Local History - Stone Depots

The parish of Rathgormack has a large collection of Stone depot "Stone depots" within it. These are small recessed areas
bounded by rubblestone walls with vertical coping located on the
roadsides around County Waterford. These depots were used for the
breaking and storage of stone for use in the construction of roads by the local landowners under the aegis of the Grand Jury. There are 47 such depots along the R676 Lemybrien to Carrickon Suir road listed on the RPS (Record of Protected Structures) and are of social and historical interest. Work on this road began in 1840 and took 5 years.
"In order to provide labour and a source of income in the area which was greatly effected by the Potato Famine of 1845-49 , some work relief schemes were started in 1846. Roads were widened and repaired, hills and hollows were levelled. A "New Line", as it is still referred to today, was cut and built as a new road between Carrick and Lemybrien." source www.Rathgormack.com
