- RO007-002 Ringfort - rath
Description
Towards the top of the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims. 20m E-W; 18m N-S) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.2-1m) SE-NW. It is truncated at N by an E-W field bank and at E by a N-S field bank. There is no visible fosse or but there is a modern entrance at SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO007-015001 House - 16th/17th century
Description
Built, probably c. 1600-1610, by Sir Charles Coote. His son, Sir Charles, was besieged here by Con O'Rourke in 1641 and again in 1643 by John Burke, both of whom failed to capture it. The original house was burned in 1798, being replaced by a farmhouse which is still occupied. It is situated on a rise overlooking the NW-SE Boyle river, c. 150m to the SW. The remains consist of the square bawn (RO007-015002-). A fragment of the original house consisting of a chimney stack straddles the line of the S bawn wall, where the original entrance to the bawn was probably located.

- RO007-015002 Bawn
Description
Built, probably c. 1600-1610, by Sir Charles Coote. His son, Sir Charles, was besieged here by Con O'Rourke in 1641 and again in 1643 by John Burke, both of whom failed to capture it. The original house was burned in 1798, being replaced by a farmhouse which is still occupied. It is situated on a rise overlooking the NW-SE Boyle river, c. 150m to the SW. The remains consist of the square bawn (int. dims. 57m N-S; 57m E-W) defined by masonry walls which survive almost complete (H c. 3m; T 0.8m) at the N and E sides, and at the N end of the W side. The N wall has its original eight gun-loops, with surviving totals of four on the E and three on the W walls. The SE corner tower is incorporated in the present dwelling but the NE and NW circular towers (int. diam. 3.9m) have two storeys, with three gun-loops on each ground floor and fireplaces on the first. A fragment of the original house (RO007-015001-) consisting of a chimney stack straddles the line of the S bawn wall, where the original entrance to the bawn was probably located. Archaeological testing c. 20-40m S of the bawn produced post-medieval maerial (Read 2008c), while testing c. 150-300m to the SE-S produced no archaeological material (Read 2009c; Delaney 2008, 2009b). Archaeological testing during 2008 on the line of the bawn wall at E produced evidence of the bawn wall and internal features (Read 2011b).
