Recorded monuments
- WA017-012001 Bastioned fort
Description
Depicted as a rectangular embanked enclosure with four lozenge-shaped corner bastions on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is situated on a rise planted with a cereal crop overlooking a S-N stream to the W and N. The fort is thought to date to the Elizabethan (Poole 1928) or Cromwellian period (Carroll 1976a, b), although there are no contemporary records. J. O'Donovan in the 1840s (O'Flanagan 1929, 61) records that it was used as a barracks in 1798, a view which is supported by artefacts recovered at the site (Poole 1928). This is a rectangular platform (dims. 62m N-S; 51m E-W) defined by low scarps (H 0.5m) except at N where there is a natural slope down to a stream (H c. 3m). Bastions are evident at the SE and SW corners as eroded mounds (diam. 25m; H 0.2-1.6m). (Kerrigan 1995, 102-3) Carroll, J. S. (1976a) Cromwell's camp at Kilbarry? Decies No. 1, 12-13. Carroll, J. S.
