What is recorded here
In low-lying meadowland. A hachured area marked on the 1926 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be a large overgrown pit, locally regarded as a sand pit. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.
