- LI022-097 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Site of holy well dedicated to St. John the Baptist. According to O'Kelly (1943, 226) a water pump had been erected over the well and all devotion had ceased. Described in 1955 as following; 'This well has disappeared; its spring, apparently, now supplies a pump. No surviving tradition' (Ó Danachair 1955, 216).

- LI022-099 Ringfort - rath
Description
Enclosure described in 1942-3 as following; 'This consists of an oval platform which had an earthen bank on its edge. The latter is almost entirely gone except for a little distance on the south-west side. There are no traces of it on the north side. The southern end of the monument is completely obliterated. A cart track passes close by on this side and the material of the platform may have been taken for this. There is a step-down just north of the centre, making the northern half of the platform lower than the southern. This step may be accidental as the same feature runs all along the field. It is situate close to the last monument [LI022-095----] described above. The overall diameter is 150' [46m] east-west, and it is 180' [55m] north-south' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 227).
