- WM031-103 Burial
Description
Situated on the NW side of the R391 regional route between Horseleap and Dysart. Discovered 6th May 1985 in a trench which had been dug to divert a small stream during road widening operations. Not depicted on OS mapping. Burial inspected by the ASI in 1985 and described as only a few small in-situ fragments. Most of the burial had been disturbed during the excavation of the temporary channel. The skull, jawbone, fragments of arm, ribs etc. had been collected by workmen and given to the ASI at the time of inspection. The burial was located in a gravelly subsoil about 0.4m below the present ground-level, with no indication of a pit, mound or any other archaeological feature associated with it. No artefacts were found. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 22 November 2019

- WM031-041 Castle - unclassified
Description
Situated on S-facing slope of a hill, in pasture, with wide views to E, S and W, overlooked by gently rising ground to N. Not depicted on any ed. OS maps. Levelled monument described in 1980 as no surface remains visible of 'Creeve Castle'. Levelled castle site is referred to locally as the Castle of Creeve, which is understood to have been a seat of the Dillons. According to local information, the last remains of the castle were completely demolished about 20-30 years ago and the stones were used to make a laneway. The site of the castle is on an irregular-shaped platform which is defined by a scarp to E and S. The top of the platform is quite uneven as is the surrounding ground, although no stone is visible. Several field fences in the vicinity have also been removed. Levelled possible castle site is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography. Possible duplicate site with Creeve Castle (WM031-036----). Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 13 November 2019
- WM031-042 Enclosure
Description
Situated on a slightly elevated area overlooking low-lying wet pasture to S, N and E. Depicted on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped enclosure. Shown on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped field (0.471 acres). Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped platform (diam. 40m) defined by a slight scarp to W, N and E. The platform is level with the ground to S. The surrounding field boundaries have been removed. Monument is partially obscured today by scrub which is visible on Digital Globe aerial photography.
