• WM002-011 Barrow - mound barrow
  Description

  Monument surveyed in 2015 and described by McGuinness (2015, 55) as following: ‘With nothing visible by the time an ASI fieldworker visited the site on 6/8/79 [SMR file], this earthen mound or tumulus had been mostly destroyed by the time of its excavation in 1958, with only the NE quadrant being fairly intact and outline of remainder just traceable, from which Prendergast estimated an original diameter of 8m and a central height of ‘probably not more than 1m’. A single cutting on NW circumference revealed no evidence of a surrounding ditch, nor was there surface evidence for one farther out. Mound was of compact brown earth with some stone, on a layer of pasty grey clay which included a layer of charcoal covering the original ground surface including the central area; from the surviving stratigraphy, excavator believed mound to belong to a single construction phase, with the grey layer interpreted as a layer of turfs spread over the charcoal before rest of mound was constructed. Excavation of surviving portion of mound, comprising most of NE quadrant, uncovered four discrete cremation burials or collections of burials, along with three small pockets of cremated bone. Burial A, the remains of an adult, were covered by an Early-Middle Bronze Age Cordoned Urn; Burial B, containing at least one adult, had the barest stone protection and no grave goods; Burial C, comprising a large pile of cremated bones including adult remains and a c. 16-year-old youth, was enclosed by a half-destroyed polygonal cist, and contained two men’s shaving razors of a similar type to those found in the Knockast mound-barrow (Kavanagh 1991, 98-100); Burial D comprised some unprotected and unaccompanied adult remains. Given the poor condition of the bones from the burials and cremation-pockets, the total number of bodies and age and gender distribution could not be ascertained beyond the recognition of 5+ bodies including adults and children. In the charcoal layer under core of mound was found a curved piece of thin bronze of unknown function; also found somewhere near centre of mound, at the lowest level, were fragments of a miniature vessel or Pygmy Cup. The excavator took all this material to be contemporary as the mound was a single-phase construction. The ASI fieldworker who visited the site in 1979 was informed of similar pots having been found by a Mr Ross while working his land prior to the excavation of the barrow ‘to the E side of the road [from the barrow]’, suggesting the possibility that the barrow was just one component of a larger Bronze Age cemetery [SMR file]. (Prendergast 1960; Waddell 1990, 150-51; Kavanagh 1976, 375-6; 1977, 89; 1991, 98)’. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by David McGuinness. Date of upload: 9 February 2016

• WM002-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on almost level poorly drained land, stream 30m to NW, bog 100m to E now planted with trees, Kilmore House 65m to SSE. A circular-shaped area (diam. 34m E-W) enclosed by a wide low earthen bank and wide shallow external fosse which has been filled in at E. No definite entrance feature identified. The wet rushy interior is fairly even and is featureless. There are several gaps in the enclosing bank. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.

• WM002-015 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in average pasture-land with Rectory or Glebe House standing on SW quadrant of possible ecclesiastical enclosure, modern farmyard immediately to W. The 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map shows that the curving bank of the enclosure of the N side represents the N boundary of the glebe lands associated with Kilmore Church (WM002-015001-). These glebe lands and the medieval church of Kilmore are depicted on the 1654-9 Down Survey map of Street parish (NLI, Ms 723-4). On this map the medieval church is depicted standing to the S of the glebe land which measures 5 acres in size. The precise location of Kilmore church has not been identified. Present remains consist of a large oval or sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 57m N-S; 65m E-W) defined by a low poorly preserved earthen bank best preserved from N-E where it has been incorporated into a modern field boundary. The bank has been reduced to a scarp from E-S-SW while elsewhere it has been levelled. The adjoining farmyard encroaches on the W side of the site destroying the enclosing element in this area. The interior is fairly even with some slight rises. Low scarps to the S & SE of this enclosure visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs are associated with an old avenue leading up to the rectory. According to the landowner several skulls were unearthed near the perimeter of the enclosure while making part of the farmyard to the W. These skulls may belong to a graveyard (WM001-015002-) associated with the medieval church of Kilmore (WM001-015001-). Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 23 November 2016

• WM002-015002 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in average pasture-land, modern farmyard stands on site of possible graveyard located immediately W of possible ecclesiastical enclosure (WM002-015---). The 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map shows that the farmyard is located in the NW quadrant of the glebe lands associated with Kilmore Church (WM002-015001-). These glebe lands and the medieval church of Kilmore are depicted on the 1653-9 Down Survey map of Street parish. On this map the medieval church is depicted standing to the S of the glebe land which measures 5 acres in size. The precise location of Kilmore church has not been identified. According to the landowner several skulls were unearthed near the perimeter of the enclosure while making part of the farmyard to the W. These skulls may belong to a graveyard associated with the medieval church of Kilmore (WM001-015001-). This would indicate that the church was located in the area where the modern farmyard stands today. Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 23 November 2016
