What is recorded here

The symbol for a limekiln is represented on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map immediately to the W of a small circular feature. The limekiln is not indicated on the OS 25-inch plan (1911) though the circle is shown and named ‘St. Patrick’s Well’ The ‘holy well’ may clearly be identified with a bullaun stone (see LF009-001----). The limekiln survives as an irregularly shaped, relatively flat-topped mound of earth and stone (7m NNE-SSW; 5.2m WNW-ESE; H 0.3-0.85m). The bullaun stone appears to have been moved from its original location and it now protrudes from the top of the mound at NNW.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LF009-001002
