  Description

  Situated on a knoll of outcrop, overlooked by a higher knoll c. 100m to the E, in a small valley. Described in Civil Survey of (1654-6) as 'an old castle and bawne the walls onely standing' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 303). Several landowners are listed as proprietors, including 'Sr Nicholas White of Leaslipp in the County of Killdare Knight Irish Papist[,]Marcus Magragh of Bleane in the Barrony of Upp Ormond Esqr.[,]Daniell Kenedy of Bollycregane Irish Papists' (ibid.). Little survives of this site above ground. It was bulldozed in 1985 to provide stone for the construction of a silage pit. Portion of E wall remains (T c. 0.8m) - the internal face has collapsed and the external face retains a mound of clay and collapsed masonry. The lower section of a doorway remains in situ and the area is strewn with architectural fragments which have punch dressing. There is no visible trace of the bawn (TN014-001002-) above ground.

• TN014-002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated just off the crest of a S-facing slope in pastureland. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. An irregularly-shaped raised area, as indicated on the 1901-05 ed. defined by a bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.33m), largely reduced to a scarp and a shallow outer fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.15m) and counterscarp. The external face of the bank at N has a stone revetment and stone boulders protrude from the external face of the scarp at E. Possible causeway in N sector, however, boulders and stones have been dumped into the fosse here. The site is very overgrown making detailed examination impossible.
