Quarry in Ballyduff More, County Clare

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

What is recorded here

Not listed in the SMR (1992) or in the RMP (1996). A possible circular enclosure is visible on aerial photographs (ASIAP, CL, 205, 27-8). On inspection in 2002 this was found to be a natural rise with no banks or fosses and a wide band of rushes around the base. There was a quarry at the centre.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CL032-066
