What is recorded here

On level rock pavement and rough grazing, c. 425m ESE of the ecclesiastical remains associated with St Colman Mac Duagh (CL006-023----). A small drystone cairn (2.2 x 2.2m; H 0.7m) with small stones on top may be a penitential cairn. A second, slightly larger cairn (CL006-025003-) stands 1.3m to SW and is joined to the former by a low drystone wall of single flags set on edge and vertically abutting one another. A possible holy well is located c. 2m to the E. The following image has been uploaded: CL006-025002-_01.jpg View from E. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 4 May 2021
