Nature and heritage
Designated sites and recorded monuments
Designated sites
No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Belinstown.
Recorded monuments
- DU007-049 Enclosure
Description
A number of irregular shaped enclosures visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Located on relatively high ground with expansive view south to the Dublin Mountains and north to the Fourknocks ridge. The site is located within the high point of the field although it dips slightly north of the remaining hedge line and there appears to be a darker hue to the soil-although this could relate to drainage. No visible remains. Compiled by: David O’Connor Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 3 December 2014
