Recorded monuments

• TS082-064 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On gradual NE-facing slope, just off crest, in undulating terrain, under pasture. Small roughly circular ringfort (diam. 26.7m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by a round-topped bank (Wth 3.3m crest, 5.1m base; int. H 0.73m; ext. H 1.65m) with a high stone content; flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.1m; D 1.52m) and outer bank (Wth 3.55; ext. H 0.5m). The banks are very overgrown with scrub, brambles and nettles. The vegetation is encoaching on the interior which is grass covered. An internal stone revetment is clearly visible on the bank in the N and SE quadrants. The monument is enclosed in the NE and SW quadrants by field boundaries running NW-SE. In the NE quadrant the outer face of the bank has been quarried into destroying the fosse and outer bank. The fosse is wider in the SE quadrant due to cattle erosion and the bank is quite denuded at S. There is an entrance in the E quadrant (Wth 1.4m), the ground 2m E of this has been quarried out.

• TS082-065 Enclosure
  Description

  On top of the NE edge of a NW-SE ridge, in undulating terrain, under pasture. Monument depicted on the 1st (1840) and 1904-05 ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 38m N-S; c. 39m E-W), the E-S-SW portion of which is enclosed by a bank which also acts as a townland boundary, running NE-SW. In 1957 the site was inspected for inclusion in Land Project works and was deemed to be a 'small field or garden' (OPW files, 24th April 1957). The site was subsequently levelled. Only the NW quadrant survives as a curving earthen field boundary with a high stone content (Wth 1.4m crest, 2m base; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.9m) and slight trace of an external fosse (Wth 1.7m; D 0.3m). A farm house located c. 40m to the NE has been largely demolished. The depiction on the enclosure on the OS 6-inch maps and the fact that the townland boundary kinks out to respect it, would suggest that is was a ringfort which was probably later used as a small field. On the 1840 6-inch OS map a lime kiln is depicted c. 14m NNW of the monument. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 10 February 2014
