• TS061-027 Moated site
  Description

  In improved, generally level pasture. Trapezoidal area (dims. c. 35m E-W; c. 28m N-S) defined by remains of bank (overall Wth 5.4m; Wth at top 2.45m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.25m) where seen intermittently to W (L 26m) N (L 32m) and E ( 22m). Fosse (overall Wth 6.45m; basal Wth 1.8m; D 0.6m) is waterlogged where seen intermittently. Monument obscured by dense overgrowth to S and interior is largely inaccessible. Field boundary (long axis N-S) terminates at NW-corner. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS061-028 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In improved pasture, on upper edge of a gentle E-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 22m) defined by scarp (Wth 2.5m; H 1m) NW-NE, levelled NE-SE and obscured by vegetation SE-NW. Scarp wide and uneven NW-NE, where an abutting field boundary is depicted on latest edition OS 6-inch map. An external fosse (Wth c. 4m; D 0.45m) is re-cut SE-NW and backfilled NW-SE. Interior is generally level and uneven in N-sector. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS061-029 Enclosure
  Description

  In gently undulating pasture. Oval area (dims. 28m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by bank (overall Wth 5.25m; Wth at top 2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.65m) N-E which is very low profile SW-W and reduced to scarp (Wth 3.35m; H 0.4m) E-SW. Bank is incorporated into field boundary NNW-ENE where it is best preserved. Gap (Wth 16m) where bank is levelled W-NNW. Possible fosse (overall Wth 6.35m; basal Wth 1.75m; D 0.15m) SE-S, is backfilled elsewhere and occupied by a trackway NW-E. Interior has a gentle S-facing slope. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS061-148 Habitation site
  Description

  Archaeological excavations in 2002 to the W of a moated site (TS061-027----) revealed several features including stake-/ post-holes and several spreads of burnt stone contained within shallow pits (Lennon 2004, 471-2). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 27 August 2014

• TS061-150 Burnt pit
  Description

  Archaeologically excavated in advance of construction of the N8 Cashel Bypass and the N74 Link Road. The excavation uncovered the remains of a previously unknown D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 30m x 23m) defined by a V-shaped fosse (Wth 1.2-1.65m; D 0.68m). The fosse became shallower as it approached the edge of a wetland area to the SE. The eastern terminus of the enclosure fosse had been recut and realigned slightly more to the N. The N-facing entrance was defined by a causeway (Wth 2.5m). There was no evidence of a bank. Near the centre of the enclosure was a small oval-shaped pit (Wth 0.53-0.42m; D 0.14m) filled with grey-brown charcoal-flecked silty clay and several small fragments of cremated bone. In the SW corner of the enclosure four pits and a stake-hole were uncovered. The pits were oval or circular in shape, (diam. 0.3-0.83m; max. D 0.3m). Three were filled with grey-brown charcoal-flecked sandy silts and one contained traces of oxidised clay and fragments of burnt bone. A further two pits were identified in the SE corner of the enclosure. The first was a rectangular-shaped pit (dims. 1.86m x 1.31m; D 0.35m). The second was an oblong (dims. 1.05m x 0.62m; D 0.32m). Both were filled with grey-brown charcoal-flecked sandy silts. To the NW of the enclosure and close to the entrance were three possible stake-holes and a post-hole. An isolated stake-hole was uncovered to the S of the enclosure and two small pits to the NE. The pits were filled with dark-brown to grey charcoal-flecked sandy silts and contained moderate quantities of small stones. A further two pits were to the W of the enclosure. The first was rectangular in shape (dims. 0.9m x 0.85m; D 0.29m). This pit was truncated by the second larger circular pit (dims. 1.23m x 1.1m; D 0.42m). Both pits were filled with charcoal-flecked silty sands. A small pit and a possible post-hole were close to the NW edge of the enclosure. The pit had an oval shape with a V-shaped profile (dims. 0.7m x 0.6m; D 0.3m). It was filled with silts and sands. An additional two pits were to the NW of the enclosure close to the modern field boundary. The first was oval in shape with a bowl-shaped profile (dims. 0.6m x 0.7m; D 0.3m). The second pit had no archaeological significance. A small cluster of six post-holes and a possible pit were uncovered close to the edge of the enclosure to the SW. The pit was semicircular in shape with a bowl-shaped profile (diam. 1.57m; D 0.35m) and filled with grey to brown charcoal-flecked silty clays and occasional small stones. Further to the west was an isolated post-hole. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 27 August 2014

• TS061-180 Architectural fragment
  Description

  One of two limestone fragments (see also TS061-181----) which had been incorporated in a limestone rubble wall on the N side of the Cashel - Dualla road, SE of Cashel Community school. It is probable that these fragments originally came from the Franciscan friary (TS061-025008-) in Cashel, located c. 400m SW of this wall. The fragment (L 0.57m; Wth 0.27m; T 0.15m) was part of a door surround and has a chamfered edge (Wth 0.12m) which is dressed within a plain margin. It is currently located in a garden 1.7km NE of the friary. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 5 March 2013

• TS061-181 Architectural fragment
  Description

  One of two limestone fragments (TS061-180----) which had been incorporated in a limestone rubble wall on the N side of the Cashel - Dualla road, SE of Cashel Community school. It is probable that these fragments originally came from the Franciscan friary (TS061-025008-) in Cashel, located c. 400m SW of this wall. The fragment (L 0.48m; Wth 0.16m; T 0.16m) was part of a door surround and has a chamfered edge (Wth 0.08m). It is currently located in a garden 1.7km NE of the friary.

• TS061-182 Architectural feature
  Description

  A stoup was uncovered in a garden W of the medieval church (TS053-064----) of Ballykelly and it is probable that it came from this church originally (O'Brien 2006, 92-4). The stoup is currently located in a garden outside Cashel. It consists of a roughly circular bowl (dims. 0.165m x 0.2m; D 0.08m) at one end of a rectangular block of limestone (dims. 0.31m x 0.38m; H 0.25m). The outer edge of the bowl has broken off but the base of the bowl is still intact. The inner face of the bowl is roughly dressed. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 14 March 2013
