Recorded monuments
- TS046-045 Enclosure
Description
On flat pasture with good views in all directions, with nearby River Suir to the NW. A sketch plan and section of the monument from the 1950s depicts a roughly oval-shaped monument, defined by scarp (OPW files). An upstanding D-shaped monument is visible on an aerial photograph (GSI S.585/4 8.4.1974). According to the current landowner this monument was levelled in the 1980s. On an aerial photograph taken in 1989 it is only visible as a cropmark (GB89.AB.26 16 July 1989). It is barely visible as a cropmark of a roughly circular enclosure (approx. diam. 44m) at ground level. An enclosure (TS046-067----) is located c. 200m to the SW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 05 March 2013
- TS046-067 Enclosure
Description
In low-lying terrain, on the flood plain of the River Suir which is located c. 20m to the NW. In a reclaimed field under pasture. An aerial photograph (GB89.AB.26) shows the cropmark of an incomplete curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse. An enclosure (TS046-045----) is located c. 200m to the NE. This roughly D-shaped enclosure (dims. 30m N-S; 40m E-W) is defined by a natural ridge (H 0.55m; Wth 10m) running NE-SW along the straight NW side and elsewhere by a low wide bank (W quadrant int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.2m; Wth 8m; SE quadrant int. H 0.12m; ext. H 0.55m; Wth at crest 3.2m; overall Wth 14m) which appears to have been levelled. The bank is quite subtle and difficult to see in places. There is a possible entrance (Wth 4m) in the S quadrant. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 05 March 2013
- TS047-082 Enclosure
Description
On flat elevated pasture with good views in all directions. There is a large hollow depression of natural appearance in the corner of the field which might be what is showing up on an aerial photograph as an enclosure (CUCAP AYP 81, 11 July 1969). No surface remains visible elsewhere in the field. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS047-083 Ringfort - rath
Description
On slightly elevated pasture with good views in all directions. The monument consists of a D-shaped area (int. diam. 46m NW-SE; 45m E-W; overall diam. 62m NE-SW) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (base Wth 4m; top Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m), external fosse (top Wth 4.5m; base Wth 3.9m; ext. D 0.5m) and outer bank (top Wth 0.7m; base Wth 1m; ext. H 0.3m) with possible causewayed entrance gap (Wth 5m) at NE. There are modern cattle gaps at NW and SE, the outer bank appears to be a later boundary planted with hawthorns as a way of enclosing the ringfort from the rest of the field. The straight side of the D-shaped enclosure at SW measures 43m long. There is a small quarry (dims. 7m NE-SW x 2m N-S; D 0.5m) in the N quadrant of the interior.

The land has been reclaimed and is incorporated in a gallops, the monument being located in the W corner of the gallops. An aerial photograph (GB90.CI. 14, 16 July 1989) shows the cropmark of part of a possible curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse. Despite the grass being very short at the time of inspcection the monument was not visible above ground. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 05 March 2013
- TS047-125 Enclosure
Description
In tillage. A sub-square enclosure (dims. c. 32m NE-SW and NW-SE) defined by a fosse, visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (2021 Maxar Technologies, viewed May 2021), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère.
