What is recorded here

In pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1944-5 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be a disused limestone quarry, which probably supplied the limekiln that lies c. 300m to the SW. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA108-172
