- CL017-122 Bridge
Description
In a broad valley over a stream c. 100m E of where it enters Lough Atedaun. Listed as 'Potential site - name' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A bridge named 'Athmore' on the 1916 OS 6-inch map with 'Stepping Stones' also named at the same location. The bridge (aligned N-S) is only 1m wide and is broken with only remnants of the piers on the N and S banks intact. The S pier (max. L 2.9m; H 1.45m) is drystone built with faced surfaces but no distinctive dressing. There is no apparent causeway approaching the bridge on the S side. At N a moss-covered drystone wall is evident.

- CL017-123 Ringfort - cashel
Description
In an area of exposed karst and scrub overgrowth. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This suboval cashel (int. diam. 25.2m E-W; ext. diam. 28.6m) is defined by a collapsed double-faced drystone wall (dims. at W: Wth 1.3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.4m), which has been rebuilt from S-SW. A gap (Wth 3.4m) in the collapsed wall at E is lined on its N side by an upright stone (H 0.9m; L 0.8m; T 0.2m) and is likely the original entrance, with its N side surviving intact but widened at the S. The uneven interior of rock outcrop slopes down to the E. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 29-10-2025
