• LI057-012 Earthwork
  Description

  In pasture on E bank of River Aherlow. Not Depicted on the historic OSi maps. Identified as a possible enclosure on Bórd Gáis Éireann Curraleigh West-Limerick gas pipeline aerial photographs (Strip map 3, site 3/1) taken 03/11/1984. Visible as a circular-shaped depression (diam. c. 25m) on Google Earth orthoimage dated 14/09/2019. Doubtful antiquity, earthwork may be the result of post-1700 quarrying rather than the remains of an archaeological enclosure. See attached Gas pipeline aerial image and Google Earth orthoimages.

• LI057-014 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Ó Danachair (1955, 208) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'Paradise Well on 1840 map. A small well on the edge of a small ring-fort, surrounded by thorn trees. Rounds were made up to about 1930, especially for the cure of sore eyes. The cloth used to bathe the eyes was left on the bushes as an offering. Paradise appears to be a place name unconnected with the well. Legends: The well moved when profaned. Heavenly music was heard in the vicinity of the well'.
