Recorded monuments

• TS043-018001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In flat pasture with good views in all directions with a rectangular enclosure (TS043-018002-) in the field immediately to the N. The ruins of a nearby farmhouse are in corner of field to the E. This building is not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps but may pre-date the 1st (1840) ed. as the outline of the field boundary which respects this building is indicated on this edition. A series of low earthworks and quarry holes between the ringfort and the ruinous building appear to be associated with the latter. This impressive bivallate ringfort consists of a raised circular area (int. diam. N-S 54.4m; E-W 52.5m; overall diam. N-S 96m; E-W 95m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (top Wth. 2.3m; base Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.7m), wide flat-bottomed fosse (base Wth 8m-1 10m; top Wth 10m-16m; ext. D 0.5m) and outer bank (base Wth 6m; top Wth 2.6m; ext. H 0.4m) with possible entrance gap (Wth 2m) at E. A field bank runs across the centre of the ringfort from the entrance gap at the E and runs westwards towards a low circular mound or platform (diam. 6m) which may be the remains of a small hut site. This field boundary may be associated with the nearby building to E of the ringfort. The outer bank has been levelled from N to E but elsewhere it is well preserved, with the fosse is at its widest (c. 11m) at N. At WNW the external face of the outer bank has been quarried into, with possible evidence of quarrying of fosse from W to WNW. A gap in the outer bank (Wth 10m) at SW appears to be the result of modern disturbance. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS043-018002 Enclosure
  Description

  On flat pasture with good views in all directions with nearby ringfort (TS043-018001-) in the field to S. A rectangular area (dims. N-S 37m; E-W 18m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.3m) and outer fosse (Wth 3m; ext. D 0.2m) which is only visible at W. The bank and fosse on the E side appears to be incorporated in the field boundary which runs N-S along the edge of the enclosure. Only the W half of the enclosure is visible as the E half is covered underneath furze bushes and overgrowth. Gate piers in SE corner of field may be associated with a nearby farmhouse located in the same field NW of the enclosure. The enclosure, which is clearly visible on an aerial photograph (CUCAP 1966, APD. 61; CUCAP 1968, AVS 45), may be associated with this farmhouse.

• TS043-019001 Field system
  Description

  On flat reclaimed pasture with good views in all directions with nearby Munster river to SE. Though originally marshy, the land has been drained and reclaimed. Aerial photographs (CUCAP APD 62, 63, 64) taken in 1966 show cropmarks of two parallel linear ditches which are visible to the W of a cluster of ditch barrows (TS043-019002-) and two single ditches to S and E of the barrow group. None of the features indicated on the aerial photographs are visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS043-019002 Barrow - ditch barrow
  Description

  On flat reclaimed pasture with good views in all directions with nearby Munster river to SE. Though originally marshy, the land has been drained and reclaimed. Aerial photographs (CUCAP APD 62, 63, 64) taken in 1966 reveal at least ten ring-ditches (TS043-019002- to TS043-019010-), in a roughly linear arrangement, which show up as circular cropmarks of varying sizes. It is likely that these are a barrow group, and while they may be levelled ring-barrows, without evidence of an outer bank they have been classified as ditch-barrows. This ditch barrow is located at the NW end of the alignment. One ditch barrow (TS043-019003-), at the NE end of the group, is larger than the others. Cropmarks, indicative of a field system (TS043-019001-), consisting of two parallel linear ditches are visible to the W of the barrow group, with two single ditches to S and E. None of the features indicated on the aerial photographs are visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 26 March 2015
