Recorded monuments

• WM003-052 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on low rushy, poorly drained pasture land. Only the N quadrant of this possible trivallate ringfort survives. The monument is transected at S by a post-1700 curving field boundary aligned NE-SE. No surface remains visible of enclosing element to S of this field boundary. A second post-1700 field boundary aligned NW-SE runs across the NE quadrant of the enclosure. Present remains consist of a semi-circular shaped area(approx. int. diam. 49m NE-SW) possibly enclosed by three earth and stone banks with corresponding fosses and causewayed entrance at SW. The inner bank is mainly reduced to a scarp with a wide U-shaped fosse, and second wide low bank enclosed by a narrow steep shallow fosse with slight remains of a third earthen bank. The interior of the ringfort is now cut by field drains. Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 January 2017

• WM003-053 Windmill
  Description

  Described in the 1970s as following ‘The remains of a circular stone built windmill (int. diam. 4.5m; wall T 0.7m; H c. 5m) ivy covered on top. Large gap on NE (door ope) with opposite doorway on SW. Another doorway (H 2m; W 1.1m) nearly blocked up on NW and on SE. Window gaps on W and S. Joist holes inside. There is a slight tapering to walls both in the thickness and in the outside elevation. No earthwork surrounding it. Built on stone plinth. Sited on top of ridge with excellent view to NNE. A second site report described the structure as a ruined windmill of circular plan with four doorway openings, two of which are now blocked up. In 1980 it was recorded that this windmill had ‘been levelled and no trace of it can now be seen. The site appears to be occupied by a relatively modern farm building built of stone and some brick with a galvanised roof. The site is on the summit of a long high natural ridge with extensive views (SMR File 04/03/1980). Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 23 July 2015
