Recorded monuments

• WM003-054 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  No surface remains visible of Turbotstown Castle which is depicted on the 1657 Down Survey map of Fore Barony (NLI, MS 723-4). The terrier of the 1657 Down Survey map of Mayne parish lists Richard Desse [Dease], an Irish papist as the owner of the lands and castle of Turbotstown in 1641 (ibid.). The precise location of this castle has not been identified. The location of Turbotstown House matches closely the location of the medieval castle on the 1657 Down Survey map suggesting that the present house was built either on the site of or close to the site of Turbotstown Castle. The castle is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. The owner of Turbotstown House believes that part of the yard overlies the site of an earlier house. This earlier house could incorporate the site of Turbotstown Castle. High in the wall of the out offices in the yard immediately NW of Turbotstown House are two stone heads. The heads are placed over doorways and are quite large, carved in limestone with very sharp features, they appear sexless and appear to date from the 19th century. Turbotstown House described by the National Inventory of Architectural heritage as a 'detached three-bay two-storey house country house, built c.1810, with projecting single-bay entrance front with raised parapet over and a single-bay cut limestone tetrastyle Greek Ionic entrance porch the centre of the main façade (southeast)' (www.buildingsofireland.ie).

• WM003-056 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  A slight rise of ground marks the location of this levelled enclosure (approx. diam. 40m) which may have been a possible ringfort. Outline of levelled monument not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload; 24 January 2020

• WM003-062 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a very slight rise in level pasture-land, on the demesne lands of Turbotstown House located 860m to NW, gate lodge to house located 210m to SSE. Not depicted as an antiquity on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Depicted as a designed landscape feature on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. A small sub-circular shaped area (diam. 21m NE-SW; 17m NW-SE) defined by a low steep scarp which has been damaged by tree planting in the past, and more recently by livestock. Slight remains of shallow trenches, seemingly of nineteenth century date and possibly associated with the tree planting in the NW quadrant of the site. The monument is enclosed within a D-shaped banked enclosure of post-1700 date, which was built to enclose the tree-plantation. No trees now survive, however numerous tree stumps can still be seen. Possibly a ringfort that was later modified into a tree-ring. Alternatively this monument may have been built as tree-ring in the post-1700 period as part of the landscaping of the demesne lands of Turbotstown House.
