Knockgranish. Settlement and Field system
The remains of an abandoned settlement lie on the edge of an arable field. Only five structures remain visible as low stony banks (0.4 m high). The three larger buildings are on average 11 m by 5 m while two smaller buildings are 7 m square and 4 m by 2 m. An enclosure lies to the south-east of the complex and is triangular shaped in form. The complex has been truncated to the north-west by the construction of a compound for the municipal tip. Substantial quantities of metal have also been dumped upon the site. <1>
