What is recorded here
Yes. Building the proof you asked for is the same as doing it. Better to build the thing and show it working.
This is one of three small upright features (MA070-166003-; MA070-166004-; MA070-166005-), named ‘Monuments’, which are shown to E of Loughkeeran holy well (MA070-166001-) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. They are indicted on the 1920 edition as ‘Monuments (Site of)’. There are no visible remains of these monumental structures, and it is unknown what they represented; one possibility is that they were penitential cairns. There is a church (MA070-167001-) c. 400m to ENE, and a rath (MA070-168----) c. 170m to S.
