Small stone (H 0.35m; Wth 0.75m), pyramidal in shape is located 12m due N of cairn and is similar to the triangular-shaped stone associated with the nearby wedge-tomb (TS071-054----).

• TS071-022002 Souterrain
  Description

  Presence of a souterrain referred to by Keatinge (1858-9, 11) as 'a sewer leading from the fort; and on asking him [the local guide] why it was in ruins, he informed me that some couple of years ago a fox, hotly pressed by the Tipperary hounds, had earthed in it, and was dug out, which accounts for its present state'. Within W-side of enclosure (TS071-022001-). Linear depression (L 8m on N-side; L 9m on S-side; basal Wth 1m; overall Wth 4.5m; D 0.7m to N; 0.95m to S) adjoining interior of bank of enclosure (TS071-022001-) at W.

Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS071-023002 Souterrain
  Description

  Keatinge (1858-9, 12) refers to the souterrain as being on the E side of the ringfort and describes it as 'a passage or way within the rath, and on the inner side of this passage I found more than one half of a little building, of the rudest stones, but still showing great tact and ingenuity in the erection of a bell or beehive-shaped entrance to the rath. At the bottom, a passage, choked somewhat with debris, leads into the fort, and some of the people in the immediate neighbourhood have gone in a short way', he goes on to describe how a local man 'entered with lights, and on going in a few yards through the sewer-like passage, he found it so enlarge so as to be able to stand erect. This man said that he found rooms of some extent and several small ones on the sides of the passage'. Associated with ringfort (TS071-023001-). No visible surface trace. Not depicted or named on 1st (1840) ed. or 2nd (1904) ed. OS 6-inch maps. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 30 September 2014

  Description

  In mature forestry, currently being felled, on a gentle E-facing slope. Access not gained. Depicted on 1st (1840) and 2nd (1904) ed. OS 6-inch maps as circular enclosure (diam. c. 32m). Field boundary depicted at tangent to E on 1843 map and truncating E-sector on current map. No buffer zone in forestry noted from vantage point of Sheegouna. It is possible that this monument has been levelled and is the one described by Keatinge (1858-9, 11) as 'the site of another fort (but which is now levelled)'.

Earth and stone bank (int. H 0.6-1.1m; ext. H 1.45-1.5m; Wth 6.5-7.7m) is SW-N-SE and truncated by road SE-S-SW. External fosse (basal Wth 1.7m; overall Wth 6.2m; D 0.2m) SW-N-NE is in-filled NE-SE probably due to a trackway shown on latest edition OS 6-inch map. Interior generally level; depression (L 4.5m; Wth 3.3m; D 0.5m) within NW quadrant. Possibly two phases of enclosure (overall dims. 30m N-S; 34m E-W).

• TS071-054 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  In upland heath, on a SE-facing slope of Sheegouna, on the eastern side of Slievenamon Mountain. Monument identified during field survey. A rectangular structure (overall dims. 2.8m N-S; 2.5m E-W; internal dims. 2.25m E-W; 1.1m N-S tapering to 0.6m towards the rear) which opens out to the E. The side walls are constructed of a combination of orthostats (H 0.77-1.1m) and rubble stone wall (T 0.8m) and are leaning into the interior. There is one lintel (dims. L 0.92m; T c. 0.4m) towards the rear supported on two orthostats and another collapsed stone (L 0.75m; T 0.36m) at the rear which appears to have been another lintel. The entrance is defined on either side by orthostats. A wall (int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.6m) runs from the entrance northwards, revetting the hillslope. Cairn (TS071-021----) on Sheegouna is c. 112m to NE. The passage tombs at Knockroe (KK034-019001-) and Baunfree (KK034-031----), Co. Kilkenny are located 10km to the E and 13KM to ENE respectively. A small triangular-shaped stone (H 0.35m; T 0.42m) is located 18m to the WSW and is similar to the triangular-shaped stone associated with the nearby cairn (TS071-021----).
