  Description

  Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on an undulating landscape. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 34.2m E-W; 30.2m N-S) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 6.8-7.3m; Wth of base 1-3m; int. D 0.3m at S to 1.2m W-N; ext. D 0.2m at N to 0.6m S-W). The entrance (Wth 3.1m) is at WNW, and the straight side at S (L 20m) is separated from rath (RO022-112002-) by a fosse. Archaeological testing (06E0678) c. 75m to the E failed to produce any related archaeological material (Guinan 2009c). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

  Description

  Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situtated on a rise in an undulating landscape. Circular grass-covered platform (diam. 23.6m E-W; 22.8m N-S) which slopes down to the E (H of slope 1m) defined by a scarp (H 0.6-1m), with an outer fosse (Wth of top 5.7-6.1m; Wth of base 4.2-4.9m; ext. D 0.2-0.5m) W-NE which is reduced to a berm (Wth 7.3-13m) defined by a slight scarp elsewhere. There is no visible entrance, and rath (RO022-112001-) is immediately to the N.

• RO022-114001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  On a slight rise in a low-lying position on the NW bank of the SW-NE Ogulla River, c. 30m to the SE. It was thought that this was the castle built by O'Conor Roe in 1406 (Gormley 1989, 33-4), but this is now likely to be the tower house (RO022-114011-) at the rath (RO022-114003-). This is a circular grass-covered rubble mound with an irregular surface (diam. 26m E-W; 24m N-S; H 1.5m at N to 3.5m at S). Cut stones from a window were found in 1987 and re-buried (SMR file). Archaeological testing (04E0939) c. 100m to the SW in Grange townland failed to recover any related archaeological material (Read 2007). Rath (RO022-114003-) is c. 60m to the SE and the priory (RO022-114006-) is c. 120m to the SSW, on the other side of the stream. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
