Recorded monuments

• WM038-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low hill, in pasture, with wide views of the surrounding landscape. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped enclosure. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly oval-shaped enclosure bisected by a townland boundary running N-S, the E half of the monument being completely levelled in the townland of Ardan. The W half of the earthwork in the townland of Grange and Kiltober survives as a roughly D-shaped area (dims. 32m N-S) enclosed by a low earthen bank with an external fosse. This bank and fosse are visible from S-W-NNW. The fosse has been partly infilled with debris and stones. The surviving W half of the monument is obscured by scrub today on Digital Globe aerial photography and there is no trace of the E half. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

• WM038-031 Barrow - mound barrow
  Description

  Surveyed in 2013 and described by McGuinness (2014, 29) as following: 'Low circular mound (Diam. 3.10m N-S x 3.10m E-W) with well-defined edge and slightly domed to flattish upper surface, rising up to 0.30m above ground level on N side. Limestone boulders protrude from upper surface of mound, suggesting that there may be cairn, perhaps a cist, beneath the sod; a boulder protruding from NW edge of mound, apparently on edge, could be a kerbstone. Monument is sited in pasture on summit of hill with panoramic views: the Slieve Blooms dominate view to S; Knockastia, capped by a multiple-cist cairn (WM031-015----), and Croghan Hill in Offaly, with a tumulus (OF010-004001-) on its summit, are prominent to NW and E respectively; also visible c. 800m to W is Bonfire Hill (Fitzpatrick 2005, 273)'.
