Recorded monuments

• DG062-038 Souterrain
  Description

  On a SE-facing slope in tillage (potatoes). The souterrain was discovered in Spring 2014, just 0.2m beneath the present ground level when a roof-stone was dislodged during the course of ploughing. The resultant opening (1m x 0.6m) gives access to a linear passage aligned NNW-SSE (total exposed L c. 4.5m; Wth. 1.1m; H c. 0.3-0.8m), constructed of roughly coursed drystone walls and roofed with large flat roof-stones. It is lowest at the portion to the NNW of the opening (L c. 1m), but this may be at least partially due to a build-up of soil since the roof-stone was dislodged. At the portion to the SSE of the opening (L c. 3.5m) the floor level gradually slopes downwards, thus raising then height of the passage. The two ends of the exposed part of the passage are blocked up with soil. A rectangular area (dims. 13.5m; 4m), within which the souterrain is located, has been left untilled. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 11 August 2014

• DG062-039 Standing stone
  Description

  On the NNW-facing slope of a prominent drumlin ridge in tillage (barley). Large, irregularly-shaped stone (H 1.4m; Wth at base 1.45m; max. Wth. 2.46m; T 0.6m), aligned NNE-SSW and tapering to a point. Adjacent to the foot of the stone on the ESE side are three large irregularly-shaped stones. There are two at the WNW side. This is a prominent feature on the landscape and is known in the locality as an ancient monument. Accordingly, an oval-shaped area (dims. 8m x 3.5m) around the stone has been left untilled.
