  Description

  In gently undulating pasture with good views. An upright sandstone slab (H 2.15m; 1.14m x 0.47m; long axis NNE-SSW) leaning to NW. The flat SE face and the gently convex NW face both taper towards the top. Another standing stone (SL044-058----) is c. 75m to SE in the adjoining field.

• SL044-059001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In stony pasture, on top of a hillock. A raised circular area (int. diam. 27.5m N-S; 29.1m E-W) defined by a collapsed stone wall (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m) along the E and S arcs and by a scarp (H 1.2m) elsewhere. Apart from a section at SE, the wall may have been replaced by a field boundary. The interior rises towards the centre. There is a possible souterrain (SL044-059002-) in the NW quadrant. This cashel and the possible raths (SL044-085----) are probably those referred to as 'several old forts' in 1836 in the townland of Doon (OSNB vol. 1, 422).
