What is recorded here

This record was formerly classified as Unclassified earthwork in the SMR (1987) and as Earthwork unclassified in the RMP (1997). A review of the evidence indicates that it is a series of disused gravel pits. Therefore, it has been reclassified as a Quarry.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA106-065
