Recorded monuments

• RO035-008 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a gentle N-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 40.5m N-S; 34.7m E-W) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (Wth 3.3m at N to 4.8-5m generally; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 1.6-1.9m) separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 8.8-9.4m; Wth of base 3-3.4m; D 0.4m at E to 0.7m at S to 1.6m at W) NE-S-NW from an outer bank (Wth 2-3m; H 0.1m at S to 0.6m at W) NE-E and S-NW. There is a modernised entrance (Wth 2.1m) at NNE, the lowest point of the interior. Rath (RO035-009001-) is c. 130m to the S. Archaeological testing (09E0275) c. 100m to the NE failed to produce any related material (Carey 2012). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO035-014001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Towards the W end of the crest of a slight E-W ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 45.6m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at S: Wth 4m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.5m) SE-S which is reduced to a scarp (H 1-1.35m) elsewhere. There is a rounded fosse (Wth of top 6.5-7.4m; Wth of base 3m; D 1-1.25m) NE-S-NW, which is circumscribed by a field bank SE-SW. The entrance causeway (Wth 5.2m; H 0.2-0.3m) is at ESE. The W part of the monument is overlain by a NNW-SSE field bank and hedge and in places the site is badly poached. Rath (RO035-014002-) is c. 70m to the E, and a roadway (RO035-140001-) defined by earthen banks on either side extends N from the rath on aerial photograph (CUCAP: AJQ 99) (L c. 200m). A short stretch (L c. 20m) of this survives c. 50m to the N as a carriageway (Wth 3m) defined by a field bank at W and an earthen bank (Wth 0.7m; H 0.3m) at E. See the attached aerial image taken from the N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO035-014002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  At the crest of a slight E-W ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 44.8m N-S; 43m E-W) defined by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 6.5-8.8m; Wth of base 2.9-4.8m; D 0.65-1.4m) ENE-S-NNW with slight traces of an inner bank (L 7m; Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.35m) at WSW. The outer edge of the fosse is bounded by field banks E-S and WSW-WNW, and there is a quarry on the inner edge of the fosse at S. There is no identifiable original entrance, but souterrain (RO035-014003-) is inside the perimeter at NE. Rath (RO035-014001-) is c. 70m to the W, and a roadway (RO035-104002-) defined by slight scarps (H 0.03-0.1m) on either side extends N from the rath (L c. 200m). Archaeological testing (04E1297) immediately to the E of this road in 2004 produced no archaeological material (Read 2007h). See the attached aerial image taken from the NW.

• RO035-014003 Souterrain
  Description

  Inside the perimeter of rath (RO035-014002-) at NE. This is a rectangular depression (dims of top 4.6m NNW-SSE; 2.2m ENE-WSW; D 0.5m) with the lintel of an inaccessible souterrain visible at the SSE end. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO035-015001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  At the crest of a N-facing slope within field system (RO035-015002-). It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a rectangular hachured feature at the SE angle of a field on the 1911 edition, representing the NW quadrant. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims 23.7m E-W; 22.7m N-S) defined by earthen banks (Wth 3.3-5.1m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 0.3-1m) which survive best at the SE corner (int. H 1.3m). There are quarries outside the banks at N and W but there is no identifiable original entrance, and the perimeter was integrated with field banks at S and E, which probably altered its shape into its present form.

• RO035-015002 Field system
  Description

  On a N-facing slope. An area of about 16 acres (c. 6.5 ha) contains a field system defined by low banks or scarps. It consists of large rectangular fields (dims c. 200m x c. 100m) and incorporates rath (RO035-015001-), altering its shape into a subrectangular form. Although the fields are not recorded on any map they are not likely to be ancient. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO035-104001 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  On a N-facing slope. A roadway defined by earthen banks on either side extends N from rath (RO035-014001-) on aerial photograph (CUCAP: AJQ 99) (L c. 230m). A short stretch (L c. 20m) of this survives c. 50m N of the rath as a carriageway (Wth 3m) defined by a field bank at W and an earthen bank (Wth 0.7m; H 0.3m) at E. North of the NE-SW Strokestown to Four Mile House road (R368) the ancient road continues until it reaches the low-lying ground of a SW-NE valley.

• RO035-104002 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  On a N-facing slope. A roadway defined by low earthen banks or scarps on either side extends N from rath (RO035-014002-) on aerial photograph (CUCAP: AJQ 99) (L c. 200m). A slightly sunken roadway (Wth c. 7m) defined by slight scarps (H 0.05-0.1m) survives (L c. 125m) as far as the NE-SW Strokestown to Four Mile House road (R368), beyond which the ancient road survives more robustly (L c. 55m) defined by earthen banks (Wth c. 2m; H 0.5m) until it reaches the low-lying ground of a SW-NE valley. Archaeological testing (04E1297) immediately to the E and S of the R368 produced no related material (Read 2007h). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO035-104003 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  Towards the bottom of a N and NW-facing slope. On the N side of the NE-SW Strokestown to Four Mile House road (R368) a relict road connects with the W side of the old road (RO035-104001-) and is visible as two earthen banks placed 5-9m apart extending SW (L c. 330m), which closely follows the line of the present road. At its W end a branch begins to extend S towards rath (RO035-008----) c. 120m distant. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 August, 2015
