Nature and heritage
Designated sites and recorded monuments
Designated sites
- Special Area of Conservation: Derryclogher (Knockboy) Bog SAC 001873
- Proposed Natural Heritage Area: Derryclogher (Knockboy) Bog 001873
Recorded monuments
- CO091-073 Burial ground
Description
Known locally as a 'ceallunach'. The site is to the west of the Priests Leap road and is in an area of improved grazing. The oval shaped area, marked off by the stone wall, measures c 20m N-S and c 13m E-W and is at the edge of a small scarp just over a meter in height. The interior is overgrown with bracken and is full of stones, many of which look like burial markers. However, there are also some arrangements of larger slabs of stone set contiguously, horizontally on their edges, two lines parallel to each other, at least four on the west and two on the east side, and about 3m apart. These stones possibly are the remains of a kerb built around an earlier monument. The local residents have recently protected it by building a stone wall around its perimeter.

- CO091-074001 Mass-rock
Description
According to the landowner, there is a mass-rock at this location. About 30m west of the burial ground (CO091-073----) are a group of large boulders around the base of an ash tree. It is not clear which is the mass-rock but is probably the southern one, which is rectangular in shape and almost level (mentioned in a local history book called ‘Hidden Gold’ ed. Julia Kemp FAS 1998, p.159) Compiled by: Tony Miller Date of upload: 25 February 2015
- CO091-074002 Bullaun stone
Description
About 3m west and down slope of the mass rock (CO091-074001-) is a single bullaun cut into a sub-rectangular slab of stone lying on the ground. The stone measures c 1.9m E-W; c 0.7m N-S and at least 0.2m in thickness. The bowl is close to the edge near the narrower eastern end and is c 0.22m in diameter and c 0.1m in depth.
