Recorded monuments

• MA120-043 Anomalous stone group
  Description

  In pasture, on SE facing slope. DeValéra and Ó Nualláin (1964, p. xiii, note no. 3) assessed this group of stones as follows: 'The monument marked 'Memorial Stones' on 6" Sheet 120, in Nymphfield Townland consists of three large standing stones and a fourth smaller stone, perhaps collapsed. One of the standing stones, incorporated in a fence, is .90 m. by .80 m. and 1.60 m. high. The second stone stands 3.00 m. NE of the last and is 1.20 m. by .70 m. and 1.3 m. high. The third standing stone is 4.2 m. south of the last and 2.4m from the first stone. It is 1.2 m. by 1.00 m. and 1.7m. High. The fourth stone, which lies to the east of the standing stones is 0.7 m. by .25 m. and 0.2m m. high. The nature of the monument is doubtful but it cannot, on present evidence, be accepted as a megalithic tomb.' Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 December 2014

• MA120-050 Cave
  Description

  In densely wooded karst. This cave is a as National Monument (No. 413) in state ownership. Twelve steps descend to sunken forecourt; sides supplemented by dry-stone walling, leading S to entrance. Entrance (H 1.7m; Wth 0.76m) gives access to chamber (L 15.3m N-S; H 3m - 4.5m; Wth 2.6m - 3.3m), in artifically enlarged cave. Two stone benches (L 7.5m and L 4m) set along E and W walls, respectively. Recess (D 1m) set in W wall, 1.8m above floor level, contains dry-stone table.
