- WM020-039 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on top of a low rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped enclosure (approx. overall dims. 42m N-S; 47m E-W). Ringfort (WM020-040----) lies c. 90m to E. Monument described in 1970-72 as a roughly circular-shaped area enclosed by an earthen bank, fosse and traces of a low outer bank, causewayed entrance at SSW and a number of small disturbance gaps elsewhere. The inner bank is high and steep and almost reduced to a scarp. The wide fosse is best preserved from SSW-W-NNW and from E-SSE. Elsewhere the fosse is shallow or disturbed by digging, particularly at E, where it has been quarried. The low outer bank only survives at NE and from E-SE-SSE. Modern field fences contact the bank at NNW and NE. Three house sites (WM020-039001-/002-/003-) are located within the interior. Monument is visible as an oval-shaped earthwork containing three house sites on Digital Globe aerial photography. See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.

- WM020-062 Crannog
Description
Situated on the NW shore of White Lough, c. 500m to S of the original edge of the lake-shore. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a long triangular-shaped island within the lough and depicted as a rounded projection of the shoreline on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. The surface of the water is recorded as 96m/316ft OD in 1837 and had dropped to 95m/313ft) by 1913 rendering the monument landlocked from W-N-ENE. According to Adams (1960, 32) finds from this crannóg include part of a large canoe made from a single oak, a bronze pin and a crucible. Numerous other finds are said to have been deposited in the RIA museum. Monument described in 1981 as an oval-shaped mound (dims. 44m NE-SW; 36m N-S) which is raised (H 1.4m) above the height of the present lough level. Up to 70 stakes and piles are visible on the E side of the mound, which roughly form two concentric rings with a few interstadial ‘slots’. There are some radially-split and a some half-cut planks, with one having a small peg with wood-working detail preserved. There are numerous fragments of bone, but no finds of any significance. The centre is badly disturbed, and was ‘ploughed out’ to find the ‘Dane’s Treasure’ in the early [20th] century. Monument is visible today as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Described by O'Sullivan (2004, 118-9) as 'Located 200m from original northwest shore of White Lough (on barony boundary), a small lake within a drained former wetland system that includes Black Lough and the raised bogs around. This crannóg was a low, oval mound (dims. 36m N-S x 44m NE-SW; H 2.4m, 1.4m from water level) of timber and earth in marshy ground at White Lough. The interior of the site was badly disturbed in the 19th century by both locals and antiquarians searching for ‘Danes treasure’. The crannóg is an oval mound. It was enclosed within two concentric rings of vertical posts, with 68 stakes and 8 split planks visible on the southeast, south and southwest sides, with a few horizontal beams lying between these vertical posts. There was also a stake palisade parallel to the mound on the south side. There were numerous fragments of animal bone, but no other finds. In the 19th century, the ashes from a possible hearth were found at the centre of the mound. A portion of a large dugout canoe together with a bronze pin and a crucible and a stone axe was also found'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Aidan O'Sullivan.

- WM020-077 Pit-burial
Description
Situated in gently undulating pasture. Not depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map or the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. A pit-burial was discovered during ploughing in 1964 (Vandeleur 1965, 256-257). The plough lifted a large stone which had concealed the feature. The burial consisted of cremated bone mixed with charcoal in an oval pit of probable prehistoric date. The NMI indicated that the remains were typical of a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age cremation burial (NMI Reg. No. 1964:47). According to Lucas (1967, 11), a second similar burial was found in close proximity in 1966. Little is known of this burial as it appears to have been heavily disturbed during the process of being discovered. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

- WM020-137 Cist
Description
The National Museum of Ireland recorded that in ‘January 1980 a short cist containing an inhumation and a vase was discovered during bulldozing on a farm near Killucan, Co. Westmeath. The site was reported to the NMI by Ms Joan Vandeleur, Wardenstown, Co. Westmeath. A rescue excavation was carried out by Mary ill, assisted by Kieran Campbell, and the human remains were examined by Professor C.A. kine. Two other burials had previously been found in this townland, in the adjacent field. The cist was just 500m north of an early Bronze Age pit burial excavated by Etienne Rynne in 1964 (Vandeleur 1963-6). A third burial in the form of a pit is reported to have been found in the vicinity the latter, but was destroyed upon discovery (Waddell 1990, 149). The cist, which lay approximately 0.3m below ground level, was trapezoidal in plan, with long axis aligned north/south. It measured 0.95m long by 0.55m wide by 0.48m high. The chamber was constructed of four main slabs set on edge, each one forming a c wall. These slabs were large in proportion, the maximum thickness being 0.3m. The end slab inclined inwards slightly and, in some cases (at the north-eastern and south-western come: a number of small flat slabs had been laid flat over the sides to ensure that the capstone would be level. A number of packing stones were also visible around the outside of the cist. The floor of the cist was not paved but was formed of earth with a few small stone inclusions. A la rectangular capstone measuring 0.9m long by 0 82m wide by 0.3m thick sealed the cist. The cist contained a crouched inhumation of a young adult male (1980:43-) accompanied by a vase of anomalous type (Ó Ríordáin and Waddell 1993, 141) and a mussel shell (1980:134). The skeleton lay with the head to the south, facing east. The legs were tightly flexed and the rig arm also, but the left arm bones were not visible. The burial fitted tightly into the cist, with t feet apparently placed flat against the northern end stone. The vessel had been placed immediately east of the skull, and the shell was found between the skull and the vessel' (Cahill and Sikora 2011, vol. 1, 503-04).
