What is recorded here
Carriganaffrin is a mass-rock on Knockseefin in County Limerick, marked on the 1840 Ordnance Survey map and later drawn as a cliff-edge quarry face. It sits just below the summit, a hundred metres from an old burial mound, where stone may have been taken for walls, roads or memorials. Scrub has since crept across the place, softening the quarry edge and hiding the hands that shaped it.
Just below the summit of Knockseefin, immediately N of townland boundary with Gortnanuv and 100m SW of burial mound (LI024-012----) standing on top of Knockseefin. Annotated ‘Carriganaffrin’ on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map. Depicted as a cliff-edge face of an old quarry on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map. Visible on Google Earth orthoimage dated 18/11/2018 now partially covered with scrub vegetation.
