Designated sites
No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Cuilleenoolagh.
Recorded monuments
- RO047-058021 Field system
Description
On a S-facing slope. An area of about 10 acres (c. 2 ha) close to a pond contains relict field walls consisting of the bases of drystone walls. They form fairly regular rectangular fields (dims c. 60m x c. 30m). No house sites or lazy beds were identified, and they are probably post-medieval. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO048-097002 Field system
Description
An area of about 18 acres (c. 7.5 ha) with some relict field walls which are hard to distinguish from the eratics strewn on the ground. No lazy beds or house sites or recognisable pattern was noted. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO048-098 Linear earthwork
Description
On an undulating landscape. This wall (L c. 5km) forms the boundary between Moyfinn, which is the Keogh territory of Taghmaconnell parish, to the S and the parishes of Dysart, which was O'Fallon of Milltown territory, and Cam parish to the N as marked on the Strafford map of Athlone barony c. 1636 (Simington 1949). It is also the boundary between Clonfert and Elphin dioceses. Drystone-built wall (Wth c. 1m; H c. 1.2-1.6m), well-built, but collapsed in places. It is slightly stronger than other walls in the area, frequently with two flush faces, but there is no evidence of an older wall on its line. It is accompanied at its E end by a laneway (L c. 700m) on its N side. Although this follows the line depicted on the Strafford map there is no conclusive evidence that it is the wall represented.
