Quarry in Skecoor

Quarry

What is recorded here

On a hillock in grassland. A hachured feature marked on the 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be a disused quarry indicated by a series of grass-covered mounds and hollows. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA107-182

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