• RO011-150001 House - 17th century
  Description

  Built on the W bank of the River Shannon after 1623 by Maurice Griffith, and situated on a shelf overlooking the River Shannon and the bridge at Carrick-on-Shannon. A wall at the back of Shannonview House is thought to be part of it (OS Name Books), but no diagnostic features are visible (Bradley and Dunne 1988b, 16). Archaeological testing (07E0825) c. 50m to the SW (Read 2010e) and archaeological monitoring (07E0747) of pipe-laying during 2007 failed to produce any related material (Timoney 2011).

• RO011-180 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated in pasture with some rushes on the gentle W-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. The N-S River Shannon loops eastwards c. 600m-1.2km distant from it N-E-SSE, and the small SW-NE Killukin River is at the base of the drumlin c. 250m to the SE. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 24m) defined by a low scarp (at W: Wth 3.6m; H 0.55m). It is cut by a closed E-W land drain towards the perimeter at S. There is no visible fosse or entrance. Rath (RO011-181----) is c. 80m to the ENE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 May, 2015

• RO011-181 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located in improved pasture with regenerated rushes regenerated just below the crest of the N-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. The N-S River Shannon loops eastwards from it c. 600m-1.2km distant N-E-SSE, and it overlooks Carrick-on-Shannon to the N. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 19m E-W; 18m N-S) defined by a low scarp (at E: Wth 1.7m; H 0.15m), which is best preserved SE-SW but is barely traceable NW-NE (downslope). There is no visible entrance but there are slight traces of a fosse at SE and an E-W drain abuts the scarp at S. Rath (RO011-180----) is c. 80m to the WSW and rath (RO011-182----) is c. 170m to the E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 May 2015

• RO011-182 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located in rough pasture on the E-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. The N-S River Shannon loops eastwards from it c. 500-850m distant NNW-E-S, and the small SW-NE Killukin River is at the base of the drumlin c. 130m to the SE. A pool of the River Shannon, into which the Killukin flows, is c. 170m to the NE. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is an oval grass and rush-covered area (dims 32m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (at SSE: Wth of base 4.7m; Wth of top 0.9m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.55m) SE-W-NE, which is reduced to scarp (at E: Wth 2.8m; H 0.75m) NE-SE. There is no visible fosse or entrance. Rath (RO011-181----) is c. 170m to the W.
