Quarry in Lakyle North

Quarry

What is recorded here

Listed as ‘Earthwork’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996) as it was hachured on the 1922 OS 6-inch map. However, it is hachured on the OS 25-inch map and named ‘Quarry (disused)’. On inspection in 2001 an irregular quarried area (38m N-S; 80 E-W) was noted. It may have been used for fill in the construction of the neaby battery (CL068-046----).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CL068-047

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
