Recorded monuments

• LF009-001 Bullaun stone
  Description

  A small circular feature is represented on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map immediately to the E of the symbol for a limekiln (LF009-001002-). The limekiln is not indicated on the OS 25-inch plan (1911), though the circle is shown and is named ‘St. Patrick’s Well.’ The ‘holy well’ may clearly be identified with the bullaun stone which appears to have been moved from its original location and now protrudes from the top of a mound at NNW. The mound is all that remains of the limekiln. The bullaun stone is largely buried and contains a circular basin (diam. 0.14m; D 0.11m) which is covered by a large rounded stone. Religious medals and coins have been placed in the basin. There are at least four similar rounded stones in the immediate vicinity.

• LF009-001002 Kiln - lime
  Description

  The symbol for a limekiln is represented on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map immediately to the W of a small circular feature. The limekiln is not indicated on the OS 25-inch plan (1911) though the circle is shown and named ‘St. Patrick’s Well’ The ‘holy well’ may clearly be identified with a bullaun stone (see LF009-001----). The limekiln survives as an irregularly shaped, relatively flat-topped mound of earth and stone (7m NNE-SSW; 5.2m WNW-ESE; H 0.3-0.85m). The bullaun stone appears to have been moved from its original location and it now protrudes from the top of the mound at NNW. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 23 November 2012

• LF009-002001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Within the interior of a rath (LF009-002002-). Noted in 1837 as being one of the seven castles of the O’Farrell’s in Annaly (OSL, 70) and in the OS Name Book as 'Bawn fort and the ruins of an old castle to its northwest point’ (OSNB, Killoe parish, 1836-7, book 15, no. 295). However, a building, aligned NW-SW, bearing the designation 'Castle' is marked on the 1837 edition of the OS map at the E extent of the rath. A report in 1966 (SMR file) noted that the castle and the rath were levelled. No visible surface trace survives. The rath may have been reused as the bawn of the castle. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 1 October 2012

• LF009-002002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low rise on a hilltop affording extensive views in all directions. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A 'Castle' (see LF009-002001-) is depicted within the enclosed area. Both were described in 1966 as 'recently levelled' (SMR file). However, the outline of the enclosure, marked by a poorly defined scarp (max. H 1m) and defining a circular area (diam. 44m), is still identifiable albeit with difficulty. The rath may have been reused as the bawn of the castle. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 November 2011

• LF009-008 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low NW-SE rise in pasture. A raised subcircular area (41m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 6-9.8m; H 0.75-1.5m) with a waterlogged external fosse (Wth c. 7.2-10m; D 0.4-1.35m), which has been partially infilled in recent years. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 2/1978).
