Recorded monuments

• CW004-024001 Standing stone
  Description

  The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Known locally as 'The Giant's Lift'. Rectangular block of granite (H 1.2m; girth 2.6m) with irregular grooves. (JRSAI 1939, 105).

• CW004-024002 Megalithic structure
  Description

  This was listed in the SMR (1986) as a ‘megalithic structure’ and ‘standing stone’ and included in the RMP (1995) as ‘megalithic structure possible’. The reference to the ‘megalithic structure’ is derived from a site report made for the ITA survey in 1945 where it is recorded that ‘At present it [the standing stone] is in the middle of a wheat field and there are difficulties in examining the surroundings but there appears to be the remains of a larger structure perhaps megalithic as other stones are half buried.’ (SMR file). There is no evidence of any structure at the stone in the photo published by O’Toole in 1939 nor does he make any reference to other features present at the site (1939, 105, No. 13). Other than the standing stone there is no visible trace in the surrounding field of any megalithic remains. (O’Toole and Mitchell 1939, 105, No. 13 (photograph), 108, 110; Brindley and Kilfeather 1993, 14, No. 104) Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload/revision: 1 April 2019
