## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- CL027-035: Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL027-035----. At the top of a W-facing slope, in pasture overlooking Maryfort Lough to SW and Castle Lough to S, with good views across an undulating landscape, although inhibited by forestry in foreground to W and N. Depicted and named ‘Cromlech’ on all OS historic mapping. A rectangular area (3.7m E-W; 2.2m N-S) defined by two in situ, prostrate orthostats to S and two opposing sidestones which have fallen flat, outwards along the W end of the N side. An in situ sidestone forms the E-end of the N side. Three quite steadfast, rounded boulders are located at the E end of the S side. The interior is raised (H 0.2m) above the external ground level. A narrow view of the other smaller stones is seen under the raised side of the capstone. The capstone (L 2.3m ESE-WNW; Wth 2.05m NNE-SSW; T 0.24m) has fallen downwards to N and is tilted with its N side just above (H 0.3m) external ground level and the S side tilted upwards covering the interior of the monument and much higher (H 1m) above external ground level. The two largest orthostats bearing the weight of the capstone on the N side, have fallen outwards and are lying flat under the displaced capstone in both cases. Other small earthfast boulders and rocks are located immediately around the monument to S, W and N. A field boundary (long axis N-S) and a large oak tree directly abut the monument to E and it is likely that the lateral roots penetrate the monument. A thorn tree grows out of the exterior of the monument at S.

At the NE extent of Rosslara Lough. A small subcircular tree-covered island (diam. c. 30m) c. 40m from the shore. Not on any OS maps but visible on Google Earth (imagery date 25 April 2021) and other aerial photographs. Reported by Jean-Charles Caillère (March 2024). ‘Lecarrow Fort’ (CL027-014---) lies c. 200m to the NW. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 11 November 2025

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
