• WM026-052001 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Situated on a small promontory, on the eastern shores of Lough Ennell. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a small rectangular-shaped building on Inchacrone, which at that time was a small, oblong island c. 180m to W of the shoreline. According to O’Donovan (1837, OSNB 6, 11), ‘this island lies opposite the townland of Carrick to which it belongs. It is planted with trees and the ruins of a house or castle are scattered about on its surface’. Monument described in 1981 as no surface remains visible. This area was once an island in Lough Ennell prior to the River Brosna drainage scheme after which the water level dropped and the area became a promontory on the mainland. This area is now occupied by dwellings, has been landscaped, planted with trees, and a public road constructed. There is no trace of any earlier buildings or ruinous foundations. Area is visible on Digital Globe aerial photography as a small promontory primarily covered in woodland and occupied by three buildings and a road.

• WM026-079 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on top of a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped enclosure, annotated 'Rahaclowine'. Monument described in 1971 as a small circular-shaped area (dims. 27.2m N-S; 25.3m E-W) enclosed by a bank and external fosse. The earth and stone bank is twice as high on the exterior than on the interior and is almost reduced to a scarp in places. It has slight remains of external stone facing at SW and there are several slight cattle gaps. There is a narrow, shallow fosse visible from SSE-S-W-N-NNE, which is almost completely infilled from NNE-E-SSE. There is a very large stone laid against the bank exterior at SE. The entrance is not recognisable. The interior has a slight SSE-facing slope and is tree-planted. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 04 November 2019

• WM026-080 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a small rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. Monument described in 1971 as a much disturbed oval-shaped area (28.5m NE-SW; approx. 18m NW-SE) enclosed by a bank with external fosse. The bank is steep on the exterior and is almost reduced to a scarp. An ESB pole stands in the bank at ENE. There are faint traces of a wide external fosse. The perimeter has been quarried from NW-N and from E-S-SSW. A gap (Wth at top 3.2m; basal Wth 1.6m) in the bank at NNE may represent the entrance. There is no visible trace of a causeway but the fosse is barely traceable at this point. The interior has a slight E-facing slope with no visible features of significance.

• WM026-081 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a small rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. Ringfort (WM026-085----) lies c. 45m to S. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a broad oval-shaped earthwork. Bivallate monument described in 1971 as a large subcircular-shaped area (dims. 46m E-W; 44.50m N-S) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The inner earth and stone bank is substantial and is best preserved at ESE and from SE-S-W, being almost reduced to a scarp and fragmentary elsewhere. A wide, steep, flat-bottomed fosse is visible from S-W-N-E-SE and is almost completely infilled from SE-S. The outer earth and stone bank is visible from S-W-N-E-SE only. There are several slight disturbance gaps in the top of the inner bank and a wide disturbance gap in the both banks at WNW. A gap (Wth at top .2m; basal Wth 1.3m) in the inner bank at SE is defined by a stone set on edge on the NE side and represents the most likely entrance. The surface of the interior is uneven and rises slightly from the perimeter towards the centre. Four house sites (WM026-081001-/-081002-/-081003-/081004-) are in the WNW, NW, NE and S quadrants respectively. See attached plan of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.

• WM026-081002 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In the NW quadrant of ringfort (WM026-081----) are three sides of a house site defined by a slight earth and stone bank. To the immediate E is a roughly circular-shaped shallow depression of unknown significance. See attached sketch plan of monument drawn by the ASI .

• WM026-081003 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In the NE quadrant of ringfort (WM026-081----) and conjoined to the inner bank of the ringfort at ENE is a small subrectangular-shaped house site defined by a slight earthen bank. A gap in the SW side represents a doorway which is defined on the SE side by a large stone. See attached sketch plan of monument drawn by the ASI.

• WM026-081004 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  In the S quadrant of ringfort (WM026-081----), just inside the entrance at SW is an irregular-shaped house site. It is defined by a prominent L-shaped earthen bank, whereby the shorter portion adjoins the inside of the ringfort bank and the open end is adjacent to the ringfort entrance. Adjoining the opposite end of the L-shape is a slight curvilinear-shaped earthen bank which also faces open toward the ringfort entrance. See attached sketch plan of monument drawn by the ASI.

• WM026-082 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a small rise, in gently undulating pasture, with extensive views to N, E and W. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1971 as a circular-shaped area (diam. 36m) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The inner bank is steep on the exterior and is almost reduced to a scarp. It is slightly defaced on the exterior in several places and disturbed by badger burrows in places. There is a wide, deep, flat-bottomed intervening fosse. There is a low, broad outer bank which is very slight from NNW-N-NE. A gap (Wth at top 5m; basal Wth 2.6m) in the inner bank and a causeway (Wth at top 1.9m; overall Wth 4.3m) at NNE presumably represents the entrance. A large stone in the ENE quadrant appears to be naturally occurring whilst there is much disturbance by quarrying in the NW quadrant. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.

• WM026-083 Church
  Description

  Situated in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a rectangular-shaped tower annotated ‘Church (in Ruins)’ standing in N quadrant of graveyard (WM026-083001-). Carrick Church ruins described in 1976 as the remains of a rectangular-shaped structure (L 8m; Wth 7m) defined by upstanding walls (T 0.85m) at S, W and N, only the wall footings of the E wall of the church survives. Possible ivy-covered residential tower or bell-tower at W end of single cell rectangular-shaped church. The walls have an internal and external buttress at the W end. A doorway with a crude pointed arch is visible in the S wall at the W end. There are no openings visible in the W gable. The N wall contains a small lintelled window and the S wall has a similar but cruder ope with an intact embrasure. There is a narrow internal division at the NW corner which may be an original feature, perhaps a vault. The burials are mounded up to a considerable height around the remains of the church. There are no early slabs within the interior. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 04 November 2019

• WM026-083001 Graveyard
  Description

  Carrick graveyard situated in gently undulating pasture. Sub-triangular-shaped area (approx. dims. 50m N-S x 56m E-W) with Carrick church ruins (WM026-083----) standing in N quadrant, enclosed by post-1700 stone wall. Burial place of Fr. Timothy Shanley who died in 1835 located to E of church ruins now frequented by visitors who have left votive offerings over the grave. According to local information Fr. Thady Shanley, parish priest of Milltown and Meedin, was the last hunted priest in County Westmeath. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 04 November 2019

• WM026-084 Field system
  Description

  Situated in gently undulating pasture in the field to S and W of Carrick church (WM026-083----) and graveyard (WM026-083001-). Not depicted on the 1837 OS 6-inch map or on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Monument described in 1984 as a system of banks and several enclosed areas defined by earth and stone banks. A rectangular-shaped area (dims. 58m E-W; 38m N-S) is visible immediately S of the graveyard and is partially within the present boundary. The bank (approx. max. H 2m) is best preserved on the E side. Adjoining to W is a second rectangular-shaped area (dims. 36m E-W; 15m N-S). Adjoining to E of the first enclosed area is a third long, narrow rectangular-shaped area (dims. 50m N-S; 14m E-W) defined by earth and stone banks. It narrows towards S, but is otherwise undefined at this end. The E side of this enclosed area is part of a continuous bank running N-S which extends the length of the field and continuing under the modern wall defining the public road to ESE. To SE of the first enclosed area is a fourth rectangular-shaped area (dims. 33m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank. There are no fosses or internal structural remains perhaps suggesting that this field system is 17th or 18th century in date. The remaining portions of the field at the N and S ends have no readily apparent features. The S end is quite uneven and may preserve the remains of other features which are unidentifiable at present. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

• WM026-085 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a small rise, in gently undulating pasture, with extensive views to W and NW. Ringfort (WM026-081----) lies c. 45m to N. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a broad oval-shaped earthwork. Bivallate monument described in 1971 as an oval-shaped area (dims. 46m E-W; 41.3m N-S) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The substantial inner bank is steep on the exterior and is best preserved from N-NE and from SW-W-NW, being almost reduced to a scarp elsewhere. Where the inner bank is well preserved there are several slight disturbance gaps in its crest and a large portion of it has been removed from S-SW and at NNW. A wide, steep intervening fosse is visible from ESE-S-W-NNE. The slight outer bank is visible from ESE-SE-S and at NNW. There is a probable entrance at S where the E side of the gap is preserved in the inner bank (where it is defined by a large stone) and a slight causeway (Wth at top 2m; basal Wth 5.2m; approx. H 0.3m) extends across the fosse. The interior has a gentle ESE-facing slope. Two small humps inside the inner bank at SW appear to be natural features. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 04 November 2019

• WM026-111 Water mill - unclassified
  Description

  The precise location of a watermill mentioned in a seventeenth century land grant to Robert Dillon of Cannorstown has not been identified. In 1612 Robert Dillon was granted a watermill in the townland of Carrick which contained '12 houses, a castle (WM026-052002-), a water-mill, and 1 plowland' (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 228). In 1621 Robert Dillon of Cannorstown surrendered to the Crown lands including 2 watermills in Carrick (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 513). In the same year the castle and lands of Carrick including '2 water mills' were granted to Sir William Parsons (ibid.). The corn mill marked as 'Carrick Mill' on the current ed. OS 6-inch map may have been built on site of the medieval mill of Carrick. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 24 July 2015
