What is recorded here

Glebe Dotted outline is a moated site in County Limerick, Ireland, hidden in pasture beside a public road. The land was church-owned glebe, possibly a monastic grange, though no map ever drew its boundaries. Two faint cropmarks still trace the east and south sides of a rectangular earthwork, while the road completes the west. The north remains open, as if the site never finished closing itself to the world.

In pasture, 40m NE of a public road, which also marks a townland boundary with Cloghnamanagh. Not depicted on OSi historic maps, although the larger rectangular-shaped field is annotated ‘Glebe’ on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. This church owned glebe land was tentatively identified by the SMR as a possible monastic grange (SMR File; GSIAP 449/450). Monument is visible as a vague trace of two linear cropmarks which may define the NE and SE sides of a rectangular-shaped earthwork with the road marking a third side to SW and open to NW as best seen on Google Earth orthoimage taken 05/04/2006. Two other linear cropmarks running NE-SW are parallel to SE. See attached Google Earth orthoimage Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 3 November 2020
