Newgrange

In gently undulating rocky pasture. Carville (1990, 51-2) believes that this deserted settlement represents the remains of a residential grange belonging to the Abbey of Boyle. The area extends over approximately 20 acres. The area is dominated on the NE side by a low hillock. To the E and SE of the hillock is an area of low, wet pasture within which is a holy well (SL005-034---). The S and E portions of the area consists of gently undulating rocky pasture. Views are good to excellent in all directions. The majority of the features are low in profile and difficult to distinguish from natural rocky undulations across the area. The individual components that make up the settlement are described separately (see SL005-033001- to SL005-033006-). Compiled by: Mark Keegan, Paul Walsh Date of upload: 11 June 2013
