What is recorded here

The earthwork indicated on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map is a cliff-edge face or quarry face associated with a lime kiln that is indicated on this edition of the map. The lime-kiln is shown on the S face of the cliff-edge which is the result of quarrying into the hillside. This earthwork dates from the post-1700 period and has been re-classified as a lime-kiln of post-1700 date. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 09 December 2011
