• GA084-090 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On low-lying drained marshy ground. Named ‘Tobar Padraig’ only on the 1933 edition of the 6-inch OS map. On inspection in 1983, it consisted of a natural spring well supplying a nearby stream. On a subsequent inspection in 1992, there was no visible trace of it as a wide deep drain was cut across it. Cody (1989, 333, no. 148), referring to the OS Revision Name Book, noted that in 1928 it was no longer regarded as a holy well.

• GA084-091 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In flat pastureland, immediately to the N of a stream running NE-SW. This fulacht fia is defined by a well-preserved horseshoe-shaped mound (19m N-S; 15.5m E-W; H 1.3m) with a central depression opening to the N. The stream has been artificially widened, causing disturbance to the mound's exterior at S. Both here and at NE black earth and burnt limestone are visible. Some slippage has occurred at E and W.
