Recorded monuments

• MA087-019 Designed landscape - belvedere
  Description

  In pasture, situated on elevated ground. Indicated as ‘Turret’ on the 1838 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps, this is an early 19th-century folly or belvedere, designed as a location from which to enjoy views of the surrounding landscape. It is a squat structure of mortared stone, rectangular in plan (max dim. 6-7m). There are opposing openings in the walls, with flat heads of cutstone limestone voussoirs. The roof is missing, but the decorative battlemented parapet is intact. It appears to have been part of the landscaped grounds of a 19th-century dwelling, named Cherry Cottage on the OS 6-inch maps, which is located c. 100m to N. (see also NIAH, https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/ reg. no. 31211003) Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 19 May 2020

• MA087-020 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, located on elevated ground. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), incorporated into the junction of four modern rectangular fields. The enclosure was levelled in the past, and there is no visible trace at ground level; its location and size suggest that it may have been a ringfort (Morahan 2001, 107).
