What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on a N-facing slope overlooking Ballysadare Bay. An ancient field boundary wall extends SSW from a large glacial erratic (2.3m square), named the 'Giant's Rock', for c. 100m and can also be traced to NE for c. 15m. The boundary is represented by intermittent boulders, the tops of which rise above the surface of the bog. (pers. comm. E. Cody)
