Recorded monuments

• TS058-031 Fulacht fia
  Description

  On level ground at the base of a slight N-facing slope, 10m to the S of an E-W flowing stream, in gently undulating wet pasture. Crescent-shaped mound (dims. 14m ENE-WSW; 5.5m NNW-ESE; H 0.7m) of earth and stone with the opening (Wth 12m) facing SSE. No trace of a trough is visible. A small spread of what appears to be heat shattered sandstone is visible on the summit of the mound. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-032 Moated site
  Description

  Near the top of a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Rectangular area (dims. 36m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by a substantial flat-topped earthen bank (overall Wth 4.4-4.8m; Wth at top 1.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.3-1.8 m) with a wide flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth at base 4m; overall Wth 4.7-5.1m; D 0.7-1.1m). The bank has been increased in height (int. H 1.5m) and the fosse infilled NE-SE where a N-S orientated lane that abuts the E side of the moated site. The outer edge of the fosse has been incorporated into a modern N-S orientated field boundary. A spring well is located centrally in the base of the fosse at the SW corner. The well (dims. 0.6m by 0.6m; D 0.4m) is roughly rectangular and lined on the W, S and E sides by drystone walls of rubble sandstone. An irregular muddy outflow channel extends N along the base of the fosse. A break (Wth 5m) in the bank at the W end of the N side marks the position of the original entrance. A modern stone causeway (Wth 5m) extends E-W from the entrance across the fosse at the NW. The interior slopes slightly facing N, is dry and clear of overgrowth. A slightly raised roughly ovoid area (dims. 12m N-S; 10m E-W) located on the SW side of the interior and ringed with mature ash trees is of uncertain significance.

• TS058-033 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On top of a locally prominent gently sloping hillock, in gently undulating pasture. Shown as a hachured circular area on the 1843 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as the presently surviving semi-circular area on the 1906 edition. Semi-circular slightly raised area (dims. 37m NNE-SSW; 18m WNW-ESE) defined by a steeply sloping scarp of earth and stone (Wth 1.75m; H 1m) with a possible external fosse (overall Wth 2m) SSW-NNE. The outer line of the possible fosse is now shown by a large modern field bank that lies 2m outside the external base of the scarped edge SW-N. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior slopes slightly facing SE and is clear of overgrowth. A natural rock outcrop, known locally as a mass-rock (TS058-033001-), is located in the SW quadrant of the interior.

• TS058-033001 Mass-rock
  Description

  On top of a gently sloping hillock, in the SW quadrant of a ringfort (TS058-033----), in gently undulating pasture. According to local tradition, this was the location of a mass-rock. The mass-rock consists of a natural flat-topped outcrop (dims. 3.8m NW-SE; 1.8m NE-SW; H 0.8m) that appears to be of heavily eroded limestone. The surface is uneven and partially covered with moss and grass. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
