 0.3-0.6m) which is best preserved S-NW but reduced to a scarp elsewhere. There is slight evidence of an ancient stone wall on top of this scarp, but a field wall obscures the perimeter NW-E-S. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.

• RO047-053 Field system
  Description

  On a gentle SW-facing slope in an area of good pasture. An area of about 20 acres (c. 8 ha) containing irregularly subrectangular fields of c. 0.5 ha defined by drystone walls is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: APH 47). These walls pre-date the modern strip system which overlies it, but they are also marked on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. There is no evidence of settlement or of lazy-bed cultivation. The area has now been almost completely reclaimed and the surviving area covers about 4 acres (c. 1.5 ha). It is adjacent to and part of the field system (RO047-054002-) which is c. 200m to the E and field system (RO047-051----) which is c. 300m to the N.

• RO047-086 Children's burial ground
  Description

  On a rise in undulating landscape. Rectangular grass and scrub-covered area (int. dims 15.4m NE-SW; 13.7m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall with some bushes, best preserved on the NE side with facing-stones (original Wth 0.9m; surviving H 0.65m). The interior has many grave-markers and there are local memories of burials occurring up to the end of the 19th century. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO047-087 Sweathouse

• RO047-104 Stone sculpture (present location)
  Description

  Now sitting in the front garden of a house, and recorded by Gary Dempsey. A cylindrical stone (max. diam. 0.5m; H 0.29m) has a basin on top (diam. c. 0.3m), but the sides have been decorated with a number of horizontal mouldings (diam. of base c. 0.4m). The stone was recovered from a ditch in Ardsallagh Beg, just outside Roscommon town c. 2000. It may have been made in the style of the capitals of Roscommon Abbey (ME039-055001-), c. 700m to the WNW, although at twice the scale, and it could have been created by the inmates of the workhouse, just to the W of its findspot.
