• SL047-036 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In undulating pasture, on a slight rise. A raised circular area (int. diam. 32m) enclosed by a degraded earthen bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1m). An external fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.75m) is evident N-S, elsewhere it has been quarried into. The bank is planted with trees.

• SL047-038 Crannog
  Description

  In an inlet of Lough Gara, on marshy ground; views of the open lake are restricted due to the surrounding drumlins. In summer the surrounding area consists of a grassy water meadow. This crannog is covered with undergrowth and a number of mature trees, making inspection difficult. It is a high-cairn crannog (52m N-S; 44m E-W; max. H 2.8m above the meadow) with a central mid-cairn (12m N-S, 10m E-W; H 0.7m) consisting of grass-covered stones. The edge of this mid-cairn is most distinct along the S arc. It is surrounded by a plateau (Wth c. 8m), consisting of small subangular stones. The plateau is distinct to N, W and S but barely discernible to E. A wide berm (Wth 10-12m) surrounds the plateau. In the E portion of the berm is a hollow (5.2m N-S; 6m E-W; D 0.6m) with gently sloping sides. On the S edge of the berm is a low flat bank or wall (Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m). At NE is a ridge which though very overgrown shows a high sand content. It projects to NE as a point. The stone-packing on this site is at all levels compact and grass-covered with the stones being firmly set. There is less vegetation cover on the berm.

A large roughly circular area (diam. c. 55m), with an indefinite edge is visible in the aerial photograph. There are no archaeological remains visible here at ground level. It is not certain that what is visible in the aerial photograph represents an archaeological monument. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC with revisions by Patrick F.

• SL047-096 Crannog
  Description

  In a small marshy inlet, on the E shores of Lough Gara. Discovered in 1991 during monitoring of drainage works at the foreshore (Wren 1991) and described as a spread (12m E-W) of tightly packed, undressed, limestone stones and pink sandstone boulders exposed for the full width of the drain trench (2.8m N-S). The stones (diam. 0.1-0.4m) did not appear to have been laid in any particular pattern and small pieces of decayed wood and immature hazelnut shells were found scattered through the sandy silt on which the stones sat (ibid.). There are now no visible remains of this possible crannog.

• SL047-097 Crannog
  Description

  In a small marshy inlet, on the E shores of Lough Gara. Discovered in 1991 during monitoring of drainage works at the foreshore (Wren 1991) when a small section (2.7m N-S; 8.7m E-W) was exposed. Described as a tightly packed spread of undressed limestone and red sandstone blocks (dims. 0.1-0.4m) surrounded by a 1.3m wide band of post-holes (diam. 0.1-0.2m) (ibid.). The blocks were set in a rough concentration with a definite edge evident at NW and small strips of wood (some burnt) and hazelnuts were found in the sand and marl around the stones (Wren 1991). There are now no visible remains of this crannog.
