• WM011-080 Souterrain
  Description

  Situated on a low rise of ground in grassland, in field annotated as 'Mullagharolla' on 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and annotated as a ‘Cave’. The Ordnance Survey Field Name Books (No. 31, 6) of 1837 recorded that 'there are 2 caves (WM011-151----) in this td. but they are in no way remarkable. No surface remains visible of any 'cave' or any possible souterrain in area marked on OS 6-inch map. Probably the remains of a natural cave rather than a souterrain.

• WM011-081 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on the top of a prominent small hillock, surrounded by gently undulating grassland with extensive views from N-E-S. The site is located in a field annotated as 'Shankill' on the 1837 ed. OS -inch map. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a circular-shaped enclosure annotated as ‘Track of fort’, and depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. This site has been levelled and is only visible as a cropmark. An oval-shaped area (approx. diam. 20.5m N-S; 16.4m E-W) enclosed by a band of green grass is all that is visible. The interior has several slight humps and hollows and vague suggestions of NE-SW cultivation ridges. According to local information there was a stone covering a ‘cavity’ in the N quadrant of the ringfort and that there was a local belief that this land was owned by monks at one time (pers. comm. 18/10/1972). The 'cavity' possibly represents the existence of a possible souterrain (WM011-081001-) inside the levelled ringfort. Modern farm buildings have been built on the NNE quadrant of the levelled ringfort as shown on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.

• WM011-082 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Situated on a low rise in grassland. Local information contained in an ASI field report from 1972 recorded that ‘old foundations’ and a quern or mill stone were unearthed while bulldozing in this field. No trace of an archaeological monument visible at ground level. The crop mark of a large sub-rectangular shaped enclosure is visible on the Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.

• WM011-151 Souterrain
  Description

  The OS Fair Plan map of 1837 has a 'cave' marked on this map to the S of the road running from Ballyncarrigy to Mullingar in a field annotated as 'Parkatilling' on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map (SMR file). This 'cave' may have been the site of a souterrain. The site of this possible souterrain was described in 1983 as 'No visible remains. A house has been built very close to the site' (SMR file 1983). The Ordnance Survey Field Name Books (No. 31, 6) of 1837 recorded that 'there are 2 caves (WM011-080----) in this td. but they are in no way remarkable'. Probably the remains of a natural cave rather than a souterrain. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 October 2010
