What is recorded here

Knocknaskeagh holds a burnt mound beside a modern drain, where angular stone and black soil still mark an old fire. The mound sits at the foot of a hillock crowned by a rath, suggesting people gathered near water, heat and protection. It may have fed travellers, tempered tools or simply warmed bodies when rain came.

In lowlying wet pasture, located at the base of the SW-facing slope of a hillock, on top of which a rath (MA080-037----) is located. There is another rath (MA080-025----) c. 130m to NW. A slight mound (3m NW-SE; c. 1m NE–SW) borders the E side of a straight NW−SE field drain (Wth 2m; D 1.2m). Angular stone fragments in black soil are visible in both section faces of the drain. It may be the remnants of a fulacht fia cut through by the drain. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 6 December 2021
