What is recorded here

On the W-face of a hill in undulating pastureland. A feature indicated by a broken line on the 1947-8 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be a disused quarry. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.
