Recorded monuments

• WM013-025 Standing stone
  Description

  Situated on a low rise with good views to the N. A limestone pillar (H 1.5m; dims 0.2m x 0.15m) rectangular in plan which tapers towards the top. The area around the base has been trampled by cattle so it now stands in a hollow. Possibly a prehistoric standing stone although the stone has the appearance of a livestock scratching post of post-1700 date. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 April 2018

• WM013-029 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  Situated on undulating grassland. The stream which forms the townland boundary with Johnstown lies 50m to N. A series of earthworks, low banks and enclosures covering a large area (approx. 1.5 hectares) possibly represents the remains of a deserted medieval settlement. Four enclosures can be readily defined while at the N end of the site a wide area of low irregular banks & hummocks may represent the remains of disturbed house sites.

• WM013-111 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  The remains of a roughly-circular enclosure which could be the remains of a possible ringfort are visible on Bing Maps aerial photograph (pers. comm. C. McCormack). No antiquity is depicted at this location on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Battstown House located 225m to the SE, could be the remains of a landscape feature associated with Battstown House.
