Quarry

What is recorded here

A hachured area marked on the 1930 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and named 'Quarry (Disused)' on the OS 25-inch plan, proved on inspection in 1984 to consist of a large roughly oval-shaped depression, the base of which was water filled. Probably of 19th/20th century date.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA006-131

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