Recorded monuments
- LF022-004 Ringfort - rath
Description
In low-lying, poorly drained pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- LF022-068 Cist
Description
In low-lying rough pasture that had been reclaimed from bog. This rectangular cist (int. dims. 1.75m N-S; 0.85m E-W; D 0.85m at S, c. 1.1m at N), aligned approx. N-S, was discovered in 1995 (SMR file). Its S and W sides were constructed of vertically set, large stone slabs, the tops of which were covered by a layer of peaty soil. The N and E sides were ruinous and appeared to have been defined partly by drystone-walling. A number of horizontal slabs were also identified on the E side that may have formed part of the original walling. The cist had been covered with a large roofstone that had been broken into a number of pieces, one of which fell into the cist. The floor was formed, in part, of large stones. Two bones, identified as a human ulna and rib, were recovered together with a quantity of what appeared to be charred wood. The cist was infilled and is not visible at ground level.
