• WI042-056 Enclosure
  Description

  Located in a relatively flat location (c. 98m OD) in a gently undulating landscape characterised by tillage and pastoral farming, and c. 520m SE of the summit of a low gently sloping hillock (c. 110m OD). Land slopes gently away to the S towards a small tributary of the Dereen River, which is located c. 150m to S. Sited c. 215m SE of the site of a ringfort (WI042-016----), now levelled (after 1990) but survives as a cropmark, and c. 1.6kms WNW of the remains of St. Finnian’s Church\Aghowle Church (WI042-019001-), an important early ecclesiastical site with numerous related monuments including a high cross and 20+ cross slabs, (WI042-019002 to WI042-019033). This large enclosure is clearly visible on Google Earth aerial photograph of the site (July 2021). It consists of a subcircular feature (ext. dims c. 73.7m N-S x 80.1m E-W) that is defined by a continuous ditch (Wth c. 2.45m to N and c. 2.57 to S) that can largely be traced along the entire circuit on the above aerial photograph apart from a small section to the E (now within a different field – July 2021). No definitive evidence for an entrance gap. There is possibly the remains of a smaller circular enclosure cropmark overlapping the ditch of this large enclosure to the SW quadrant. Compiled by: T.J. O'Meara based on details provided by Jean-Charles Caillère Uploaded on: 29/06/2023

• WI042-057 Enclosure
  Description

  Located in a gently undulating landscape (c. 119m OD) characterised by tillage and pastoral farming, and located towards the N end of a field currently in use for pastoral farming (July 2021). Landscape slopes gently from S to N. Site located adjacent (c. 250m) to Killinure House (NIAH 16404203) and c. 450 SW of Oaks Cross Roads within the historic demesne of Killinure House (as indicated on the Ordnance Survey first ed. six-inch map of c. 1838). Cropmark(s) located c. 330m S\SSW of an enclosure (WI042-006----), and c. 1.3kms ENE of the site of a burial ground (WI042-005----) that is also located in the townland of Killinure. This enclosure(s) or field system is visible as a cropmark(s) on the Google Earth aerial photograph of the site (July 2021). It consists of irregular feature (ext. dims c. 142.4m N-S x 104.2m E-W) that is defined by a ditch (Wth c. 3.79 to E boundary; c. 2.2m to W and N boundaries) that is most clearly visible along the N, W and E boundaries in the above aerial photograph. No visible evidence for an entrance gap. There is an additional irregular feature\enclosure\field system (ext. dims c. 85m N-S x 59.4m E-W) attached to the W boundary of the above feature that is defined by a narrow ditch (Wth c. 1.6m) that can be traced along the entire circuit. Other linear cropmarks within the same field are former field boundaries indicated on the Ordnance Survey first ed. six-inch map of c. 1838 that have been later removed (post c. 1910). It is possible that the above irregular features are a former field system that was later reordered following the establishment of the Killinure Estate during the early-nineteenth century although they may be the result of earlier activity to site.
