• WM003-003 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a high hill top with extensive rock outcrop and limestone pavements, 20m NE of a steep cliff marked on all editions of the OS 6-inch maps as 'The Rock of Curry'. The Hill of Mael with its hilltop enclosure (WM003-008----) is 1km to the ENE. Slight remains of a poorly preserved circular-shaped round topped cairn (approx. diam. 12-14m; approx. H 0.75-1m) with slight depression off centre to SE. OS trig. station marking OD level of 610 ft. above sea level marked by cairn.

• WM003-007 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a small ledge between two steep hills, the terrain slopes from the site to the N to the foot of Hill of Mael and the Rock of Curry to the NNW. Depicted as a roughly semi-circular shaped earthwork with stream running N-S along E side of earthwork. This stream marks the townland boundary between Curry and Lickbla. It has been suggested this earthwork was originally a circular or oval shaped enclosure which was partially demolished on the E side of the stream which created the semi-circular shaped earthwork depicted on the OS 6-inch maps. However there is no evidence to suggest that the earthwork was fully circular and there are no surface remains of any enclosing element or any cropmark visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs of an enclosing feature on the E side of the stream. A large pond is visible on E side of the stream. Present remains consist of a roughly semi-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 40m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank and wide shallow external fosse with remains of a low outer bank visible from visible from NW-N only. No clear entrance feature visible. The interior has low humps which are probably grass-covered heaps of small field stones. Modern fences intersect the perimeter of the site at SW & WNW.

• WM003-031 Earthwork
  Description

  Situated in grassland on rise of ground. Outline of earthwork visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. Circular-shaped earthwork depicted on 1st. ed. OSi 6-inch map where it is depicted as a circular-shaped earthwork transected at NE by a field boundary running NW-SE. Depicted on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map as a semi-circular shaped area (diam. c. 30m) defined by a ditch transected at E by a field boundary running NW-SE. Earthwork shown on the OSi 25-inch map as a D-shaped slightly raised area defined by a scarp, ditch and outer bank transected at E by a field boundary running NW-SE Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 14 August 2023

• WM003-032 Designed landscape - tree-ring
  Description

  Depicted as a grove of trees standing beside a tree-lined avenue leading up to Webbsbrook House 115m to N and not as an antiquity on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch. Hachured as a circular-shaped earthwork (approx. diam. 37m N-S; 33m E-W) on revised 1911 ed. OS 6-inch map. Circular shaped earthwork visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011. Probably a tree-ring of post-1700 date associated with landscaping of demesne belonging to Webbsbrook House. Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 January 2017
