What is recorded here

An irregular shaped tree-lined earthwork or enclosure is visible on Bing Maps aerial photograph (pers. comm. C. McCormack). This enclosure is outlined on the 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map where it is depicted as an irregular-shaped grove of trees and not as an antiquity. No archaeological monument or any earthwork is depicted at this location on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Probably the remains of a tree-ring or grove of trees dating from the late 1800s or early 1900s which was planted to enclose an area of marsh land.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WM024-188
