Recorded monuments

• MA030-044 Standing stone
  Description

  In an area of undulating grassland, on the outskirts of Ballina Town, prominently sited on top of a knoll, overlooking the valley of the River Moy to W, with excellent views of Nephin and the Nephin Beg range in the distance to SW. There is a spring/area of wet ground at the base of the slope to SW. This standing stone is not shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map, but is indicated and named ‘Standing Stone’ on the 1930 edition. An upright, pillar-like stone (H 2.5m; Wth 0.7m, 0.55m at top; T 0.26-0.36m), with a rectangular cross-section. It narrows slightly towards the top, which gives it a slightly ‘shouldered’ appearance. It leans gently to N, and is encircled by a few small stones, and by a slight depression, probably the result of farm stock using the stone as a scratching post.

• MA031-006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In average pasture, on a terrace on the gentle S-facing slope of a knoll. Good views to E, restricted by rising ground to N and by trees to S. This monument is shown as a circular ringfort-sized enclosure (diam. 25-30m) on the 1837-8 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It has been levelled, and a modern house partly overlies the location. The house stands on a platform that may partly reflect the original outline of the enclosure. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 June 2018
