What is recorded here

Two hachured features marked on the 1946 revision of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1985 to be overgrown disused quarry pits. As they are of post-AD 1700 date they do not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA100-107
