What is recorded here

On a slight rise in undulating pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1947 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1983 to be an overgrown and infilled gravel pit. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.
