  Description

  Towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of a rise c. 110m N of the W-E Boyle River. Oval grass-covered area (int. dims. 42m N-S; 24.2m E-W) defined by a stone spread (Wth 1.9-3m; int. H 0.1-0.25m; ext. H 0.7-1.3m) incorporated into an overgrown field wall S-N, and a scarp (H 0.5-1.75m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance.

  Description

  In 1952 drainage works on the Boyle River lowered the water level of the Lough Gara lakes, and artefacts recovered from crannogs were reported to the National Museum of Ireland. That autumn, Dr. J. Raftery and Miss E. Prendergast of the Museum staff collected artefacts from about 150 crannogs which they noted in the lakes and on the Boyle River. Dr. Raftery permitted Mr. R. E. Cross, the project engineer, to publish a map (1953) based on his own preliminary survey with numbered crannogs, a copy of which is now held in the Department of Archaeology at University College Dublin. During 1953 further drainage work on the river resulted in another reduction of the water level, which revealed numerous cairns on both sides of the river below the outlet from Upper Lough Gara. Dr. Raftery was at that time engaged in excavating crannogs at Rathtinaun (SL047-021----) and Tivannagh (RO005-012003-), but undertook in his free time to supervise an instrument survey of these additional features, which were not expected to survive and which were not properly understood. This mapped survey, from which no artefacts were recovered, is known as the Forsyth survey after one the surveyors, whose name appears on one of the finished maps. It did not necessarily include a revisit of Raftery’s 1952 preliminary survey, and where it did a natural concordance does not always occur. The Forsyth survey is retained in the National Museum of Ireland. The Raftery material was subsequently examined by Dr. C. Fredengren (2002, App. 1, 32, BOYL 054), who describes this feature (Raftery: No. 122) as a possible small platform crannog on the NW shore of the river from which one chert flake was recovered. It has a recorded altitude of 218.93 feet above the datum of Poolbeg lighthouse, and is currently in pasture (Bing 2013) on the N bank of the river.

This large crannog (Raftery No. 124) was located in a bay at the W end of Lough Gara Lower, and was excavated (E000020) by Raftery in the 1950s when occupation levels from the early medieval, and possibly the Neolithic, were recorded (Raftery 1957). It was a raised D-shaped area (dims 30m NE-SW; 26m NW-SE; H 0.75-1m). (Fredengren 2002, App. 1, 32, BOYL 056). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 9 November 2017

  Description

  In 1952 drainage works on the Boyle River lowered the water level of the Lough Gara lakes, and artefacts recovered from crannogs were reported to the National Museum of Ireland. That autumn, Dr. J. Raftery and Miss E. Prendergast of the Museum staff collected artefacts from about 150 crannogs which they noted in the lakes and on the Boyle River. Dr. Raftery permitted Mr. R. E. Cross, the project engineer, to publish a map (1953) based on his own preliminary survey with numbered crannogs, a copy of which is now held in the Department of Archaeology at University College Dublin. During 1953 further drainage work on the river resulted in another reduction of the water level, which revealed numerous cairns on both sides of the river below the outlet from Upper Lough Gara. Dr. Raftery was at that time engaged in excavating crannogs at Rathtinaun (SL047-021----) and Tivannagh (RO005-012003-), but undertook in his free time to supervise an instrument survey of these additional features, which were not expected to survive and which were not properly understood. This mapped survey, from which no artefacts were recovered, is known as the Forsyth survey after one the surveyors, whose name appears on one of the finished maps. It did not necessarily include a revisit of Raftery’s 1952 preliminary survey, and where it did a natural concordance does not always occur. The Forsyth survey is retained in the National Museum of Ireland. This feature is recorded only on the Forsyth survey and is depicted as a small cairn (diam. c. 5m) with a recorded altitude of 220.54 feet above the datum of Poolbeg Lighthouse. It is on the N shore of Lough Gara Lower, and is currently in pasture (Bing 2013). It is separate from the nearby (RO005-012017-) which has the same characteristics and altitude.

  Description

  In 1952 drainage works on the Boyle River lowered the water level of the Lough Gara lakes, and artefacts recovered from crannogs were reported to the National Museum of Ireland. That autumn, Dr. J. Raftery and Miss E. Prendergast of the Museum staff collected artefacts from about 150 crannogs which they noted in the lakes and on the Boyle River. Dr. Raftery permitted Mr. R. E. Cross, the project engineer, to publish a map (1953) based on his own preliminary survey with numbered crannogs, a copy of which is now held in the Department of Archaeology at University College Dublin. During 1953 further drainage work on the river resulted in another reduction of the water level, which revealed numerous cairns on both sides of the river below the outlet from Upper Lough Gara. Dr. Raftery was at that time engaged in excavating crannogs at Rathtinaun (SL047-021----) and Tivannagh (RO005-012003-), but undertook in his free time to supervise an instrument survey of these additional features, which were not expected to survive and which were not properly understood. This mapped survey, from which no artefacts were recovered, is known as the Forsyth survey after one the surveyors, whose name appears on one of the finished maps. It did not necessarily include a revisit of Raftery’s 1952 preliminary survey, and where it did a natural concordance does not always occur. The Forsyth survey is retained in the National Museum of Ireland. This feature is recorded only on the Forsyth survey (1953) as a circular feature (diam. c. 10m) with a recorded altitude of 217.73 (?) feet above the datum of Poolbeg lighthouse. It is situated on the N bank of the Boyle river in reclaimed pasture, and is visible as a subcircular grass-covered rise (dims 23m NW-SE; 19m NE-SW; H 0.1-0.4m) backing onto the river bank at S where nine posts laid horizontally in the stream can be seen.

The Forsyth survey is retained in the National Museum of Ireland. This feature is depicted as a small island (diam. c. 5m) on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map close to what was the N shore of Lower Lough Gara or the Boyle river but is now in flat, low-lying drained ground. It is not visible at ground level in rough pasture and scrub. It was not noted by Raftery, Forsyth, or Fredengren (2003), although Forsyth depicts a causeway of timbers or stones (L c. 20m) on the foreshore c. 20m to the SW. This causeway extended from the N bank of the river, decreasing in altitude from 220.31 to 218.34 feet above the datum of Poolbeg lighthouse.

  Description

  In 1952 drainage works on the Boyle River lowered the water level of the Lough Gara lakes, and artefacts recovered from crannogs were reported to the National Museum of Ireland. That autumn, Dr. J. Raftery and Miss E. Prendergast of the Museum staff collected artefacts from about 150 crannogs which they noted in the lakes and on the Boyle River. Dr. Raftery permitted Mr. R. E. Cross, the project engineer, to publish a map (1953) based on his own preliminary survey with numbered crannogs, a copy of which is now held in the Department of Archaeology at University College Dublin. During 1953 further drainage work on the river resulted in another reduction of the water level, which revealed numerous cairns on both sides of the river below the outlet from Upper Lough Gara. Dr. Raftery was at that time engaged in excavating crannogs at Rathtinaun (SL047-021----) and Tivannagh (RO005-012003-), but undertook in his free time to supervise an instrument survey of these additional features, which were not expected to survive and which were not properly understood.
