- 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
- WM025-153 Ritual site - holy well
Description
'Tober Baoíthen' stands on low lying, rough, rushy pasture, c. 15m S of the Monaghanstown River which forms the townland boundary with Rathcore. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25” map as an irregular-shaped area with outflow to S which drains into the river c. 115m to ESE. A spring well is depicted 30m N of the river on 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map where it is shown standing in the townland of Rathcore. Monument described in 1978 as a surface spring which rises and flows to N via a drain and into the river. The bank between the well and the river has been breached and the drain deepened to facilitate the flow of the spring directly into the river at this closer point. The well is unenclosed and has no archaeological significance. The well can be seen connected directly to the river at N on Digital Globe aerial photography.
