  Description

  In pasture, located on a rise in gently undulating terrain, overlooking Ballysadare Bay, the shoreline of which is c. 300m to S. There is a marshy peninsula c. 100m to S which extends S into the bay. This possible rath was partly levelled in 2006 during ground works. It is evident as a roughly D-shaped, raised area (c. 33m NNE–SSW; c. 26m WSW–ESE) most clearly defined on the SW arc but low and degraded elsewhere, with a poorly defined depression (Wth 2.2m; D 0.1m) at SSW possibly indicating an external fosse. A 1991 report recorded it as a roughly circular, raised area (diam. c. 30m) which was defined by a scarp (H 1m) on its S half. The perimeter at N graded into the surrounding field and was difficult to trace. A shallow depression (Wth 3-4m; D 0.1-0.2m) on the W side indicated a possible external fosse.

• SL020-099 Enclosure
  Description

  On a former island (c. 250m N–S; c. 60-70m E–W), named ‘Inishbeg’ on the 1837 OS 6-inch map and ‘Inishcullion’ on the 1913 edition, now connected to the mainland at N by an expanse of flat salt-marsh /grassland. Listed in the RMP as ‘enclosure’ based on a reference in Wood-Martin (1887-8, 255): 'a small circle composed of earth and stones was pointed out on the island of Inishhullion on the opposite, that is to say, the Cuil-irra side of Ballysadare bay…the monument in question is of mean workmanship, and small size, measuring only 21 feet [6.4m] in over-all diameter…’ Wood-martin recorded this in relation to a legend that a fallen warrior was buried in this area following the second Battle of Moytirra. An inspection in 2014 found a small circular feature on level ground, roughly centrally located in the S half of the island. It consist of a flat circular area (3m N–S; 2.8m E–W) enclosed by a narrow, shallow fosse (Wth 0.8m; D 0.1-0.15m). Several stones (max. dim. 0.4-0.8m) are set against the outer perimeter of the fosse. Outside the fosse there is a slight rise or cropmark of shorter grass (Wth 0.8m) which hints at a possible outer bank/wall. The function of this small enclosure is unclear and it is uncertain if it is the feature noted by Wood-Martin. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 August 2014
