Recorded monuments
- LF005-017 Megalithic tomb - passage tomb
Description
On the summit of Corn Hill adjacent to a tall communications mast and associated buildings. This is a large, round cairn (diam. 18m; H c. 3m) on which there is an OS trigonometrical pillar. Though largely grass- and heather-grown, the indications are that it is of stone construction. A field wall, also the townland boundary, runs E-W across the top of the cairn. A central chamber approached by a passage from the NE, reportedly discovered in the cairn during the early decades of the 20th century, is said to have been reopened and then filled with stones in the 1960s (Herity 1974, 261). This may be a passage tomb. There are two cairns (LF005-018---- and LF005-020----) in the vicinity: the former lies c. 120m to the SW, the latter was not located.

- LF005-018 Cairn - unclassified
Description
On the SW slope of Corn Hill; c. 120m to the NE, at the highest point, is a possible passage tomb (LF005-017----). Panoramic views are afforded except from NE–E–ESE where limited by higher ground. This low, circular, dome-shaped cairn (diam. at base 16.2m; max. H 1.2m) is divided into two unequal portions by an ENE–WSW field boundary (which also marks the boundary between the two townlands). The smaller portion, to the NNW (in Dooroc townland), has been destroyed. The cairn material is interspersed with earth and peat and a quarry-hole has been dug into the centre of the monument.

- LF009-005 Enclosure
Description
On a SSE-facing slope in rough pasture. Depicted as a tree-ring on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. 24m) enclosed from SE-S-WNW by a low bank of earth and stone (H 0.2-0.7m). From WNW-NNW-N it is occupied by a farm building. From N-NNE-NE the bank has been levelled but its outline is still identifiable. From NE-E-SE it is defined by a low scarp (H 0.5m) with a field drain at its foot and a field bank immediately beyond this. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is used as a paddock. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
