What is recorded here

Sir Richard Boyle, the first Earl of Cork, developed the economy of his extensive grants of land in Waterford wherever he could by promoting iron-working. A double-furnace had been built near the castle at Lisfinny (WA028-013----) in 1620, and a storehouse for iron was operating here in 1638. It remains unlocated. (Power 1978, 32) Power, T.

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

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
