What is recorded here
In pasture, located in a broad low rise or knoll, surrounded by a flat expanse of boggy ground.
According to local tradition, there is an 'underground passage' or possible Man-made underground passage at this location. It is associated with an earth and stone bank (L 19m E-W; Wth c. 4.5m), known locally as ‘moat’, which may be the remains of an enclosure (MA021-100001-). According to local information, the Man-made underground passage was used as a hide-out during the 1798 Rebellion. It is said to have been ‘opened’ or explored in 1910 by a local landowner, James Henry. There is no visible trace at ground level.
