Recorded monuments

• LI031-082 Watercourse
  Description

  In wet pasture 96m W of the River Maigue which forms townland boundary with Inchinclare and 30m NE of townland boundary with Ballyphillips, a burial ground (LI031-124----) lies 250m to NE. Depicted on the OSi 25-inch map as a hollow-way (dims. L 56m) running NW-SE, flanked on either side by an earthen bank intersected at NW and SE by post-1700 field boundaries. A field boundary (L c. 250m) running NW-SE indicated on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map and not depicted on 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map which suggests that it was levelled between these dates. Traces of this field boundary are visible on the OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-2012 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 16/03/2016. Earthwork is visible as a meandering linear cropmark on the OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-2012 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 28/06/2018. The aerial imagery suggests that the meandering remains of this earthwork may be the remains of a watercourse rather than that a sunken road. Earthwork is not visible on Google Earth orthoimage dated 28/06/2018. See attached Google Earth orthoimages Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 24 March 2021
