Quarry in Friarstown North

Situated on a S-facing slope in rolling pasture with good views to S, W and E. The monument is heavily obscured by scrub vegetation as well as fallen trees and a large amount of stones and boulders. A curvilinear bank (int. H 0.7m; Wth. 1.2m; ext. H 0.1m) of stones is visible from N to E, immediately N of a depression which is covered by a growth of scrub, and scattered with large stones and boulders. The area appears to have been quarried extensively. This curvilinear bank is probably upcast from post-1700 quarrying as this appears to be the site of a quarry and not the remains of a cashel. This location is depicted as an area of rock outcrop on OS 25-inch map. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 2 March 2020
