Recorded monuments

• WX013-006 Standing stone - pair
  Description

  Located on a slight ESE-facing slope that is covered in a thin layer of peat, the stones are clearly visible from a distance from many directions. Two granite stones 2.6m apart are aligned E-W. The E stone (dims 0.72m x 0.25m; max. H 0.75m) has a flat top but the W stone (dims 0.78m x 0.15m; max. H 0.6m) is more irregular in shape. They were first reported by Michael Monahan. See attached photographs taken by Michael Monahan: WX013-006----_01 WX013-006----_02 WX013-006----_03 WX013-006----_04 Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 May 2019 Amended: 8 September 2020

• WX013-007 Standing stone
  Description

  Located on a gentle S-facing slope in the E foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. It is looking across a small col at Cloroge More hill to the S. This is a granite stone with a roughly rectangular cross-section at the base (dims 0.77m x 0.4m), but it was damaged in antiquity as large pieces have probably been removed from the W side of the stone and it now achieves its maximum height (H 0.95m) at the NE angle. It was first reported by Byron Jones. See attached photograph by Séamus Ó Murchú, 2016 Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 8 September 2020

• WX013-009 Structure
  Description

  Small rectangular hut site located west of a trackway running north-south up the slope. It is aligned northeast-southwest on its long axis (5.5m) and is 3m wide. The surviving walls are in good condition and it currently stands to a maximum height of 1m. There is no obvious sign of an entrance but it may have been on the northeast wall as indicated by less stone on that side as well as its more collapsed nature which may have resulted from stone tumbling into the entrance. The trackway it stands beside is linked to a series of such tracks on the southern and eastern slopes of Mount Leinster which according to local folklore were used to transport turf off the mountain using horse and cart. There is no further evidence of other huts in the surrounding area. It does not appear to have been corbelled (this suggestion is made based on the fact that there is no evidence for a collapsed stone roof on the inside). Given its isolated position, it may have acted as a temporary weather shelter or storehouse for turf cutters on this isolated and exposed part of the mountain range. One hillwalker (Michael Monahan) suggested that this hut may be a site referred to by locals in the townland of Ballycrystal as “Brennan’s” (Ó Murchú 2016).
