Designated sites
No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Bustyhill.
Recorded monuments
- DU020-010 Souterrain
Description
The 1843 edition of the OS 6-inch map shows a 'cave site' on Busty Hill. This may refer to the former existence of a souterrain which has been filled in. However, the site is very exposed and at an altitude where one would not expect to find settlement suggesting that this was a natural, rather than man-made feature (Healy 1974, 23; O'Sullivan 1986, 27; Clinton 1998, 122).
Architectural heritage
- The Cottage, house, 1900–1920 · Regional interest
Description
Detached five-bay single-storey house, c.1915. Smooth rendered walls. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Timber door in lean-to porch. Pitched diagonally-tiled roof with smooth rendered chimney stacks. Cylindrical squared stone gate piers with wrought-iron gate to road. Single-storey outbuilding to west.
