Recorded monuments

• WM013-003 Barrow - mound barrow
  Description

  Monument surveyed in 2015 and described by McGuinness (2015, 45) as following: ‘Low, roughly circular domed mound (Diam. 14.4m N-S x 16.4m E-W), rising up to 1.16m where highest on N side. Mound is heavily eroded and appears to have been extensively dug into by treasure-hunters in the past, as with the nearby site No. 11, displacing much mound material and exposing some possible cairn stones at the centre. Standing on top of the mound is a c. 2m-high iron cross with the letters AMDG on its base, erected c. mid 20th century by Fr Walsh in thanksgiving for delivery of local livestock from Black Leg. Monument is very prominently located on the highest point of a ridge or spur running ESE-WNW, forming N side of the Drumhurlin River valley, which levels out to E before rising up to another peak, but drops down quite steeply to W where there is another mound-barrow (WM013-112----) lower down 200m to W, beyond which the land falls again to W. The ridge drops very steeply a short distance to N and S of the present barrow; there is what appears to be a small-scale linear quarry on S side, on upper slope of ridge. Visibility is superb except to E, with a mound- or bowl-barrow (WM013-016----) visible 1.5km to SW on S side of the Drumhurlin River Valley; a second, unclassified-barrow (WM013-020----) across the valley 1.2km to S would be visible but for trees'.

• WM013-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on steep SE facing slope of a high ridge running WNW-ESE, with good views from SSE-W. Ringfort (WM013-005---) 360m to E. An unusually large oval shaped area (approx. diam. 46m NE-SW) enclosed by two earth and stone banks and a shallow external fosse. The internal bank is substantial and is best preserved at N (max. H 2m). The fosse and outer bank are best preserved at S and W. The perimeter of the site has been quarried away in the SW quadrant. There is an entrance gap (Wth. 2m) in the inner bank at SE. The interior slopes steeply from NE-SW. Outline of rectangular house site (WM013-004001-) visible in E quadrant. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.

• WM013-004001 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Situated on steep SE facing slope of a high ridge running WNW-ESE, with good views from SSE-W. Ringfort (WM013-005---) 360m to E. Grass-covered wall footings of a rectangular house site (approx. dims. 4.4m N-S x 4.2m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (H 0.2m; Wth 2.2m), with an entrance gap (Wth 1.3m) at S, visible in E quadrant of ringfort (WM013-004---).

• WM013-005 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated within a coniferous plantation on a small prominent hillock surrounded by undulating grassland. Ringfort (WM013-004---) 360m to W, ringfort (WM013-006----) 260m to E. A sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 26m NE-SW) enclosed by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank with entrance gap at SW. The surface of the interior rises sharply towards the centre especially at N. The profile of the monument indicates the possible presence of an internal fosse and a mound (diam. 18m NE-SW) like interior which may suggest that this may be the remains of large barrow rather than that of a ringfort.

• WM013-112 Barrow - mound barrow
  Description

  Monument surveyed in 2015 and described by McGuinness (2015, 46) as following: ‘This severely damaged barrow, comprising a low, domed mound (Diam. 11.2m NS x 11m EW) with somewhat poorly defined edge, rising up to 0.61m in height at E side; a large, irregular-shaped central hollow (1.6m x 1.2m x 0.20m deep) is presumably the result of treasure-hunting, as with WM013-003---- close by to E. Site lies c. 200m to W of a second mound-barrow (WM013-003----), on the western tip of a lower step of the same E-W ridge or spur on which WM013-003---- lies, this time at the western tip of the upper step of the spur. Land slopes down in a westerly direction from upper spur to lower, and then again to W of lower spur, so that land is higher to E of barrow than to W. As with WM013-003----, visibility across the valley to the other barrows (WM013-016----; WM013-020----) is excellent, although WM013-020---- is currently disguised by trees. UNCLASSIFIED EARTHWORK: At a distance of 8.9m to W of the barrow, on ground sloping down to W, is an elongated, slightly oval mound or bank (L. 5.4m; W. 1.9m) with what appears to be a shallow ditch surrounding it, most noticeable on N side. It is aligned NWW-ESE, roughly in the direction of the mound-barrow (WM013-003----) on upper step of the spur. There appear to be further earthworks to N but the nature and age of these is unclear’.
