- WM025-043 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a low rise, in undulating pasture, with good views to SSE, SW, W and NW. Monument described as a much disturbed, oval-shaped area (dims. 26m NW-SE; 23.5m NE-SW) enclosed by a steep earthen bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank with possible entrance gap (Wth at top 3.9m; basal Wth 2.2m) at E. The inner bank is reduced to a scarp from NW-N-E. There are slight traces of internal stone facing at S and a modern facing on the exterior of the scarp from S-W-NW. There are traces of a shallow fosse and a low outer bank from SW-W. Modern fences intersect the scarp at S, WNW and NW. The interior rises appreciably from the perimeter towards the centre where there is a house site (WM025-043001-). Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

Description
Situated on a low rise, in gently undulating and hilly pasture, with extensive views to SSE.

- WM025-044 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a slight rise, in low-lying, undulating pasture, with good views to SSE and overlooked by a ridge to NE. Monument described as a much disturbed subcircular-shaped area (approx. dims. 30m NW-SE) enclosed by an earthen bank and external fosse with no clear entrance feature visible. The earthen bank is substantial and visible from SW-W-N and is reduced to a low, steep scarp from SSE-S-SW with vague traces of an external fosse. The perimeter and a portion of the interior have been levelled out from N-E-S-SSE. The interior is much disturbed by cultivation ridges and trenches. A modern earth and stone field bank running NNE-SSW extends across the W quadrant of the monument. There is a gap in the scarp on either side of this field bank at SW. A modern wall running NW-SE extends across the perimeter of the monument at NE. There are old field banks and depressions to S and W of the monument.

- WM025-045 Souterrain
Description
Situated near the crest of a low rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views to N, W and extensive views to S and E. Monument described in 1978 as a slump into a souterrain which is blocked by a collapsed of earth and stone. A narrow view of a passage can be seen by removing some of the stones. The opening of a passage way can be seen in the edge of the rise, approx. 9m to NW. A large roof slab can be seen in the face of the rise at this location. This opening of the passage is blocked with stones and some iron sheeting. The area of the souterrain is traversed by field fences running NE-SW and NW-SE. This natural rise would have been suitable for the siting of a ringfort, although there is no visible surface trace of one. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

- WM025-087 Standing stone
Description
Situated on the N shoulder of a hill, in pasture, with commanding views to N and wide views to E and S. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Monument described in 1979 as an upright block of limestone (dims. H 1m; L 0.5m; T 0.34m) which is subtriangular-shaped in elevation.

- WM025-088 Castle - tower house
Description
Situated in low-lying pasture, with reasonable views to W, N and E, although overlooked by gently rising ground to S. Monument described in 1978 as the remains of a rectangular-shaped building (approx. dims. 18m E-W x 9m N-S) defined by the remains of walls to N, E and S. The S wall (approx. H 7m) is the best preserved and parts of those to E and S survive as lower walls, although the NE and SE corners are levelled. The W wall has been completely levelled and its approx. line is marked by rubble fragments. There is a substantial internal wall running N-S roughly 4m from the E wall. The springing of a vaulted roof over the second storey is traceable on the E side of the internal wall. There is no trace of vaulting in the W side. There are no quoin stones or cut stones of any sort visible. There are large mounds of rubble and a scatter of loose stones outside the walls on all sides. There is a line of rubble running roughly N-S approx. 7m to W of the castle ruin, which is more likely to be a bawn wall rather than the original position of the levelled W wall. Toward the N end of this line of rubble and approx. 20m from the castle are the remains of an old well shaft, now almost completely backfilled with stones. Several vernacular stone buildings lie c. 90m to SW of the castle ruin. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 12 September 2019
