• WM002-019 Castle - motte
  Description

  Situated on a low E-W ridge in good pasture overlooking moated site (WM002-020----) 110m to the S. An old roadway running E-W runs past the base of the motte on the N side the outline of which is depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map and which is visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs taken November 2011. A building marked as 'Coolnagun Castle' on the 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map stands 250m to NW. Although designated a motte, this monument could possibly be a platform-type ringfort later re-used as a motte. A fairly high steep-sided flat-topped mound (top diam. c. 13m) defined by a scarp the base of which is enclosed by a fosse with the remains of an external earthen bank which is best preserved from W-N. The outer bank is badly defaced from S-W where it is intersected by a modern field fence, the fosse has been filled inform S-SW. There is a modern gap in the NW sector and traces of a causeway, also modern, across the fosse at S. The top of the mound is very uneven due to disturbance and slip. There is an OS trig. station on the summit of the motte. A wide low bank runs in an E direction from near the S side of the earthwork. The significance of this bank is not obvious. Outside the monument on the N side there are very slight traces of an old field bank running in an E-W direction. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.

• WM002-020 Moated site
  Description

  Situated on low ridge running N-S on well drained pasture-land with stream 30m to S and motte (WM002-019----) 110m to NNE. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a small square-shaped field transected by a field boundary at S running E-W. A square-shaped area (dims. 35m NNE-SSW; 35m WNW-SSE) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.4-10m) mainly reduced to a scarp at S and shallow external fosse (Wth 5-6m; int. D 0.4m; ext. D 1-2m) best preserved ay E with causewayed entrance (Wth 5.2m) at N located off centre to E. The interior has a slight slope from NE-SW. The bank is highest on the NE corner where it has a definite raised or rounded profile. This artificially raised area extends along the crest of the bank to the N and slightly so to the E. The corners are fairly sharp particularly NE & NW. The bank is very defaced on the S side where the fosse is barely visible. The fosse on the S side is continued on as an old field ditch to the E & W of the monument. See attached plan of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
