Recorded monuments

• OF016-016 Standing stone
  Description

  Unable to locate stone known locally as 'Barna Liaga stone'. Local information indicated that it was a large stone lying flat on the ground. They never remembered it standing erect. In the area where the stone is located there was a lot of field clearance in the ditch. The stone may have been removed during such field clearance. Described by Stanley (1870-1, 27-9) as the 'Barna Liaga' stone which was once erect and measured 6ft by 6ft and 3ft thick. Thlmas Stanley recorded in the nineteenth century that 'The stone 'Barna Liaga' is on the edge of a forgotten road, and it is about midway between the castle of Ballycowen and the castle upon Counsellor Molloys farm in Ballykilmurry. Betty Larkin told me she remembered to sit on its top before it was turned on its side. It is a sandstone. The upper surface measures nigh six feet every way, and it is about half that measure in thickness' (JRSAI 187-1, 28).

• OF016-050 House - 17th century
  Description

  Small 17th-century farmhouse which is probably contemporary with the nearby tower house (OF016-018----) to the S. Rectangular building (max. ext. dims. 17.4m E-W by 6.9m N-S, wall T c. 0.7m) two storeys high constructed with uncoursed limestone rubble orientated on an E-W axis. There is a doorway at the centre of the S wall which is directly opposite the central fireplace which divides the ground floor into two rooms and a second doorway later converted into a window at the centre of the N wall. There are three chimneys one on each gable with a fine Jacobean style chimney stack in the centre of the house. This chimney is similar to the chimney stack at Grange castle Co. Kildare. The chimney flue of the E gable protrudes beyond the external face of the gable wall. The E room has 2 windows on the S and N walls at ground floor level. The walls of the W room are poorly preserved. The fireplaces on the gable ends are at first floor level which is carried on timber beams the supports for which can still be seen along the two gable ends. Unfortunately the first floor and roof are now destroyed. It is possible that this house dates to the first half of the 17th-century and may have been built at the same time as the nearby Ballycowan castle (OF016-018----) which was built in 1626 by the Harbert family. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
