Recorded monuments

• LI032-120 Megalithic structure
  Description

  Described by O'Kelly (1944, 19) as following; 'This is very much defaced, only one of the side stones of the chamber remaining. Resting on it is, another stone which may have been a cap-stone, but this even is not certain, for it was removed by the land-owner who bored a hole in it near one end and used it as a gate-post. It was later returned to the site due to superstitious fears. About 3' [0.9m] to the E. of these there is a third stone which is partly embedded in a modern fence. It is not possible to say whether this is a collapsed end-, side-, or cap-stone.'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 06 August 2019

• LI032-122 Cave
  Description

  Site of cave described by Lynch (1913, 20) as following; 'Just outside Mr. Leahy's yard wall is a fine conglomerate, which many years ago, Mr. Leahy was informed, was used as a Mass Rock. About sixty yards [55m] north of this Mr. Kelly pointed out the exact spot where the cave was discovered. Mr. Leahy Jnr., heard old men from Bruff say that the entrance to the cave was formed of cut stone. It is about 100 yards [91m] due east of the cromleac [LI032-120----].
