Recorded monuments
- TS049-023 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a S-facing slope of rising grassland in the Slieveardagh hills with good views from E through S to W, higher ground to N. Nearby ringfort (TS049-022----) 230m to the W. Monument consists of a slightly raised circular area (diam. 21m N-S; 22.5m E-W-) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (top Wth 1.5m; base Wth 2.5m; ext. H 0.6m; int. H 0.1-0.2m ) and slight traces of an outer fosse (base Wth 2.5m top Wth 4m; ext. D ) on upslope only. Enclosing bank best preserved at N on the upslope only elsewhere it has been mainly reduced to a scarp, due to cattle erosion, with the interior sloping from N to S following natural slope of land. Interior covered in coniferous trees planted possibly in the early 1900s. Gap (Wth 1.2m) in bank at SSE, may be cattle gap or may be poorly preserved entrance feature.

- TS049-039 Barrow - ring-barrow
Description
Just below top of hill on a W-facing slope of land in upland area with good extensive views in all directions. Ringfort (TS049-036----) visible 600m to W. Poorly preserved monument the interior of which has been used as a dumping area for building rubble and agricultural equipment and field clearance debris. This dumping makes detailed examination or proper classification impossible. Monument now situated on reclaimed re-seeded grassland but originally located on wet marshy land in upland area. Fields to N and W have been reclaimed and field boundaries which immediately enclosed the monument to N and W have been levelled. Fields to E and S have not been reclaimed and field boundaries are intact. Monument consists of a circular area (int. diam. 15m N-S; 20m NE-SW; overall diam. 25m N-S ) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (base Wth. 4m; top Wth. 1.45m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.8m) and wet outer fosse (Wth 3m; ext. D 0.4m) visible at S only. Large gap (Wth 10m) in bank at N which has been inserted to provide access for dumping. Possible remains of a circular mound in centre of monument and indications of an inner fosse would suggest a classification of ring-barrow. Monument depicted as a possible ringbarrow on latest ed. OS 6-inch map. Overall dimensions and location would support classification of monument as a possible ring-barrow. Evidence of cattle poaching to external face of bank at W side. Wet outer fosse has been filled in from W to N probably when field was reclaimed. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
