Nature and heritage
Designated sites and recorded monuments
Designated sites
- Special Area of Conservation: Lower River Shannon SAC 002165
- Proposed Natural Heritage Area: Knockanavar Wood 000961
Recorded monuments
- TS044-005 Cairn - unclassified
Description
On top of a poorly drained mountain with good views in all directions. A small modern cairn (H 0.5m; diam. 2m) has been built to support a trigonometrical station on top of an earlier cairn (diam. 8m E-W), the outline of which is still visible. The modern cairn may have reused stones from the earlier cairn. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS044-006 Moated site
Description
On a poorly drained S-facing slope, on the foothills of Gortnageragh Mountain with good extensive views of Cahernahallia river valley from W through S to E. An impressive possible moated site consisting of a sub-rectangular area (dims. 30m N-S; 37m E-W) enclosed by a wide flat-topped bank (top Wth 2.3m; base Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.5-1m; ext. H 1.5m) and waterlogged external fosse (Wth 3.2m; ext.D 1m). The external bank, only visible along the W side, may be the remains of a modern field boundary rather than part of the moated site defences. The bank and fosse have a very fresh appearance which can be a characteristic of landscape features, particularly tree-rings. It is located c. 150m W of Glengar House and may have been constructed or re-cut as a landscape feature for this house. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS044-009 Enclosure
Description
On a poorly drained S-facing slope, on the foothills of Gortnageragh Mountain with good views of Cahernahallia river valley from E-S-W. An oval enclosure (dims. c. 19m NE-SW; c. 15m NW-SE) visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 20 January 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. It is located c. 130m S of Glengar House. On the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map there are a number of landscape features associated with the house, including tree-rings in the grounds. One of these is indicated one on or close to the location of this enclosure, and there is a possibility that this enclosure was constructed as a tree-ring. A moated site (TS004-006----) is located 230m to the NW. See attached: TS044-009----_01 Google Earth image (imagery date 20 January 2020) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 2 February 2022
