What is recorded here
On a low rise towards the bottom of the S-facing slope of Ballyformoyle Hill. A sunken, overgrown area (int. dims 2.2m NE-SW; 1.7m NW-SE; D 0.6m) defined by a large sandstone slab at SE and parallel limestone slabs at the NE and SW sides. It was investigated in the early 19th-century when it was thought to have rock-art (RO004-052002-) (D'Alton 1845, 115-6), of which there is no evidence, and it now includes drystone walling at the NW end.
