Recorded monuments

• MA117-001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  A 19th-century description of this holy well records it as being located at the foot of a tree, with an adjacent bush ‘on which pieces of cloth, etc., are generally hung as votive offerings; and at a few yards to the south, is a stone seat, which appears to be of ancient date. “Stations” are performed here almost every day, during the course of which it is usual to walk barefoot around the well, tree and bush.’ (‘Proceedings’ in Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquarian of Ireland 1870-71, 11, 349). It was record by Lavelle (1994, 96, no. 648) as follows: 'Situated on E-facing slope, in pasture, 200m from W shore of Lough Mask. Three sided stone-built well, square in shape (L 1.2m N-S; D 0.7m) with entrance to E. Now dried up and interior filled with loose stone.'

• MA117-063 Rock art
  Description

  Located at the top of an E-facing slope in the W corner of a pasture field, 10m SSW of a holy well (MA117-001----). The slope drops steeply to level ground which stretches to the wooded shoreline of Lough Mask, which lies c. 200m to W. Prostrate limestone slab (L 1.05m NE−SW; Wth 0.28m; T at least 0.1m), embedded in the ground surface, with a carving of concentric rings (diam. 0.16m) on its upper surface. The slab is roughly rectangular in shape and cross-section. The carving is located more or less mid-way along the upper surface of the slab, somewhat off-centre so that it lies closer to one long side of the stone. At first glance the design appears to be a spiral; however, the incised grooves cannot be traced as a continuous spiral line. The three innermost incised rings form complete circles, with the innermost ring enclosing a small central boss. The outermost incised lines do not describe complete circles; they are discontinuous, interrupted by ridges and rough areas on the stone surface. There is irregularity also in the width of the gaps between the incised lines, and to a lesser extent in the width and depth of the incised lines themselves. It is possible that the carving represents prehistoric rock art, however, the stone is clearly not in its original location, and its history is unknown. The date and exact nature of the carving, therefore, remain uncertain. Attached image: MA117-063----_01.JPG Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 June 2017
