• WM017-067 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  In 1972 it was recorded that 'according to local information there are remains of an old 'cobbled' road near the present road which was built after the famine. The older road is said to have been built by Cromwell' (SMR file 1972). In 1984 the site was visited and it was recorded that 'there are no traces of the cobbled road surviving today but the track of the old road can still be traced' (SMR file 1984). The extent of this possible old roadway can seen where it is partially indicated on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map. Traces of a linear bank representing the remains of this old roadway are visible today running parallel to a field boundary on Digital Globe aerial photographs.

• WM017-072 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the summit of a broad hill, in undulating pasture with good views in all directions. Depicted on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as an oval-shaped enclosure truncated by a trackway and a field boundary at N and E, respectively. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as roughly rectangular-shaped enclosure, indicating that the shape of the enclosure may have been modified between the two editions of the map. Described in 1980 as a roughly rectangular-shaped area (34.5m E-W; 32.5m N-S) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone, with no entrance feature or external fosse visible. The bank is best preserved from NE-S where it has a curvilinear form. It is less substantial where it is linear in form along the W half of the S-side, the W and N sides. There are the remains of internal stone facing at S and SSW. There are a number of disturbance gaps. The interior has an ENE-facing slope and has old cultivation ridges running ENE-WSW. Similar cultivation ridges running NNE-SSW can be seen in the vicinity of the monument to N. An old roadway runs NW-SE outside the bank at NE and a field bank runs N-S, just outside the bank to E. A preservation order was placed on this monument on the 24/04/1987 (SMR File). Monument visible today as a roughly rectangular-shaped earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
