What is recorded here

Bingfield is not listed in the completed survey, though Gortnashangan Lower is not empty. A tall granite pillar still stands in pasture, its base packed with smaller stones to keep it upright. The distinction may be a boundary, a ownership mark or a landmark for a lost road.

According to Davies (ITA Survey 946), this was situated on a slight rise in good pasture with a restricted view. A very weathered block of local granite (H 1.2m; dims, 1m x 0.74m). Socket packed with several small stones. Not located. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
