Indicated

In pasture, located on a low rise, providing good views over the surrounding rolling grassland. It lies close to the W boundary of the townland; the Roscommon border, which follows the course of a river, is 800m to E. Broadly oval area (35.8m N−S; 31.5m E−W) defined by an earthen bank. The bank (Wth 5.5m at SW, 4.5m at NE; int. H 0.45 at SW, 0.4m at NE; ext. H 1.6 at SW, 1.7 at NE), which is composed of sandy gravelly soil, is broadly slumped, with a very low internal rim. According to local information, the bank had an internal stone facing, which was robbed out to build field fences. The W half of the interior is level. There is a gently slope down from the centre towards the E, where there is a gap (Wth 4m) in the bank , which may be the location of an original entrance. There are two unconnected Man-made underground passage passages in the interior, one at SW (MA063-017002-) and the other at NW (MA063-017003-); they are indicated as ‘Caves’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, but are not shown on the 1920 edition. They appear to represent two Man-made underground passages, but it is possible that they are two discrete sections of one Man-made underground passage. Grass cover, with a few hawthorn trees on the perimeter. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 7 July 2020
