Description
Fyrish Monument is a late 18th century picturesque structure. It features a line of nine circular piers made of random rubble, with the central four piers linked by pointed-headed arches that form an arcade. The masonry above these arches rises in short, stumpy sections, creating an impression of being unfinished and ruinous.
