  1. Local Monuments

    Share Share Post
    This district does not contain many monuments. The only one that is of any popularity is Ballyheen Piers situated about three miles from the town of Kanturk.
    There are two limestone piers with a distance of about ninety yards between, and about thirty six feet in height. It is known locally that the piers were erected to mark the ground where the battle of Knocknanuss was to take place.
