Recorded monuments

• LF005-010001 Structure
  Description

  On a SW-facing slope in pasture, within a graveyard (LF005-010001-). Possibly an early monastery associated with St Modan (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 394), whose feast day is held on the 6th of March (McNamee 1942a, 24). A structure described as the 'remains of the ancient Cell are of the slightest, but are just traceable, and seem to indicate the presence of one of those circular or bee-hive buildings' was recorded by McNamee (ibid., 25). No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 5 June 2013

• LF005-010002 Graveyard
  Description

  Possible associated with an early monastery (see LF005-010001-). This roughly subcircular graveyard (70m N-S; 62m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall from NNE-S-NNW. A modern concrete block wall cuts across the N sector at NNW and NNE and the area to the N of it is now used as a car park. The enclosing wall may mirror the line of an ecclesiastical enclosure. The main access point is a wide, wrought-iron gate in the N wall. Memorials date from the 19th to the 21st centuries. (Lennon 2005) Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan, Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 5 June 2013

• LF005-011 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a NW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This rath has been largely levelled. Extant remains comprise a raised circular area (diam. 42.5m) defined by a scarp (H 0.7-1.7m). A very wide, shallow fosse (Wth 8m; D 0.2-0.4m) is evident from SW-WSW. The original entrance is not recognisable. Known locally as the 'Foxes' Den'. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
