Recorded monuments

• SL034-183 Holed stone
  Description

  In a wall bounding a narrow road which forms the townland boundary between Brickeen and Bellanagarrigeeny or Castlebaldwin. A limestone slab (H 0.7m; Wth 0.55) set upright in the stone wall. A circular perforation (diam. 0.15m) centrally placed c. 0.55m below the top of the stone, extends obliquely (D c. 0.35m) through the thickness of the stone. This stone was described by Prof. R. A.
