What is recorded here

In pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1948 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1983 to be an overgrown hollow - possibly natural but more likely a disused quarry pit. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA132-010
