Recorded monuments
- RO007-010 Ringfort - rath
Description
Towards the top of the NW-facing slope of a drumlin. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 26.5-27m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) at WSW and scarp (H 0.2m generally to 0.9m at N) elsewhere, with an outer fosse represented by a band of rushes (Wth 3m) SE-SW. There is no visible entrance. It remains unplanted in a coniferous forest (OSI images 2005). The monument was damaged early in 2020 through the digging of two NE-SW forestry drains through the interior, but in so far as possible the damage was rectified through a full survey and the re-instatement of the ground under archaeological supervision (20E0280). No artefacts were recovered, but a portion of the bank survives at NW where it was visible in section as a brown silty clay with small stones (Wth c. 2m; H 0.4m) at the inner edge of the dark brown silty clay of the fosse, which had not been penetrated (excavations.ie 2020:123).

- RO007-011001 Canal
Description
Described as an 'old deserted canal' accompanied by a laneway or towpath (RO007-011002-) on an undated Longfield map in NLI (ms. 21. F. 44 (40)), it is not marked on any ed. of the OS 6-inch map, although its line is indicated on the 1837 ed. Situated on the floodplain of the River Shannon, avoiding or by-passing shallows on that river. The canal (original L c. 2km) ran from just below Battle Bridge to a point just above Inishnagon island, Co. Leitrim, and it was replaced by the present Lough Allen canal on the Leitrim side in the 1850s. The canal was c. 100-200m from the river and has largely been filled in, but an extensive grass and reed-covered section (L c. 700m; Wth 8-11m; D 0.2-0.9m) survives at its N end. There is no clear evidence of the towpath. This is probably the work begun by Col. Charles Tarrant after 1787 but never completed.

- RO007-053 Ringfort - rath
Description
At the crest of the E-facing slope of a small drumlin. Subcircular platform (dims 27 E-W; 23.7m N-S) in a mature coniferous forest defined by a scarp (H 0.5m at W to 0.9m at N). There is no visible fosse or entrance. The forest is now cut and the area is excluded from the re-planting (Bing c. 2013). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 27 May 2013
- RO007-054 Church
Description
Depicted as a roofed NE-SW structure described as 'Site of Church' but with no graveyard on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. A Church of Ireland parish church consisting of a rectangular structure (ext. dims 20.2m NE-SW; 9.1m NW-SE) with a sacristy at the N end of the NW wall survives complete but roofless. It has been closed since the 1980s and is within a rectangular graveyard (dims 49m NE-SW; 45m NW-SE) defined by masonry walls, but there is no evidence of an older structure and there are no references to an ancient church in Lustia townland.
