• WM024-155 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on gently sloping ground, overlooking low-lying, rough pasture to S and SW. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a rectangular structure annotated ‘Castle’ and which appears to adjoin a circular-shaped ringwork (WM024-155001-) to SW. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a rectangular ruin on the edge of the inner scarp of an oval-shaped ringwork and annotated ‘Castle (in Ruins)’. Area around castle annotated ‘Sam’s Park’ on OS 25-inch map. Monument described in 1979 as all that remains of the castle are the grass-covered wall footings visible standing inside a ringwork. Wall footings of the castle are visible on the SW bank of the ringwork. There is a low mound against the internal face of the ringwork bank at WSW where a portion of the castle wall footing (approx. H 2m; L 2m) is well preserved. Another low mound with the remains of wall footings are located in the NE area of the ringwork and are assumed to be the ruins of a small building. There is the outline of a subrectangular-shaped structure in the SE quadrant of the ringwork. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 28 August 2019

• WM024-155001 Castle - ringwork
  Description

  Situated on gently sloping ground, overlooking low-lying, rough pasture to S and SW. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork associated with a castle (WM024-155----). This enclosing earthwork or ringwork could be the grass-covered wall footings of a collapsed bawn wall or could be the remains of an earlier enclosure which was refortified when a stone castle was constructed along the W side of the earthwork. Monument described in 1979 as a circular-shaped area enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone. The remains of sod-covered wall footings associated with a stone castle are visible inside the enclosure. Rock outcrop is also visible within the interior. No clear entrance feature visible. The enclosure is surrounded by a complex of earthworks (WM024-155002-). To the S these banks form two trapezoidal-shaped enclosures. It is not clear whether these enclosures are contemporaneous with the ‘Castle’ site or later feature. To the WSW of the ringwork is a small rectangular-shaped house site. The ground between the house site & ringwork is uneven, with rocky outcrops & depressions. A complex of earthworks (WM024-155002-) are visible in the immediate vicinity.

• WM024-155002 Field system
  Description

  Situated on gently sloping ground, overlooking low-lying, rough pasture to S and SW. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a series of field banks and enclosures. Area around castle annotated ‘Sam’s Park’. In the immediate vicinity of a stone castle (WM024-155----) and ringwork (WM024-155001-) are a complex of earthen banks. The banks to S form two trapezoidal-shaped enclosures. It is unclear if these are contemporary with the castle site or later post-1700 field system. A house site (WM024-155003-) is situated within the WSW area of these enclosures. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 28 August 2019

• WM024-155003 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Situated on gently sloping ground, overlooking low-lying, rough pasture to S and SW. To the WSW of castle (WM024-155----) and ringwork (WM024-155001-) is a small, rectangular house site. The ground between the house site and the ringwork is very uneven, with rocky outcrops and depressions. This feature forms part of the earthworks (WM024-155002-) which are in the immediate vicinity of the castle and ringwork. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
