Recorded monuments

• WI007-040001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a natural level platform (dims. 30m x 20m) overlooking the steep bank of the Dargle River to the N and E. The OS letters (O’Flanagan 1928, 8) mention that some cut stone from the door and windows of a small church and burial ground, at the bottom of Powerscourt Waterfall, had already disappeared in 1836. A bullaun stone described by Price (1957, 287–8; 1959, 165) as a large boulder with four artificial hollows was, until recently, on the bank of the river to the S. The area has been severely damaged by flooding in recent years. 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: 28 September 2012

• WI007-041 Bullaun stone
  Description

  Named 'Praying stone' on the OS 6-inch map it was described by Price (1957, 287-8) as a large boulder with four 'artificial hollows' on the bank of the River Dargle. The area was inspected in 1989 and again in 2012. There is no visible surface indication of this boulder. The river course at this point has been degraded considerably as a result of storms and it is very likely that the bank where the boulder lay has been carried away by flood waters.
