What is recorded here

This large deep hollow is possibly the result of quarry works. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. A natural cave (GA094-027----) was evident at the base of the hollow.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA094-025
