One of a dense concentration of cropmarks of levelled monuments identified from several aerial photographic sources: Cambridge University Collection Aerial Photographs (CUCAP), Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI), Dr. Gillian Barrett’s Aerial Survey and OSi Orthophotos (KD035-007----, KD035-008----, KD035-009----, KD035-010----, KD035-011----, KD035-0120001-, KD035-012002-, KD035-017----, KD035-034----, KD035-035----, KD035-036----, KD035-039----, KD035-040----, KD035-041----, KD035-015---- and KD035-080----). The majority occupy a roughly rectangular area (c. 650m E-W; c. 350m N-S) in level tillage, with two ‘outliers’ (KD035-0120001- and KD035-012002-) c. 250m to the S, and a third ‘outlier’ (KD-34-027----) c. 220m to the NW. KD035-015---- Aerial photograph (GSI S 219) shows a cropmark of narrow fosse surrounding a sub-rectangular or oval area. Visible at ground level as a very slight depression (c. 27m N-S; C. 11m E-W; D 0.10m). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 28 November 2013
