Recorded monuments

• RO011-058 Linear earthwork
  Description

  Two parallel systems of banks and ditches (L c. 1.6km E-W) cut off a loop of the River Shannon to the N which contains c. 2 km(2). This is identified as a defensive earthwork of Connaught against its enemies in Ulster (Kane 1915) and part of the extensive linear defences called the Black Pig's Dyke and the Danes Cast demarking the boundaries of Ulster (Kane 1909). Described as two principal lines of defence, the one to the N consisting of an inner earthen bank (Wth of base c. 30m; H up to 6m) separated by a 'paved causeway' (Wth c. 4-10m) from an outer double bank (Wth c. 3m; H 1m) further N. There are two entrances (Wth c. 16-23m) with inturned horns (L c. 40m) situated c. 80m and c. 650m from the E end. About 60-100m to the S is a second line of defence surviving only at the E end (L c. 300m) and consisting of two earthen banks (Wth c. 4m; H c. 0.8m) separated by a fosse or 'causeway'. These works are interpreted as a defensive line of Connaught controlling a number of fords in the loop and W of the loop in Cuiltyconway (Condit and Buckley 1989). Geophysical survey (Buckley et al. (1990a,b) revealed the possible presence of a central gatepost in the E entrance of the main rampart. Excavation (Buckley and Condit 1991) revealed that the main rampart may have been enlarged, while a calibrated Carbon 14 date of 338-44 BC suggests Iron Age construction (Lanting et al. 1991). Archaeological testing (04E1301) at the W end of the banks in Ardanaffrin failed to produce any related material (Read 2007a, 371, No. 1430). At its W end it meets the River Shannon and c. 370m SW of that point another section of the double-banks (RO011-188----) continue, parallel with the river.

• RO012-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a knoll. Circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 33m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.7-5m; int. H 0.4-1m; ext. H 0.8-1.25m), which is incorporated into a field bank NNW-E, and traces of a fosse visible as a band of rushes (Wth 2.5m) at ESE. The entrance (Wth 3.5m) is at SSE, and a drain has been dug outside the bank S-NW. The S bank of the Doon of Drumsna linear earthwork (RO011-058----) is c. 50m to the N.
