Recorded monuments

• RO026-041 Ford
  Description

  On the River Suck with Kilkeevan church (RO026-040001-) on higher ground c. 60m to the NW. A ford is marked on an unreferrenced and undated Longfield map in NLI. Neither the ford nor the church are marked on a late 18th centuyr map (Kelly, M. J. 2000). A concrete bridge (Wth 3m) now spans the river with connecting laneways. Archaeological testing on both sides of the river in 2003 failed to produce any archaeological material (Fitzpatrick 2006b). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO026-042 Cross
  Description

  Marked only on the 1929 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is situated in a low-lying position on the W side of the avenue leading S to the old Harristown House. This was a memorial erected where James Young, a landlord and magistrate, was murdered on 02-06-1877. His assassin was never convicted, although two Fenians, Thomas Weldon and Francis McHugh, were tried and acquitted in 1880. The assassin is thought to be a man called Farrell, and the weapon was hidden in a thatch but it is now in Boston, U. S. A. (Thorne 2000). The cross was erected in the avenue but vandalized in 1929, after which it was moved to the graveyard in Barrack St., Castlerea.
