What is recorded here

Standing stone in Castlefarm marks the first of five monuments stretched along the Oldtown boundary, yet modern images show only wet pasture where the stone should rise. The line may still hold beneath grass and drain, waiting for someone to walk the full distance and test whether memory or soil is stronger.

In improved wet pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses, 60m NW of a townland boundary with Oldtown. One of a complex of five monuments aligned roughly NE-SW along the townland boundary, over an approximate distance of 165m and consisting of a standing stone (LI032-160001-), three ring-barrows LI032-160002-/03-/04-) and an enclosure (LI032-160005-). Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified by Grogan (1989, 269) as ‘Castlefarm 1’. Monument is not visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-2012 or on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013 or on Google Earth orthoimage taken 20/09/2020. The precise location of this monument cannot be confirmed as there is no access to thesis in the paper file.
