Notes

  • now in field, but was orchard; bases project by 5 in. (max.); one has coating inside; in quite good condition but ivy growing on wall; orchard wall probably once belonged to a friary just outside the town of Rindoon (abandoned c.1340, but friary survived until 1500s); the Crutched Friars were medics (historical information from Archaeological Survey of Ireland, 2009; site RO046-004027)
