• GA087-259 Inscribed stone
  Description

  On the W edge of a knoll in rough pastureland. In advance of reclamation works, a reported flagstone with an insciption was inspected in August 1961 (SMR file). The inscription proved to be incomplete and almost illegible and it was thought that it was not more than two to three hundred years old. No further details were recorded about it or of the flagstone itself. Following the reclamation works the stone appears to have been removed as on re-inspection in April 2008 it could not be located. According to local information, when the stone was visible, a school teacher from Aughrim national school used to bring people to see it. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 16 February 2023

• GA087-262 Bridge
  Description

  In pastureland on the NW bank of the Ballinure River. This bridge of is built of random rubble with a lime-based mortar. One partially collapsed semicircular arch (dims. H 0.85m; Wth 1.9m; L c. 2m) of thin voussoirs (L 0.5m) survives. It is grass covered but its external face is visible on the S side. The original road metal (L 4m) is covered in thick tufts of grass and no parapet wall survives. The archway is now dry as the present course of the river has been diverted c. 2m to the S and it has evidently been deepened. The bridge would have originally crossed the river at a right angle. According to local information, this bridge was in use before the existing stone bridge was constructed c. 4.2m to its E. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 4 April 2017
