What is recorded here
First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen - Scramoge road development. It is located on a fairly level landscape. A linear feature (L c. 400m) runs sinuously in a NW-SE direction through five fields. It is manifest towards the NW end as a low, grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 8m; H at SW 0.3m; H at NE 0.2m) with a slight fosse or drain (Wth of top 4.15m; ext. D 0.3m) on the NE side. This morphs into a linear hollow (Wth of top 8.2m; Wth of base 3.25m; D 0.3m) as it progresses SE but narrows towards that end.
