What is recorded here

On a W-facing slope of a low drumlin. The village of Aughmore existed before the Great Famine (1845-9) but the tenants were evicted in 1847 after a bitter rent strike when the village was levelled (Coyle 1994, 27-36). Geophysical testing of an area of c. 1 ha located c. 70m NE of the rath (RO024-004001-) identified a sunken roadway (RO024-004003-) approaching the rath from the NE. Excavation recovered over 9000 pottery artefacts dating from 1800 to 1848 at the site of a house, identified through records as the Neary house, and an adjacent cobbled yard (Orser 1999, 2000; 2002; 2003; Hull and Orser 2004; Hull 2006).
