Description
Situated on a marked W-facing slope. Slight indication of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) with an outer rampart (diam. c. 50m), visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (GSIAP, O 89-90).

- WI001-043 Water mill - horizontal-wheeled
Description
Situated in the western bank of the Brittas River, 200m upstream of Lisheens House. Three worked oak timbers in situ in the river bank at a depth of 1.2m. The basal timber (max. T 0.34m) is square-cut and has a rectangular mortisehole which does not perforate the entire depth of the timber. Resting on top of this is a radially split timber (H 0.28m; Wth 0.14m). The uppermost timber (max. H 0.05m; max. Wth 0.10m) is badly damaged and is unidentifiable from a surface inspection. It does not appear to be in contact with the lower timbers. Two sizeable stones rest on top of the basal timber but their function is unclear. The timbers are in a good state of preservation.
