Recorded monuments

• WM038-022 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a low rise, in pasture, with good views to S. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork. Shown on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1973 as a circular-shaped area (diam. 33m) enclosed by a low bank with slight traces of an external fosse. The interior rises irregularly from the perimeter toward the centre and is quite overgrown with vegetation. Monument is visible today as a roughly oval-shaped tree-covered earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

• WM038-024 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  Surveyed in 2013 and described by McGuinness (2014, 44-5) as following: 'Although the survey-team was unable to gain access to the monument this season, it was described twice by ASI fieldworkers in the 1970s; and LIDAR data is now available. The 1973 ASI account: This is a small circular barrow about 2m high at its maximum height, & approx 9m in diam. The barrow is surrounded by a wide fosse with a wide low bank outside. The barrow is quite overgrown & is situated on a rise in rather rushy pasture land. There are wide views of the surrounding countryside from the barrow. [SMR file] And the 1977 account: This well-defined circular site consists of a central mound surrounded by a fosse and outer bank. The outer bank is highest to N and S, and lowest to E and W. The ground slopes away steeply from the site on all sides, except to NW where a hillock overlooks the site. The site supports many trees but is clear of undergrowth. There are extensive views from the site, especially to W & S.... Diameter of mound N-S = 10.5m [SMR file]. From these descriptions, the monument appears to be a ring-barrow; the LIDAR images given here show it to be moulded from a natural knoll, such that the bank is much lower than the central mound, and the ditch appears almost like a step. The monument seems to be depicted as stepped on historic OS 25” map on OSI website, where it is marked Knisheen Fort; a spring is shown less than 20m to N. A second, similar knoll is conjoined to the first at NW side, although no archaeological feature has been documented here'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by David McGuinness.
