## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- WI015-010: Stone circle, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI015-010----. National Monument in state guardianship No. 416. Disturbed remains of a circle of granite blocks (int. diam. 23m) at the high N end of a small steep-sided ridge. There are sixteen stones in the area of the site of which only five are in situ; of the others, five are prostrate but probably close to their original position, three are clearly displaced while the remaining two are too small to have been original components. The stones in situ vary in height from 1.3m to 1.92m but (contra Burl 1976, 234) the pair at the NE are not the highest stones in the circle although their position, facing the outlier ('The Piper') 40m further to the NE, suggests that they may mark the entrance. The OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1928, 114) describe twenty-nine stones including displaced examples and record a then recent attempt to plant the site with trees. A trench dug around the inner edge of the circle was noted and also the presence of a bank between the stones which may be the origin of the low bank now visible between the stones at the SE. The outlier (WI015-010001-) occurs downslope to the E and is a large cup-marked glacial erratic (H 1.95m; diam. c. 2.9m). While it is a natural feature there is no reason to believe that it did not form an integral part of the site. Crossing the top of the stone at right-angles are two well-defined grooves and a similar curved groove occurs on what was the top of a prostrate stone in the SE part of the circle. It is clear that these are not entirely natural. (Burl 1976, 234; Walshe 1931, 128-30) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 18 October 2017 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 97/1940).
- WI015-010001: Rock art, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI015-010001-. National Monument in state guardianship No. 416. A large domed cupmarked granite boulder (dims. 2.4m x 2m x H 1.4m) known locally as the 'Piper Stone' stands c. 40m NE of stone circle (WI015-010----) depicted on the OS 6-inch map as 'The Pipers Stones'. The upper surface of the boulder features a cross shaped groove (dims. Wth 0.06-0.1m x 0.03-0.05m D). One of the grooves is aligned E-W and follows a vein of quartz. The second groove is roughly N-S. North of the intersection the groove is well-defined. However, south of the intersection the groove is very shallow, and extends down the side of the slab, whereas elsewhere the grooves are restricted to the upper surface of the boulder. Six cup marks can also be found on the upper surface of the boulder. Three cupmarks (max. diam. 0.17m x 0.03m D) are found in the NW quadrant formed by the cross. A single cupmark (diam. 0.10m x 0.02m D) occurs in the NE quadrant. There are two further cupmarks in the SE quadrant (diam. 0.11m x 0.02m deep). There are no cupmarks evident in the SW quadrant.

- WI015-026: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI015-026----. Situated on a gentle W-facing slope. Semicircular area (dims. 30m N-S; 20.5m E-W) defined S-W-N by an earthen bank (Wth 5-7m; H 1m) which terminates at each end at a cliff-edge which forms the side of the Hollywood Glen. There is an external fosse (Wth 4-6m; D 0.8m) and an outer bank (Wth 3-4m; H 1m). The entrance consists of a gap (Wth 3m) at the N between the ramparts and a field boundary extending along the cliff-edge. There are no visible internal features. Another ringfort (WI015-027----) occupies a similar position on the opposite side of the Glen c. 250m to the SE and there is a standing stone (WI015-084----) 30m to the NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
