Rath of the Early Christian Period and landscape feature of the Eighteenth Century/Nineteenth Century.
SMR NO: ARM 016:005
Irish Grid Reference: H89854204
Townland: DRUMGAW
CONDITION: some remains
The interior of this circular earthwork has been built up c.1.3m on the NE to counteract the natural slope & create a level platform 39m in diam. It in enclosed on N, E & S by a steep sided bank surmounted by a hedge & beyond this by a recut ditch. At W, the perimeter has been levelled & only a slight scarp survives. The bank is most substantial on S where it is c.3.5m wide & O.9m high above the interior. The ditch also varies - 3m x 0.6 m deep at S to less that 2m wide at NE. See SM7 for further details.
Ecclesiastical site (church and graveyard) of uncertain period
SMR NO: ARM 016:062
Irish Grid Reference: H89954260
Townland: KILLYCAPPLE, DRUMGAW
CONDITION: no visible remains
The area has been generally improved. The hill slopes down to the N/NW but gives way to a relatively level platform bounded by the river at N & the stream at W. There are no surface indications of a church. The platform could easily have accomodated an E-W structure.
