• RO030-004001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  On a gentle W and SW-facing slope. This is an early ecclesiastical site. Traditionally St Barry commenced the building of a church (RO030-004002-) here, but moved to Kilbarry (RO024-016001-) c. 4 km to the NE. It is described by J. O'Donovan c. 1837 (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 2, 64) as a large circular cashel or caldragh (burial ground) and it is depicted as a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 115m NE-SW; c. 90m NW-SE) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map with the church as a rectangular area (dims c. 30m x c. 20m) on its perimeter at S. It is now a circular grass-covered area (diam. 107m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (at NW: Wth 1.8m; H 0.3m; at SE: Wth 3m; H 0.3m) which is incorporated into a hedge SE-W. The interior is overlain by two NW-SE field banks and hedges placed c. 20m apart just NE of the centre. There is no evidence of a church, but the holy well (RO030-005----) is c. 180m to the E.

• RO030-024 Road - class 1 togher
  Description

  This substantial togher (L 570m) was visible at thirty-three sightings on the field surface and in the drain faces up to 0.55m below the field surface. It was orientated NW-SE across a relatively narrow section (Wth c. 1km) in the centre of Cloonshannagh Bog, connecting Caul at the NW with a low NE-SW ridge in Cloonmore at the SE end. This ridge has the early church site of Cloonmore (RO030-004001-) c. 650m SW of where the togher would reach the dry land at the N end of the ridge. The togher was recorded in 2008 as CLS005a-gg (Rohan 2009) then excavated in 2010 under licence number 10E0250 (Rohan & Whitaker 2013) at sightings ‘a’, ‘i’, ‘p’ and ‘z’. In 2015 the site was excavated in three more locations at sightings ‘j’, ‘v’ and ‘aa’ in 2015 (Coughlan & Whitaker 2019). The excavation in 2015 was carried out under licence 15E0190. Three cuttings were opened. In the first cutting, the trackway was composed of eight roundwood and brushwood construction layers, along with an additional two deposits and spreads of packing material. Many toolmarked ends were noted. Pieces of a wooden vessel were found, as well as a turned wooden artefact. Samples taken gave a radiocarbon date of cal. AD 8-127, as well as an additional dendrochronological date of 93 ± 9 BC. The second cutting showed an upper surface of transverse roundwoods, measuring 4.5-5.7m in width. A second brushwood and roundwood layer supported the upper surface. The basal layer in the cutting was composed of two substantial, longitudinally laid roundwoods. An area of densely laid roundwood and brushwood was located at the S extent. Toolmarked ends, pegs, and artefacts were noted, amongst which a possible figurine and a possible dressed rod. In cutting 3, the upper surface of the trackway was 1.9-3.48m in width and consisted of substantial, transversely laid, split roundwood timbers with occasional brushwoods in between. The substructure was composed of irregularly shaped longitudinal half split and roundwood runners, with short lengths of transverse roundwood, split roundwood and brushwood in between them. Some pegs were recovered and toolmarked ends were noted. Two worked pieces of wood/possible artefacts were recovered from a mixed brushwood and roundwood material to the south of the longitudinal runners. This part of the site was dated cal. 165-4 BC (Coughlan and Whitaker 2019). Compiled by: Michael Moore/Ros O Maoldúin, Edited by Femke Vleeshouwer, 16 April 2020 Date of upload: 12th April, 2011.

• RO030-030 Platform - peatland
  Description

  This site was located in the industrial peatlands of Cloonshannagh Bog. It was first recorded in the 2013 Reassessment Peatland Survey as a roundwood and brushwood platform exposed on the field surface beside a drain edge (Whitaker 2014). The site was excavated in 2014 (licence 14E0277). It was dated to cal. 811-541 BC (UBA-26589). The site consisted of roundwood and brushwood elements, a probable platform that was laid directly on an extensive root horizon. The elements were haphazardly laid and were generally in poor condition. They consisted mainly of pomoideae, followed by ash and alder. The upper elements had been damaged by machinery during milling and the lower elements were soft and mushy. Most of the exposed elements were associated with the root horizon, which continued beyond the limits of the cutting, so the precise extent of the constructed platform was unclear. A single worked end was recovered on a piece of oak brushwood, which was a heavily degraded and rotted chisel point (Coughlan and Whitaker 2019).
