Recorded monuments

• LI023-146 Enclosure
  Description

  Identified from an aerial photograph (Bruff Survey: Map 23, Bruff 23.1: AP 4/3735) and described by Doody (2008, 131) as an 'oval, possibly bivallate E-W enclosure, c. 50m E-W x 35m N-S'; the morphology of this enclosure indicates that it may be Bronze Age in date (ibid.). Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 6 November 2013

• LI023-323 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  At the base of a N-facing slope of a hill, in the SE corner of a pasture field and to the immediate W of a townland boundary with Moigh. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified in 2005 by Emmet Byrnes, Forest Service archaeologist and described as a small chamber (L 1.9m; Wth 1.4m) defined by a large thin slab to the W side and a low subrectangular-shaped stone to rear, upon which rests a large oval-shaped capstone. The side stone to E is not visible and may be incorporated into the adjoining field boundary. There is an outlying upright orthostat offset from the tomb c. 0.45m to SW. The monument is aligned N-S and the internal height reaches 0.75m at the S end and decreasing to 0.15m at the N end. Some smaller stones compressed into the soil along the W side may be the remains of a cairn, however the tomb is flanked along this side by a farm trackway so this is uncertain. This megalithic monument has some characteristics of a wedge tomb, although it is not a typical example. Monument is not visible on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthophoto taken 2011-2013 or on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
