What is recorded here

Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 30m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on digital aerial photographs (WX048-149_1 to _6) taken in July 2006. The cropmarks of regular field drains are connected to it, and it may be a small field.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WX048-149
